FLIGHT FROM ENGLAND DELIVERS FINAL CONTINGENT OF FIVE

THE final contingent of overseas horses for this year’s Spring Racing Carnival arrived in Melbourne
late this morning.

Although the flight from England was delayed enroute, the five horses travelled well according to
their handlers and they have arrived safely at the Sandown Quarantine Facility.

The five horses include Changingoftheguard and Warringah who have been sold to local interests
and will remain in Australia.

The others are stablemates Mourilyan and Bankable, trained by Herman Brown, and Munsef from
the Ian Williams’ stable.

Mourilyan. Munsef and Warringah will run in the Emirates Melbourne Cup on Tuesday 3 November
while Bankable’s target is the weight-for-age Mackinnon Stakes at Flemington on AAMI Victoria
Derby Day.

It has not yet been decided if Changingoftheguard, who is to be trained by David Hayes, will have a start in a support race during the Melbourne Cup Carnival before being sent to the paddock for a spell.

Warringah, trained in England by Sir Michael Stoute, will join Chris Waller’s stable in Sydney after
the Melbourne Cup.

Mourilyan and Bankable travelled in the care of Hayley Moore, sister of leading English jockey
Ryan Moore.

Dawn Oxley, who has been the constant handler of Munsef since he joined Williams’ stable in
May, will look after the gelding in Melbourne with Williams not arriving until about five days before
the Melbourne Cup.
