Fresh from success in Saturday’s Group 3 Euroz Hartleys WA Champion Fillies Stakes (1600m), Kyra Yuill will get a chance for more feature race glory aboard The Velvet King in this Saturday’s Railway Stakes (1600m).

Next week sees the running of the Group 2 Lee Steere Stakes (1400m) and Listed Fairetha Stakes (1400m) at Ascot. The Lee Steere Stakes looms as a select field, while the three-year-old colts and geldings get their chance to press their claims for the WA Guineas. Last year’s Fairetha Stakes was taken out by Kallaroo, above.

Tough times don’t last. Tough people do.
