Approaching the home turn in Saturday’s Gr.1 Sydney Cup (3200m), Waverley trainer Bill Thurlow had the feeling something special was about to unfold in front of him.

克里斯·沃勒马房的第二猛将——「秋天太阳」退役，今春将在艾罗菲尔德育马场开启种公马生涯。出道至今的不到一年时间里，这匹现年三岁的公马参加了9场比赛，全部跑入了三甲，在8场中夺得了冠军，其中包括5场一级赛。3月26日，「瑞都特之选」因伤被实施了人道毁灭，艾罗菲尔德育马场提前让它的儿子「秋天太阳」退役，可能和这一意外有关。

The pride of Waverley Glory Days has arrived in Sydney ahead of her tilt at Saturday’s $2 million Sydney Cup at Randwick.

Waverley trainer Bill Thurlow took Gr.1 Auckland Cup (3200m) winner Glory Days to Wanganui for a gallop between races on Thursday and was not entirely pleased with the hit-out.

The next chapter in the fairytale story of Glory Days is set to unfold at Randwick on April 13, when the lightly-framed stayer contests the Gr.1 Sydney Cup (3200m).
