font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;\">Former Perth mare <strong>Sheidel<\/strong> (Holy Roman\u00a0Emperor x Laventour) who was born and raised at Amarina,\u00a0had to survive a protest at Caulfield to land her first win in Melbourne for new owners.<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;\">After two luckless runs at Moonee Valley and Sandown where the daughter of Holy Roman Emperor bungled the start, Sheidel jumped away much better in Saturday&#8217;s Listed Bel Esprit Stakes.<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;\">Sent out the $4 favourite, Sheidel was able to race closer under Damien Oliver and after hitting the lead early in the straight held off Girl Guide ($21) by a half-head with Under The Louvre ($6.50) a long head away third.<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;\">Dean Yendall, rider of the runner-up, fired in a protest against the winner after his mount was struck over the head with Oliver&#8217;s whip inside the 50m.<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;\">Yendall claimed the incident cost his mount three quarters of a length, however stewards weren&#8217;t comfortable the incident had cost Girl Guide the race.<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;\">Chief steward Terry Bailey said Oliver didn&#8217;t change his whip action in accidentally striking Girl Guide.<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;\">Sheidel is now Adelaide bound for the Group One Sangster Stakes at Morphettville on May 7 where she will join stablemate Miss Promiscuity.<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;\">Both mares are owned by Rob Crabtree and depending on their performances could head to The Goodwood at the same track two weeks later.<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;\">Lindsay Park co-trainer Tom Dabernig said the crossover noseband and the tongue tie were taken off Sheidel.<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;\">&#8220;We thought she was resenting it a bit and costing her at the start, but today she jumped and put herself right there, but almost over travelling,&#8221; Dabernig said.<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;\">The Lindsay Park stable gained extra confidence with Oliver chasing the ride.<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;\">&#8220;With our guys if they do the work and ride the trials we use them, but we&#8217;re always happy to use Damien when we can,&#8221; Dabernig said. &#8211;<em><strong>AAP<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><em><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Perth mare Sheidel (Holy Roman Emperor x Laventour) had to survive a protest at Caulfield to land her first win in Melbourne for new owners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16635,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"http:\/\/amarinafarm.com.au\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Sheidel-red-cap.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/amarinafarm.com.au\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16634"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/amarinafarm.com.au\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/amarinafarm.com.au\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/amarinafarm.com.au\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/amarinafarm.com.au\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16634"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/amarinafarm.com.au\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16634\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16639,"href":"http:\/\/amarinafarm.com.au\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16634\/revisions\/16639"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/amarinafarm.com.au\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16635"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/amarinafarm.com.au\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/amarinafarm.com.au\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/amarinafarm.com.au\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
