Edmonds happy with Houtzen’s training for King’s Stand Stakes
4YO mare Houtzen and travelling companion Acqume are enroute to the UK for their date with destiny in the Royal Meeting next week.
Jamie Spencer warmed the saddle for Kerrin McEvoy, who will ride her in the Gr.1 King’s Stand Stakes, and trainer Toby Edmonds’ son and foreman, Trent Edmonds, said the four-year-old worked strongly.
Houtzen was competitive at Group 1 level during the Melbourne spring carnival, including a luckless fifth to Viddora in the Moir Stakes.
