More Joyous won't be given the opportunity...
More Joyous won't be given the opportunity to defend her Doncaster Mile crown with Gai Waterhouse confirming another clash with Pierro in the $2 million race is off the cards...With Pierro dominant in the Canterbury Stakes and meeting More Joyous better at the weights in the Doncaster, connections have decided to target the Group 1 All Aged Stakes (1400m) at Royal Randwick on April 27. The decision allows Nash Rawiller to stick with both horses for the remainder of the BMW Sydney Autumn Carnival as Pierro will race in the George Ryder Stakes (1500m) before the Doncaster Mile and then most likely Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m).
