Just four weeks after winning the Listed Derby (1,800m) at the same track to record his first Black-Type success, the five-year-old son of Kermadec sprinted hard for jockey Chin Chuen Wong to run down King Arthur, with Golden Monkey finishing well for third in the feature race.
Bred by world-class breeders the Taylor family of Trelawney Stud, Lim's Kosciuszko is the first foal out of Keeper mare Jacquetta, winner of the Listed Welcome Stakes, as well as a G2 placegetter. Prepared by former Australian trainer Dan Meagher, Lim’s Kosciuszko took his impressive record to 10 wins and two placings from just 13 starts and gave Kermadec his tenth Stakes race success.
