Group One performer Ever Loyal will return to Ellerslie for his next outing.
“He’ll head to the three-year-old race over 1500m on January 14 before the Karaka 3YO Classic,” trainer Tony Pike said.
Placed in the Gr.1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m), Ever Loyal raced greenly when runner-up at Ellerslie on Boxing Day.
“He’s still a work in progress,” Pike said. “He’s a very, very talented galloper and there’s improvement to come.”
