Melbourne Spring Racing Odds: Red Cadeaux And Dandino Enter Quarantine
September 17th, 2014 by Pom de TurfAnother date ticked off the calendar as the excitement builds towards the big races of the 2014 Melbourne Spring: a first crop of raiders from Europe has entered quarantine at Newmarket, ready for their trip down to Australia and the Spring Festival. The horses taking the limelight are Red Cadeaux and Dandino, and we’ve got all the Racing odds for both waiting for you if you click the link…
This is just the first group of exciting horses from overseas who will be very much a part of the Melbourne Spring – and there are some big names in the group. Racing Victoria’s International Recruitment Officer Leigh Jordan spoke to the press this week: ‘there’s a great mix of European horses starting quarantine en route to Melbourne and we’re most pleased to have Red Cadeaux lining up for his fourth straight Spring Racing Carnival. Likewise, we’re excited to welcome back Dandino and Side Glance, who both acquitted themselves so well last year, and highly rated new talent like Ambivalent, Mutual Regard and Protectionist.’
Red Cadeaux is a familiar horse for Melbourne Cup punters – two times a runner up, in 2011 and in last year’s race, trainer Ed Dunlop will be hoping that this is his year. He was well beaten in his last run, mind you, though Dunlop doesn’t seem too worried by that result: ‘there is no denying it was a disappointing run last time at Kempton but Gerald Mosse reported he was happy enough with the horse, it just turned out to be a three-furlong sprint. It gives us options by going into quarantine early. With regards to the Caulfield Cup we’ll wait and see what the weather does and the ground. I’d have reservations of running on him very quick ground.’
And Dandino will be familiar, too, after he ran second in last year’s Caulfield Cup. Both horses are going to have plenty of time to settle in when they get to Australia, and it’s safe to say you need to keep an eye on both of them when you’re looking over the Racing odds we’ve got for you…
