Melbourne Cup

Postby K~2 » Sun Aug 02, 2009 9:42 am

So once again this year I find myself following this race again! Go Profound Beauty!

Anyways, I was just reading an article that said that Court Vision has been nominated to the race.

How have American horses faired at the MC?

2006 Jap horses finished 1, 2 in Mel Cup but then the country's runners have been banned since for quarantine reason.

European horses frequent the race often..together with Arab and HK horses..Singapore ever sent at least once.

Think if my info correct..no american trained runner has ever involved in Mel Cup.
