Euro Raiders Land in Australia

EURO RAIDERS LAND IN AUSTRALIA 
The first batch of 19 European horses set to participate in the Melbourne Spring Carnival arrived at the International Quarantine Centre at Weribee yesterday. The shipment, which includes Red Cadeaux (GB) (Cadeaux Genereux {GB}), Mutual Regard (Ire) (Hernando {Fr}) and Ambivalent (Ire) (Authorized {Ire}), traveled for approximately 30 hours including stops in Amsterdam, Sharjah and Singapore. 
“The IRT team were very happy with the way all 19 horses traveled and to my eye they’ve stepped off the plane in really nice order,” Leigh Jordan, international recruitment officer of Racing Victoria, told www.rv.racing.com. “The horses will be given some time to settle into their new surroundings at Werribee and I’m looking forward to seeing them hit the track during the week. There’s a great mix of talent that has arrived today and I definitely think we’ve seen horses that can fight out the finish of the Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate and Melbourne Cup.” 
A final shipment of European horses, including Adelaide (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Cavalryman (GB) (Halling), is due to arrive in Melbourne Oct. 11.
