Melbourne Spring Carnival Thread

I hope Ethiopia is okay - he was pulled up a long way from home.

I heard a rumor he busted a tendon.

[Peter Gleason]

Green Moon got out to a ridiculous price considering he was favorite for the Cox Plate two weeks ago. I thought he might have been a distance doubt, and if it were a fast run cup things might have been different.

I hope he goes to stud here; will be a nice alternative to the usual sprint orientated stuff.

unsatisfactory result the hold up horses had no chance(including red cadeaux)

[Peter Gleason]

Ok so I'm thinking:

Silent Achiever
Lost in the moment
Buffering

and someone random in the Emirates; like a Happy Trails or something

[Peter Gleason]

No post Black Caviar's race posts?

Special's 5f record was around since before I was born? Huge

People will probably bag the field but I doubt there would be many horses around better than Moment in Time

[Mary Whalen]

I was most upset that I had to watch it on replay. But even with the field track record can't deny that it was a special win. Plus she's the only horse on my wall so she's pretty special to me! I anxiously await for when her next start will be announced.

[Laura Cameron]

I'm just annoyed that I didn't get to go. I had plans, then got called into work

Pretty crazy that she broke Special's track record - she looked like she was taking it easy.

[Peter Gleason]

PDL is quite the exciting one. Definitely shouldn't have been able to win that (or half win, as it were)

[Melissa Mae]

We're already planning our Black Caviar party for Friday night. I can't wait!

[John Nicholson]

hi peter thought you would like to know red cadeaux flew to dubai saturday 16th as he has been given an invite to run in the dubai world cup,a tall order but with luck might pick up some more prizemoney.

[Peter Gleason]

Good luck mate! I'll be cheering him on

Aus has some other interest in the Dubai races with Mental and Ocean Park surely close to favourites in their races. I suppose I wouldn't be totally surprised if Ocean Park won, but he wouldn't be my #1 pick in that race

Think I read that Black Caviar is probably going back to England too

[John Nicholson]

i hope she does come back peter as i dont think we seen her at her best last year and i also read that she might visit frankel

[John Nicholson]

WOW what a run by red cadeaux he seems to be getting better with age

[Peter Gleason]

Huge result! Would have been a nice payday...

What are the plans for him now? Melbourne Cup again?

[John Nicholson]

yes peter might have been a bit closer if he didnt get blocked turning into the straight just as animal kingdom kicked for home but my brother isnt too dissapointed with 2nd ( £1.2 million ) and the immediate plan is to go straight on to either japan or hong kong in a couple of weeks time then all being well yes the same races as last year
