Melbourne Cup: Fiorente In Action

August 15th, 2013 by Pom de Turf

Last year’s Melbourne Cup runner-up, Fiorente, has been in action in an exhibition run-out, finishing second behind Carlton House over 2400m. Gai Waterhouse, who trains them, was happy with both horses, but it was Carlton House that came home the quicker, pulling away in the late stages: ‘it just goes to show that these Europeans can improve significantly into their second preparations.’

Carlton House is currently at $41.00 for the Melbourne Cup in November, where Fiorente is sitting second-favourite at $11.00 (here are more Melbourne Cup 2013 odds if you need them…). Waterhouse was pleased with his run out: ‘I’m over the moon with him. He’s a serious horse that just dwelt a tad when they jumped today. But that didn’t stop him producing a lovely trial and he’s doing everything we’re asking of him.’
