Shamrocker Valley Gallop

16 August 2011

Last season Group 1 winners Shamrocker (O’Reilly) and Cedarberg (Helenus) will gallop on the course proper at Moonee Valley this morning.

Shamrocker has never raced at Moonee Valley and O’Brien is keen to give her some experience around the track. The four-year-old is scheduled to resume in the Memsie Stakes (Gr 2, 1400m) at Caulfield on Saturday week.

O’Brien is also sending Turnbull Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m) winner Vigor (O’Reilly), who is an entry for Saturday’s Moonee Valley meeting.
