Ron Arculli's globetrotting 9-year-old gelding Red Cadeaux (GB) (Cadeaux Genereux {GB}) will head to Australia for a potential three-race campaign, therefore bypassing the Dubai World Cup card Mar. 28.
Red Cadeaux is no stranger to Australia, having run in the last four Melbourne Cups and having finished second in 2011, 2013 and 2014, and he has been entered for the G1 Australian Cup Mar. 14 at Flemington, home of the Melbourne Cup, where he expected to face his most recent Melbourne Cup conqueror Protectionist (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}). Trainer Ed Dunlop has noted that the chestnut could head to Sydney for the G1 The BMW Mar. 28, with a possible finale at The Championships in either the G1 Queen Elizabeth S. or the G1 Sydney Cup. Dunlop stressed, however, that Red Cadeaux's Australian campaign would be taken one race at a time.
Red Cadeaux is currently in quarantine at Longstones Stud in Kentford, England.
