EMIRATES Melbourne Cup winner Prince Of Penzance returned to the racetrack at Morphettville on Saturday, running second in the Group 3 Lee Stakes over 1600 metres.

In what will be his only run before the spring, Prince Of Penzance, with Michelle Payne on board, charged from wide out to fail by just a half-length to peg back his stablemate, the Rock Hard Ten gelding Tonopah.
