Jardena wins Wyndham Cup from Stuff.co.nz:
"Grey mare Jardena relished the heavy track to win yesterday's $12,000 Wyndham Cup.
She moved into contention on the turn and scampered clear for jockey Ashlee Mundy.
''I couldn't have got a better run,'' Mundy said.
''From the 1000m I was really travelling and I knew then I wouldn't get beaten.''
Mundy was making her second visit to Wyndham after riding a winning treble there at the corresponding meeting four years ago. Jardena is owned in Shane Marr's Riccarton stable by Andrea Todd. Mrs Todd and her husband Jarrod, who is a jockey, moved from Christchurch to Melbourne this year.
Mrs Todd is a former jockey and now rides trackwork for Mornington trainer Stephen Hutchinson.
Jardena's half-brother, Prince Namir, won a maiden 2000m race at New Plymouth on Thursday.
Shane Marr is unsure of plans for Jardena, who has a preference for wet tracks.
''If it rained over Cup Week, she might start (at Riccarton),'' Marr said.
The three-day New Zealand Cup meeting starts at Riccarton on November 6.
''A long-term goal could be the Riverton Cup (in April).''
Marr confirmed a Wyndham Cup start for Jardena after her success in a rating 85 benchmark 2000m at Gore on October 11.
''She improved with the run at Gore and is just thriving.''
The Kashani mare won at the Gore and Wyndham spring meetings 12 months ago"
