Dramatic 2000 Guineas winner Aegon may attempt a miracle double in New Zealand's equal-richest horse race.
The 3-year-old remained unbeaten in three starts with his nose victory in the $500,000 classic at Riccarton on Saturday, the culmination of a risky training plan and a brilliant ride from Leith Innes.
Co-trainer and part-owner Andrew Forsman along with Murray Baker chose not to race Aegon between his Hawke's Bay Guineas win early last month and Saturday's Group 1 triumph and Forsman admits they may map out an even more radical plan for the gelding's next start.
"He will have a spell now and then the next aim is the $1 million Karaka Classic Mile (January 23)," says Forsman.
"He might even go into that without another, maybe just a trial.
