Looks like Japan's Melbourne Cup tilt is collapsing. Tokai Trick is the only likely raider. Official dropouts are Jaguar Mail, Meiner Kitz and Meisho Dontaku. Now, racing officials are hoping the Irish St Leger at the Curragh on Sep 11 will mark a green signal day for three of the Melbourne Cup's high-profile internationals. Dermot Weld will start Ascot Gold Cup winner Rite Of Passage and top mare Profound Beauty, while Jeremy Noseda says Sans Frontieres will come to Melbourne if he runs well in
Looks like Japan's Melbourne Cup tilt is collapsing. Tokai Trick is the only likely raider. Official dropouts are Jaguar Mail, Meiner Kitz and Meisho Dontaku. Now, racing officials are hoping the Irish St Leger at the Curragh on Sep 11 will mark a green signal day for three of the Melbourne Cup's high-profile internationals. Dermot Weld will start Ascot Gold Cup winner Rite Of Passage and top mare Profound Beauty, while Jeremy Noseda says Sans Frontieres will come to Melbourne if he runs well in the Grp 1 staying test. The Godolphin stable has more or less confirmed that Holberg will be a spring raider.
