Historical Analysis of the Memsie Stakes

The New Zealand jockey James McDonald confirmed his super star status at just twenty years-of-age after taking the 2012 BMW Sydney Carnival by storm, including riding a treble on Doncaster Mile Day, by winning the HK$12m, Group 1 BMW Champions Mile (1600m) in Xtension (IRE) at Sha Tin on Sunday.

It was Darren Beadman who got the victory for the John Moore trained Xtension last year and this year it was the task of young NZ Jockey James McDonald to get the 2012 win.

Trainer Peter Moody appears to be warming to the prospect of running his champion mare Black Caviar in Hong Kong in December.

Leading Melbourne trainer Peter Moody fresh from guiding unbeaten world champion sprinter Black Caviar to her record twentieth straight win last week in Morphettville is spreading his team far and wide this weekend with runners at Flemington, Gold Coast and Hong Kong.
