Pride of Jenni will not be nominated for Saturday’s Empire Rose Stakes.
Her leg isn’t quite 100%, and Tony won’t be taking any risks with her.
The Champions Mile remains an option if she’s back to 100%. Otherwise, she’ll head to Perth.

📰 No Champions Mile for Buckaroo. He heads to Perth for the Railway and the Northerly. @Racing @SENGiddyUp
