Jamie Kah is set to ride The Map, trained by Dan Clarken and Oopy MacGillivray, in the upcoming Group 2 Adelaide Cup (3200m) at Morphettville on Monday week.
Kah previously guided the five-year-old to a commanding victory in a Benchmark 96 (2800m) event on Melbourne Cup Day last year.
“She’s (Kah) obviously been in the mix to ride her since Flemington and her management confirmed her for the ride this week,” shared Clarken with Racing.com.
“She’s (The Map) pulled up enormous. The plan was to always try and get the back of the McEvoy horse (Unusual Pearl), who had a big spruik on it, but she found herself a long way off them and a lot of horses in front of her.”
“I thought her last 100 metres was solid and we always knew she was going to take a lot out of the second-up run.”
This collaboration marks Kah’s pursuit of a second Adelaide Cup victory, having previously triumphed with Daqiansweet Junior in 2022.
