Star three-year-old filly Volpe Veloce won't be seen out again this season, trainer Graham Richardson has confirmed.
A winner of seven of her eight starts, Volpe Veloce won the Gr.3 Eulogy Stakes (1600m) at Awapuni, the Gr.2 Eight Carat Classic (1600m) and Listed Karaka 3YO Mile (1600m), both at Ellerslie, before tasting her first defeat when a gallant fourth in last month's Gr.2 Sir Tristram Fillies Classic (2000m) at Te Rapa.
"I am leaving her out until the spring," Richardson said.
"She'll probably come back and trial at Te Teko in early August and then we'll start making spring plans for her."
