Coming up at SA on Sunday will be the 18th running of the Grade 3 Honeymoon Stakes, which is held for three year old fillies. Over those eighteen years, the race has seen a lot of changes, first being held at HOL as a Grade 2 until 2013. In 2014, the race headed north to SA, still as a Grade 2, but got downgraded in 2019.

No More Rattle Happy to Sprint Again in The Lang Stakes Win
No More Rattle had been successful as a sprinter, winning two of his four races that were sprints, but trainer Bigchief Stables gave in to the temptation to chase the KYD with him. In 2022, he would only run in preps for the race, and was a non factor, other than one fourth place finish.

While we did not pick Stellar Agent in the preview, we cannot feel bad because there were not many people who picked her in the pick ‘em, either. With just 3.8% of those participating choosing her among the five available options, she would go off as the longest shot on the board even with the morning line actually liking her.
