The Melbourne Cup weights released last week resulted in a hardening of the price of Luca Cumani’s favourite Mount Athos.
However there still appears to be some 25-1 floating about near the name of Galileo’s Choice and Dermot Weld’s horse looks to tick a lot of the appropriate boxes for the race that stops a nation, not least of which is Weld’s name next to it.
The trainer learned before anyone that the last thing you need for Flemington is a dour-staying plodder. A Group 3 winner at both ten and twelve furlongs, Galileo’s Choice also goes on any kind of ground.
It’s a long way away, but you never know. A hat-trick might be in the offing come November.
