Re: Winx and Cox Plate nominations so far
None of those European horses are G1 standard by UK/Irish standard, really. Winx should be mopping up again.

7 Ballydoyle residents heading down under
US Navy Flag & Somerset Maugham have already been quarantine for some time ready for their planed trips to Australia but news broke this morning that they will be followed by a further five Ballydoyle residents, led by dual Group 1 placegetter and 2017 Epsom Derby runner-up Cliffs Of Moher, they have commenced quarantine in Ireland at the private facility on the grounds of Ballydoyle they will all spend the next fortnight in their temporary homes, before boarding a flight to Melbourne which is due to touch down on Saturday, 29 September.
Cliffs Of Moher will have company in the form of his stablemate Yucatan, who holds Caulfield and Melbourne Cup entries, plus fellow Ballydoyle residents Fleet Review, Spirit of Valor and Intelligence Cross, who will all target sprint races across the Spring Racing Carnival.

Re: Winx and Cox Plate nominations so far
Good to see Ballydoyle sending plenty of horses over to Australia but do they really expect to win races with this bunch. Fully expect Cliffs Of Moher to do well but don't have much faith in the others. Would love to hear your views?

Re: Winx and Cox Plate nominations so far
Lloyd Williams confirms that he has purchased 50 per cent Cliffs Of Moher and 100 per cent of stablemate Yucatan.
officially unconfirmed but highly likely that Idaho, Rostropovich, and The Pentagon are now part owned or fully owned by Lloyd Williams & Family
