In such a strong staying performance, former Melbourne Cup winner Almandin got another G1 in the 2018 HE Tancred Stakes at Rosehill on Saturday.
Almandin was sitting more forward this time and was too tough.

The man behind the peach of a ride on Almandin, @KPMcEvoy, caught up with Bernadette Cooper to discuss what just unfolded. Kerrin's rode the two races on him, and brought up 2 Group 1's. Amazing stuff! pic.twitter.com/Py1LJFf6bV
