Sam Spratt: Mufhasa redemption

Sent off 14-5 favourite on Saturday, Mufhasa scored by three-quarters of a length over Fleur De Lune.
"He was like a rocket out of the gates today and I could see Sam had a plenty in hand," said McKee, speaking to sportal.co.nz. "I thought we were doing well with three Group 1s!"
Spratt was relieved to score on Mufhasa, having dropped her whip three weeks previously when the partnership was fourth to Cox Plate hope Ocean Park in the Makfi Challenge.
