Sorry, not this time...Michael Rodd has had to turn down the ride on Cox Plate winner So You Think when the 4YO returns to racing in the Liston next Saturday. Rodd is required for last year's Melbourne Cup winner Shocking or lightly-raced stablemate Shamoline Warrior, who also return in the Liston. Blake Shinn, who has ridden So You Think in two 800m jumpout trials at Flemington over the past seven days, is not available as he will be riding in Sydney.
The 3 placegetters in Japan's #1 staying race, the 3200m Tenno Sho, may run in the Melbourne Cup following a late nomination for promising stayer Meisho Dontaku. Connections of the horse, who ran third behind Jaguar Mail and Meiner Kitz in the Tenno Sho last May, paid a $3300 late-entry fee after missing Tuesday's deadline. He was also paid up for the Caulfield Cup on October 16.
