When Parchment Won the August 6 Birdstone Stakes, a 1 3/4-Mile Race Unpaved Race Saratoga Race CourseA plan to tackle one of the most celebrated races in the world, the Melbourne Cup of Australia (G1), was mainly in the heads of the owners of the Colt, Jim and Dana Bernhard van Pin Oak Stud.
In the quotes after the media department of the New York Racing Association, Dana Bernhard said: “It’s our plan – go to the Melbourne Cup, Quarantine in England, then go to Australia for quarantine and see how he does that.”
Two days after the Constitution Colt’s victory in the listed Birdstone, the goal was still pursued, according to the son of the Bernhards, Ben, vice president of Pin Oak Stud.
Dumbler party earned an automatic berth for the AU $ 10 million (US $ 6.5 million) Melbourne Cup, a grass race on Flemington Racecourse, with his victory of 8 1/2 length in the Saratogas 6 June Belmont Gold Cup (G3), a 1 3/4-meijlijl. If the 4-year-old 4-year-old trained by Bill Mott makes the journey under the parchment festival, Dumbledore will be the first horse-trained horse that participates in the legendary race, which will be disputed for the 165th time November 4. The 3,200 meters (about two miles) Melbourne Cup is usually called the ‘race that a nation stops’.
Parchment party is 0-2 on the peat, but there is no doubt about his tendency to marathon races.
“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We don’t buy or breed horses with the intention of getting one that likes to run two miles,” Ben Bernhard told Bloodhorse to 8 August. “But I think the parchment party would like to run for two miles. So that’s nice to have that.
“If there was a degree 1 that went two miles on the dirt in the US at the same time (if the Melbourne Cup), then we would have more a decision to make, I think. But there are not really such races.”
Parchment party and its connections after winning the Birdstone Stakes
Ben Bernhard said that MOTT will supervise the management and details of the Dumbler Party’s participation at the Melbourne Cup, while Jo Robinson, a trainer at Pin Oak Stud in Versailles, KY., The on-site will be person who supervises the two required quarantine and training in the lead.
The hoops are considerable for horses located outside of Australia to run in the Melbourne Cup. Firstly, parchment party will have to undergo veterinary exams later this summer in the United States before they get the green light to travel to Newmarket, England, where he is placed in quarantine for two weeks. He can train during that time. Then the Colt would travel to Melbourne for extra quarantine and more mandatory veterinary inspections.
All international runners in the Melbourne Cup must undergo computer tomographic scans to compete in the race. Last year Jan Brueghel, trained by Aidan O’Brien in the days prior to the leadership of the Melbourne Cup, was revealed after a CT scan the winner of 2024 St. Army Stakes (G1) revealed “with an increased risk of injury.”
In a change in this year’s wallet, the Melbourne Cup received an AU $ 1.3 million wallet. The changes mainly benefit the connections of the runners that end between the 13th and finally between what is usually a 24-horse field with an AU $ 100,000 payment.
The pin oak numbers owned Beater Winner of the Saratoga Derby Invitational Stakes (G1T) of 2 August for coach Riley Mott, Bill’s son, qualified for Australia’s Cox Plate (G1) with his victory in that peat race. Ben Bernhard, however, said it was unlikely that the 3-year-old son of Oscar -Performance Would make the journey because of opportunities that are closer to home.
