Anamoe has completed its redemption story, avenging last year's second-placed finish to take out the 2022 Cox Plate<\/a> at the Moonee Valley Racecourse.<\/p>\n

After being beaten by State Of Rest in last year's Cox Plate<\/a>, the James Cummings-trained Anamoe beat out I'm Thunderstruck, El Bodegon and Zaaki to win the $5 million race.<\/p>\n

Jockey James McDonald timed his run to perfection after Zaaki had led for the first half of the race, before Anamoe came home with a wet sail.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"It's a humbling experience for me, but I'm just grateful that I can be a part of a horse as great as Anamoe," he told Seven.<\/p>\n

"The truth is he's just had a gun preparation. A couple of times it hasn't been plain sailing, but my team have come together in phenomenal fashion\ufeff."<\/p>\n

Despite the eventual success, Cummings admitted that there were hiccups along the journey in preparation for the Cox Plate.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"There were moments that would drive a lesser man to the bottle," he said.<\/p>\n

"But he's been managed by an extremely efficient team. I've got some unbelievably talented and passionate people behind him that help to make me look good.\ufeff"<\/p>\n

Anamoe's team launched a protest that was eventually dismissed by Racing Victoria stewards, giving trainer Joseph O'Brien and jockey Johnny Allen a famous win.\ufeff<\/p>\n
