LAST autumn’s Cinderalla story, Mystic Journey, the A$11,000 Magic Millions Tasmanian Yearling Sale buy who captured the public’s imagination, with wins in the Group 1 Australian Guineas and $5 million All Star Mile, returned to the winners’ stall at her racetrack return at Caulfield on Saturday.

Trained in Tasmania by 53-year-old Adam Trinder, a former jumps jockey whose grandfather Ray owned the 1972 Melbourne Cup winner Piping Lane, Mystic Journey is charting a course straight to the top, with the Cox Plate her primary target.
