G1 Sires' Produce S. winner Yankee Rose (Aus) (All American {Aus}) was given the go-ahead by trainer David Vandyke for Saturday's G1 Golden Rose S. after a satisfactory work between races at the Sunshine Coast on Sunday. The 3-year-old filly has not had a straightforward start to her prep, but Vandyke told Sky Thoroughbred Central he was pleased with Sunday's work.
“She had a good blow and her heart rate was up but her recovery was good,” Vandyke said. “She is a frustrating filly to train. She doesn't do a lot in training or trials and she had a joint issue a couple of weeks ago. I put the blinkers on and we saw an improved horse.”
“She was committed to the cause and really worked to the line strongly,” he added. “Bringing her to the races and putting the blinkers on has done the trick.”
