A
25% share in Caulfield and Melbourne Cup contender Mustajeer - a recent winner
of the prestigious Ebor Handicap in the UK - will be offered through Inglis
Digital's Online Sale platform next Tuesday and Wednesday.
The exciting import, who arrived at Werribee last week, has been transferred to
trainer Kris Lees in Australia and will race in the Australian Bloodstock
colours.
Mustajeer, who is a G1 placegetter in Europe behind the champion Magical in
this year's Tattersalls Gold Cup and split leading European stayers Master of
Reality and Southern France in the Vintage Crop Stakes in April, is currently
rated $15 with TAB Fixed Odds for the Caulfield Cup and $18 for the Melbourne
Cup.
Champion jockey Damien Oliver has been booked for the Caulfield Cup ride, for
which the horse has been appointed 55.5kg.
Mustajeer (Medician) is a winner of four of his 19 starts and raced into Cups
calculations with his impressive victory in the Ebor at York on August 24, when
trained by leading Irish trainer Ger Lyons.
The Ebor Handicap has been a key lead up race for Caulfield and Melbourne Cup
raiders, with four of the past five Ebor winners lining up on the first Tuesday
in November.
Ebor winners that to have performed well in either the Cups during the past
decade include Purple Moon (2ndin 2007 Melbourne Cup), All Too
Good (1stin 2008 Caulfield Cup), Heartbreak City (2ndin
2016 Melbourne Cup) and Nakeeta (5thin 2017 Melbourne Cup).
This year's Caulfield Cup is worth a record $5m while the Melbourne Cup
prizemoney has been boosted again to $8m.
Mustajeer will be offered on behalf of Gaelic Bloodstock.
Mustajeer's new trainer Kris Lees said it was a great thrill to be training the
world-class galloper, who has settled in very well since arriving at Werribee.
"He's a lovely looking horse that seems quite adaptable in his racing style,
whether it's forward or back, plus he's performed on firm ground which he found
in the Ebor and he beat home Prince of Arran who performed very well here
previously, so I think he meets all the credentials,'' Lees said.
"This is a fantastic opportunity to buy a share in a horse that's about to race
in the Caulfield and highly likely to progress into the Melbourne Cup."
"He'll go to Caulfield for a gallop probably the Tuesday before the Caulfield
Cup, he'll be stabled there that week to give him the best chance to
familiarise himself with the surroundings and he'll have a gallop there with
Damien Oliver aboard.''
Inglis Digital Business Manager Nick Melmeth said the sale was a coup for
Online Auction platform.
"It's also a great chance for someone to buy into a horse with Mustajeer's
profile – who is not only qualified for the Caulfield and Melbourne Cup – but
is a live chance in both races,'' Melmeth said.
Bidding on the 25% Mustajeer share will open 9am (AEDT) Tuesday, October 8 with
Final Countdown commencing at 5pm (AEDT) Wednesday, October 9.
Terms and Conditions will be available on the listing.
