New Zealander Wall Street will return to Australia in the autumn to contest weight-for-age races in Sydney.

Trainer Jeff Lynds said the winner of Saturday's Emirates Stakes at Flemington would also be aimed at the 2011 Cox Plate in the spring.

"That was his last handicap race," a happy Lynds told NZPA after Wall Street wound up a great carnival for New Zealand in Melbourne.

Lynds said Wall Street would head home for a month's spell before having a light autumn program that would include a visit to Sydney.

Wall Street's win followed that of the Murray and Bjorn Baker-trained Lion Tamer in the $A1.5 million Victoria Derby a week earlier, while New Zealand-bred So You Think won the Cox Plate and finished third in Tuesday's Melbourne Cup and a trio of NZ-breds in Descarado, Harris Tweed and Monaco Consul provided the trifecta in the Caulfield Cup.

Wall Street, New Zealand's best current weight-for-age horse, had won the Group One Spring Classic at Hastings on October 2 before heading to Melbourne and finishing seventh in the $A3 million Cox Plate.

In the Emirates, he showed courage in sprinting from beyond midfield to take the lead inside the last 100 metres and hold out Dao Dao by a short half-head.

"It was a good tough performance," Lynds said.

"We were quite advantaged in some ways - he had won three Group One races, but we got in with 55.5 kilograms.

"They just seemed to discount New Zealand form."

Lynds said he would map out a program with the owners, but races at the Auckland carnival in March were a possibility before heading to Sydney.

The Montjeu gelding ran 11th in the $A1 million Doncaster Handicap in April and was not fully comfortable with the switch from left-handed tracks.

"We want him to run right-handed again, because he is not conversant with that yet," Lynds said.

"Hopefully we can get him right on that."

The Cox Plate would be the main target again. "That's the pinnacle of weight-for-age races," he said.

The Emirates win capped a great week for Sydney jockey Hugh Bowman after he piloted Lion Tamer to victory in the Derby, the only jockey to win two Group Ones over the four-day Flemington carnival.

Bowman, who won last year's AJC Australian Oaks on kiwi mare Daffodil, said his win on Lion Tamer probably helped him get the ride.

"I was really pleased when I picked up the ride during the week and there's no doubt my success on Saturday winning the Derby might have had something to do with it," he said.
