Trainer Adam Trinder has this morning contacted Racing Victoria (RV) Stewards requesting that defending champion Mystic Journey be withdrawn from The All-Star Mile 2020.
The decision was made by Mr Trinder and the mare’s owners due to an injury-interrupted preparation and the stable’s view that she may not be in peak condition in time for The All-Star Mile on Saturday, 14 March at Caulfield.
Mr Trinder also advised the Stewards that at this time it is his intention to continue with the mare's preparation for other races during the Autumn period.
The All-Star Mile was the only current Victorian nomination held by Mystic Journey.
