Star sprinter Eduardo is back in training.
A multiple Group 1 winner in his own right, Eduardo has walked back into trainer Joe Pride’s Warwick Farm stable looking great as a monster autumn campaign awaits.
The eight-year-old is likely to run first-up in the Group 1 Black Caviar Lightning Stakes down the Flemington straight where he’ll face the greatest sprinter in the world, Nature Strip.
“He looks fantastic, he’s come back in looking great,” Pride said on SEN Track’s Bensley.
“He’s just a pleasure to have around, he’s an amazing animal.
“Just thrilled to have him back in the stable.
“Everything he’s done in the last 12 months just continues to improve and I’m really looking forward to the prep with him.
“He’ll kick off in the Lightning all going well, then the Challenge Stakes (1000m) and then the T.J. Smith (1200m) and hopefully up to Brisbane as he did last year and finish up there in the Doomben 10,000 (1100m).
“He’ll have a winter spell and then back again for another crack at the Everest.”
Eduardo has had two attempts at Australia’s richest race, The Everest, and he’s currently rated a $9 hope for the 2022 edition.
