Shaftesbury Avenue (horse)

Shaftesbury Avenue (horse)

Shaftesbury Avenue (by Salieri out of Lady Upstage) was an amazingly versatile Australian racehorse who won Group One races from 1,000 to 2,000 metres, and was placed in the Japan Cup over 2,400 metres. He was a regular rival of Super Impose, and the head-to-head scoreline read four apiece in their eight clashes. Super Impose was too good in the big handicaps, while Shaftesbury Avenue normally prevailed at weight-and-age. Trained by Bart Cummings, the big chestnut gelding won six Group One races, including the Lightning Stakes, the Newmarket Handicap, the All-Aged Stakes, and the Caulfield Stakes, in 1991, but failed to handle Moonee Valley in his three starts at the track, and was 12th in the Cox Plate. Shaftesbury Avenue won 13 of his 28 starts, and tragically broke down at Royal Randwick, in 1994, while being prepared for a return to racing.
