Annabel Neasham believes Laws Of Indices is the perfect horse to represent Australia when he takes on the mighty Golden Sixty in the Gr.1 Hong Kong Mile
Chris Waller-trained Comin’ Through, unplaced four years ago in the same race, was the last Australian horse to attempt the Mile.
Former Irish-trained Laws Of Indices, a Gr.1 winner in France in last year’s Prix Jean Prat, joined Sydney-based Neasham’s Warwick Farm stables last year from Ken Condon.
Although yet to add to the three wins he had in Europe, the son of Power finished a narrowly beaten second in the Gr.1 Toorak Handicap at Caulfield and was then beaten less than three lengths in the Cox Plate.
Neasham is excited by the challenge of her first international run in the US$3.85 million race. “I haven’t had an overseas runner before and obviously Hong Kong is somewhat seen as the pinnacle of racing, so I’m privileged to be invited,” she said.
Neasham eventually turned her attention to the Flat, spending six months working for Gai Waterhouse in Sydney before moving to Melbourne for Ciaron Maher. Neasham was Maher’s assistant when he opened stables at Warwick Farm before branching out on her own.
