Trainer Simon Miller prepares Amelia’s Jewel for a race named in honour of his hero

Simon Miller's horse Amelia's Jewel is preparing for the inaugural $1.5 Northerly Stakes (1800m) on Saturday. Miller fell in love with the late champion Northere in the early 2000s. He watched his epic victory over Sunline and Viscount in 2001 Cox Plate at his Victorian home. A year later he was at Avoca Shire races in regional Victoria and saw Nortere win the Caulfield Cup. Last year Miller trained Dance Music to win another Ascot race, the Norterly. He is excited about measuring Amelia’s Jewel up against the favourite Cascadian.
