Pat Carey will focus on the Melbourne spring carnival after emerging stayer Cedarberg caused another upset at the Sydney Carnival to win the Group One BMW on Saturday.

Cedarberg was sent out a $26 chance in the $2.25 million 2400-metre weight-for-age feature at Rosehill but overshadowed some of the country's best-credentialled stayers to sweep home along the inside and defeat Mourayan by 1-1/4-lengths.

Linton came in a neck behind his stablemate Mourayan in third place, while favourites Descarado ($3.10) and Maluckyday ($3.40) were never in the hunt, finishing sixth and seventh respectively.

It was the second Group One upset of the day following Mirjulisa Lass' Vinery Stud Stakes (2000m) win as a $51 chance.

Carey narrowly missed winning the Mornington Cup on his home track with Cedarberg in February which would have carried ballot exemption into this year's Caulfield Cup, but he doesn't have to worry now.

"This will do the same job and it's worth 10 times more," Carey said.

"This horse was around the money with some very good horses last spring, including Linton and Precedence, and for a lightly-raced horse he's kept making good progress."

Cedarberg, who carried 58.5kg at weight-for-age, has just 51kg in the Sydney Cup (3200m) but Carey hasn't committed to going there as he has his sights on the Cups races in the spring.

"He's done his job," Carey said.

Ridden by Damien Oliver, Cedarberg sat back in the field and Oliver cut the corner as runners went wide looking for better ground.

Mourayan held a good lead into the straight but Cedarberg raced through closest to the fence to give Carey his second Group One win.

Mourayan was brave in defeat and depending on how he pulls up will line up in the Chairman's Handicap (2600m) next week before the Sydney Cup, while Linton is heading for a spell.

Mourayan is set to be joined by stablemates Muir and C'Est La Guerre in the Sydney Cup.

Melbourne Cup runner-up Maluckyday drifted from $2.80 to $3.40 and was under the whip well before the turn and finished almost five lengths off the winner.

Jockey Jim Cassidy said the Melbourne Cup campaign in the spring "might have gutted him".
