Light Autumn Campaign For Jameka

G1 Caulfield Cup winner Jameka (Aus) (Myboycharlie {Ire}) will have a light autumn campaign, with her main targets for 2017 once again coming in the spring, trainer Ciaron Maher told Racing.com. The 4-year-old filly won this term' G3 Naturalism S. before finishing second to Hartnell (GB) (Authorized {Ire}) in the G1 Turnbull S., and she won the Caulfield Cup by a resounding three lengths before finishing 15th of 24 in the G1 Melbourne Cup. She emerged from that famed contest with a tear in her sacroiliac, and is now enjoying a spell.

“We just had to keep her in a pretty confined space, in a small paddock for a couple of weeks, she just had a little tear behind, in her sacroiliac, but she should make a full recovery from that,” Maher told Racing.com. “We'll probably just give her a light autumn. She's had a pretty consistent time since she's started racing as a 2-year-old, so might just give her a light autumn with a view to have her cherry ripe for the spring again next year.”
