Rosie Jilla Reflects On Group 1 Breakthrough For Icebath & Widdup

Brad Widdup is Hawkesbury's leading trainer. His horse Icebath won her first Group 1 race at Flemington on October 29. Rosie Jilla is happy for her. She is proud of the stable's achievements. Ice bath is a consistent and reliable horse. She had a bad moment in The Invitation and had to be stopped by champion jockey Craig Williams. He had no choice but to dismount and walk back to the mounting yard.

2022 Empire Rose Stakes race replay – Icebath (1st) won. Widdup sent his star mare back to Hawkesbury after her ninth place in the $2 million Invitation. He was disappointed with what happened in The Invitations.

Jilla has been riding Icebath since she was a yearling. She has a good relationship with her and knows her well. Jilla and Brad have been working together since day one. Brad's horses are well-handled and relaxed. They enjoyed 63 wins last season. Ice bath has $5.2 million in prizemoney to her name. They are going to follow the same path as the past two years. The Doncaster Mile is where they finished third this year and second last year.
