Cadeaux’ to Target Sydney Cup

Trainer Ed Dunlop has decided to skip an outing in the G1 BMW S. at Rosehill this weekend with two-time G1 Melbourne Cup runner-up Red Cadeaux (GB) (Cadeaux Genereux {GB}) and instead wait for the G1 Sydney Cup at Randwick Apr. 11. The globetrotting 9-year-old showed the fire still burns bright when a close fifth over an inadequate 10 furlongs in the 
G1 Australian Cup at Flemington earlier this month. 

Dunlop, wrote on his website Tuesday, “We have decided not to run Red Cadeaux in the BMW S. at Rosehill Saturday, instead preferring to go straight to the Sydney Cup two weeks later. It would have been tough to ask a 9-year-old to run in three Group 1 races in the space of a month and, while he has come out of the Australian Cup in good form, we hope to maximize his chance of success at The Championships by giving him a little extra time before the two-mile showpiece at Randwick.”
