Racing Odds: A Guest Of Honour At The Melbourne Spring
October 3rd, 2014 by Pom de TurfTalented Irish entire Guest of Honour has already arrived on Australian shores for his 2014 Melbourne Spring Season campaign, and he’s going to be well worth keeping an eye out for in those Racing odds we’ve got for you at the end of the link there…
With a couple of wins from two starts this year, Guest of Honour comes into the 2014 Melbourne Spring with some real form behind him, and every possibility of making a name for himself on the biggest stage. Neither of those wins were in Group 1s, it has to be said, and both of them were over in the UK, but Guest of Honour comes to Australia with a little bit of buzz about him nonetheless, and he’s likely to make a try for the Cox Plate if he can secure a place in that race. According to Guest of Honour’s co-owner Darren Dance: ‘we are still hopeful. He goes into quarantine on the first shipment and all being well he will go into the Toorak at Caulfield as his first Australian start. He will be running against Dan Excel in that race I suspect and we will get a pretty good guide for the Cox Plate out of that. If he can run top three and be impressive we will know that he will have improvement for the Cox Plate. You just can’t say I want to run in the Cox Plate because you actually have to get invited, so we would like to be there and hopefully our rating is high enough and we run well enough in the Toorak to get a run in the Cox Plate because that is what we bought the horse to achieve.’
So keep your eyes on the Racing odds for Guest of Honour, a rising Irish import who could be adding a little bit of lustre to the Melbourne Spring – and his own career, too – in the 2014 Festival!
