Lankan Rupee Future In Memsie A Question of Dollars
Mick Price confirmed his plan to take Lankan Rupee (out of Redoute's Choice) to the Gr.3 Spring Stakes (1200m) in Adelaide. Price had dual nominated the 2013/14 Australian Horse of the Year for the Gr. 2 P.B. Lawrence Stakes (1400m) but now has decided to take Lankan Rupee to Adelaide.
With a total earnings of $76,800, it became evident on Monday that Lankan Rupee would be not able to bust the ballot for the Memsie, which requires a minimum $90,000 performance within the last 2 years. With his decision to run Lankan Rupee in Gr.3 Spring Stakes, he might not get a run in the Memsie but Price said it’s good for the horse to run in the 1200m. Price also said “He can still get a run in the Memsie if there's less than 16. If he does, he does, if he doesn't, he doesn't.”
