It seems the 2010 Melbourne Cup field is drawing yet another international contender in the form of Sans Frontieres after a good run in form.
Sans Frontieres is now looking to finish the year with a jump in the 2010 Melbourne Cup scheduled as Flemington race 7 on the 2nd of July.
Owned by Sir Robert Ogden, the colt crossed the line first showcasing his traditional pink and mauve silks to win the Group 2 Princess Of Wales’s Stakes (2,414m) at Newmarket last week.
The four-year-old beat a classy field and finished ahead of Redwood to claim the glory, and managed to live up to expectations he has not been able to fulfil since he was just a youngster.
Trained by former jockey Jeremy Noseda, who finished second in the 2006 Dubai World Cup, Sans Frontieres is now looking to finish the year with a jump in the 2010 Melbourne Cup scheduled as Flemington race 7 on the 2nd of July.
Looking to run in the Group One Irish St.Leger (2,816m) on the 11th of September first, the 150th Melbourne Cup would present a perfect target for the son of Galileo to aspire to.
With some previous Melbourne Cup winners going down in history as the best stayers in the game, Sans Frontieres certainly has the right bloodline to win internationally acclaimed races, with his father siring at least 11 Group One winners.
Another favourite to claim the 2010 Melbourne Cup winnings is Linton, and the three-year-old is another Galileo offspring heading to the event as a favourite.
Having won the Group Two Alister Clark Stakes (1600m) earlier in the year, the Robert Hickmott-trained contender may have to fight off his half-brother for the title.
