Racing Strategy of the Longshot from the UK at Melbourne Cup Causes Concern for Race Officials
The Racing Post Previews Meydaan's Challenging Bid for the Lexus Melbourne Cup
Meydaan, a four-year-old son of the legendary Frankel, is gearing up for a daring attempt at the Lexus Melbourne Cup on November 4. Trained by Michael Moroney, the horse is currently best-priced at 100-1 with bet365.
In quarantine with a view to flying on September 27, Meydaan has been assigned a weight of 54kg (8st 7lb), placing him at number 24 on the list for the A$10 million (£4.86m/€5.59m) Group 1 race.
The horse's trainer, Michael Moroney, is no stranger to the high-stakes world of horse racing. Meydaan, however, is considered one of the most aggressive betting risks in the history of the Lexus Melbourne Cup.
David Hegan, the race's handicapper, has expressed concern that Meydaan might be wrong at the weights. In fact, Hegan picked out Meydaan as the horse he is most scared is wrong at the weights. Ed Crisford jnr believes that David Hegan has every right to be worried about Meydaan's potential performance.
