Plenty of Highlights on TAB Epsom Day

TAB Epsom Day at Royal Randwick delivered plenty of highlights on the track.

The first of three Group 1 races on the program saw Lady Shenandoah impressively claim the Darley Flight Stakes for Chris Waller ridden by Zac Lloyd.  Part of the Darley Princess Series it also gave the breeders of the winner (Arrowfield Stud & Planette Thoroughbred) a nomination to champion Group 1 winner, Cylinder.

The victory was one of three winners for gun jockey Zac Lloyd who had a big day out also winning on State of America and Airman.

Land Legend gave Chris Waller his second Group 1 win of the day when the 5YO gelding survived a protest to beat Zardozi in the James Squire Metropolitan. It also gave jockey Reece Jones his first ever Group 1 win.

The headline race of the day in the $1.5 million TAB Epsom went to Ceolwulf for Joe Pride who bolted away to win the race with Chad Schofield in the saddle.
