Former New Zealand-trained galloper Subpoenaed (Rip van Winkle-Notice Received, by O’Reilly) will line up in the Gr2 Millie Fox Stakes (1300m) at Rosehill on Saturday ahead of the Gr1 Coolmore Classic (1500m) next month. It will be the Rip Van Winkle mare’s first raceday start this preparation, and NZ Racing Desk reports Waller has been pleased with her progress this time in. “She has returned well from her Summer break,” Waller said. “She would appreciate the track improving a little and she loves Rosehill. “She has trialled and worked well so I am expecting a good showing from her first up. It was my preference to give them both (Subpoenaed and stablemate Madam Rogue) two runs into the Coolmore, but as time is likely to be against us, they will both probably have a trial to ensure they can run in the Coolmore second up over the 1500m distance.” Subpoenaed was formerly trained in New Zealand by Cambridge conditioner Tony Pike, for whom she won her only start, over 1100m at Te Rapa. She has subsequently won three further races for Waller, including the Gr2 Golden Pendant (1400m).
