Connections of The Chosen One (NZ) (Savabeel) are thrilled with the way he has returned to New Zealand after his fourth-placing in the Gr.1 Melbourne Cup (3200m) last week.
The Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman-trained runner had a pleasing spring, winning first-up at Flemington in September before running third in the Gr.1 Caulfield Cup (2400m) last month.
“He has been home for just over a week now,” Forsman said. “It was great to get him home so quickly, he’s letting down really well.
“He will probably only need to have another three or four weeks out and we will get him back in and prepare for the autumn.”
