Im happy for the horse and Corey, big effort for a 3yo who has had a long year to beat seasoned old stayers.

Williams puts in enough money to deserve the spoils.

Rekindling a 3YO our time so even more deserved.

Lloyd is frustrating with all the accepting and then scratching of his horses. But he does spend big bucks and I admire his passion for the Melb Cup.

Is REKINDLING the most inexperienced horse to win the Cup??

Only his 10th career start!! I can’t remember any winner in modern times having so few starts.

Foaling date 23/3/14 so that makes him 3 years 7 months, which would be like an Australian bred 3yo born in August  winning the Melbourne Cup in March.

I think- check my maths.Wink

It is a bit boring seeing the same winners every year. But he does invest in stayers, which is something not a lot do anymore. Hard to see an Aussie stayer winning this race anymore apart from the odd POP.

I don't mind Lloyd, as others have said he invests a lot in stayers when most others want Slipper winners

Yes.  Its nice for the horse, trainer and jockey, but geez, the Cup is becoming a bit of a Lloyd Williams benefit show isnt it.
Sure he spends a lot on the horses, but if i had the money he does,  I would too.  And no doubt quite a few of you others would too.
Nice twists to the story.  24 year old with his first runner in the Cup knocks off famous dad.  First 3 year old since Skipton  to win.
But I do get a bit tired of seeing Lloyd taking all the accolades .  I did like it when Bruce said to him,  "only 6 more to equal Bart " . LOL

Yeah. With the types of owners involved in Cup runners these days the money is not really going to change their life, but the thrill of winning the Cup for the first time is fun to watch for the rest of us. With him it does seem like it's just "oh, another one to add to the collection", even though he is very passionate about the race you want others to experience the thrill.

For chrissakes.....what a cranky answer, as if I was holding you personally responsible. I am saying if it is a 3-Y-O by southern time, it should be described as such, when racing in the SH.

It's a 4yo. That's why it was listed as a 4yo. Any foal born on that date in the Southern Hemisphere turned 4 on 1 Aug. I'm a breeding dunce and I know that.

Meant to say I don’t get it. If I don’t have a Cup runner (highly unlikely) then I only really care about the horse I’ve backed. Udyta Clarke stories are lovely but they’re few and far between.

How many trainers in this country are serious about stayers? As opposed to serious about Magic Millions runners. Can’t really begrudge Williams his success.

The best result for the aussie bred stayers inthe Cup was Boom Time - 13th

Although it doesn't meet your "modern times" criteria in the last paragraph, I'm pretty sure Martini Henry won the Cup at his second start to answer your previous question.

What a stunning stunning pedigree.

Hopefully, no matter how slow she is, she gets to the breeding sheds.

Yes, all breeding buffs know this about NH time and SH time , and horses birthdays etc.  BUT.
You can talk S.H. time to N. H. time all you like.  Breeding, foaling, horses birthdays etc, and all that.  But, he was born on 23 March 2014, so he is 3 and wont be 4 , age wise, until next March.  Just because we have this northern/southern thing , it doesnt change his age, technically.
I was 68 last March, and I am not 69 now, and I wont be 69 until March next year, regardless of what hemisphere I was born in.
That N/S stuff is a technicality but the actuality is, the horse is 3 years old in age and body and legs.  Read the book anyway you please but he doesnt become 12 months older in body and mind just because he crossed the equator.
Just as Jospeh O,Brien is 24 and he doesnt become 25 just because he came down under Wink

It wasnt meant to be cranky, but you ask the question of my post, and I told you what I thought.
Maybe it sounded cranky because I get tired of hearing the age old set in stone rule about NH/SH ageing of TBs.  Crossing the equator ages them on paper, but not in body , mind, and legs.  They cant make a horse instantly 12 months older in its physical makeup simply by crossing an imaginary line on the world map.  Its body is still 3 years old.
But thats just my opinion and we all know what they say about opinions Big smile

Agree with all that and didn't mean to come across rude in my post if I had.

Bottom line:
Yes he was born less than 4 years ago.
In Southern Hemisphere racing terms he is a 4yo. He is NOT a 3yo by Southern Hemisphere time.

They should just call them 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5 whatever, which is accurate, and put that in the formguides, racebooks etc.


Posted By: acacia alba
Date Posted: 08 Nov 2017 at 10:00am
Yes in SH time he is 4.  I agree with you there E&E.   A line on a map , once crossed, ages him 12 months in 2 mins, when physically the horse is still 3 , not 4 years of age, and there can be, and is, quite a physical difference in a 3 yo and a 4 yo.
Like a lot of other stupid discrepencies in the world of TBs , this of the their age changing on a piece of paper when they cross the equator should be rectfied.   Because they dont change physically.

Let just say he performed well although he beat the one I backed to win!  Honestly though the worst thing is the similar silks when they are all bays and you forget the caps and can't see the numbers.

There were a lot of like looking silks for sure !
I just think too many of us let a technicality take away what an amazing thing the horse did, because a line on a piece of paper says he is older than he is.
This mentally and physically 3 year year old horse travelled across the world to another totally different environment and style of racing, adapted, took on the world, and won. 
If he was an Aust 3 yo everyone would be in awe but intsead all we do is argue over what the race book says.
Sad really.Cry

I think Williams said in the post race interview that he will have a week or so at his property then back to Europe. Ascot Gold Cup was mentioned I believe.

I think Williams said in the post race interview that he will have a week or so at his property then back to Europe. Ascot Gold Cup was mentioned I believe.

Further to that, he said it was likely he would go back to Ireland but he would be making a final decision next week. US Army Ranger and Johannes Vermeer likely to stay here though

Well it has become a pig in a poke race- far more guesswork and dumb luck involved than when all the runners form was in Australia and recent.

Is REKINDLING the most inexperienced horse to win the Cup??

Only his 10th career start!! I can’t remember any winner in modern times having so few starts.


Nowhere near same league but over 3200m at Echuca today is a 3yo filly having her third start. Missy Zippy

I noticed her going around today in that race. She’s by AMERICAIN


What a stunning stunning pedigree.

Hopefully, no matter how slow she is, she gets to the breeding sheds.



Sorry to go a bit off track but here's your chance to buy her djebel - unreserved so I doubt she will cost you much: https://www.bloodstockauction.com/sales/2017/11/21/catalogue/34#pic1" rel="nofollow - https://www.bloodstockauction.com/sales/2017/11/21/catalogue/34#pic1

Reports are his return to Ireland is deferred and he’ll be running here in Aust over the autumn.

Either Aust Cup or Tancred Stks, followed by the Sydney Cup. Great news !!

Is he going first up into the Tancred ?

Rekindling is having a stamina campaign and than going back to Europe.

It is a matter of which race in Sydney is the target.

LLOYD Williams will target Saturday’s Group 1 Australian Cup with a band of high-class stayers but the Melbourne Cup-winning owner is mulling a more distant and less prestigious objective for his stable stars.

While the Macedon Lodge supremo covets his first Australian Cup victory since Zipping (2010) with Almandin, Taj Mahal and Homesman, Saturday’s week’s Group 2 Blamey Stakes (1600m) is a possible target for Rekindling and Johannes Vermeer.

The Melbourne Cup quinella last spring, Rekindling and Johannes Vermeer have steadily built fitness under trainer Liam Howley.

Chasing a record seventh Cup, Williams said he had yet to decide when to resume with the pair.

“Rekindling, I can’t make my mind,” he said. “Also with Johannes Vermeer.

“Last year and previous years I have given my best prospects a very light autumn or no runs, for example Almandin.

“This year I will nominate them maybe for a race or two, for example the Blamey.”

Williams won the Blamey Stakes in 2012 with Green Moon, the same year the import advanced to Melbourne Cup success.

Depending how 2016 Cup winner Almandin, Zipping Stakes victor Taj Mahal and last start Caulfield winner Homesman fare in the $1.5 million Australian Cup, Williams could send all three north for next month’s Sydney Cup.

I can't see the point of giving stayers one-run campaigns at 1600m. What is the point? They can prepare horses to win first up at 2500m so could easily get Rekindling fit without running him at all. Is the Blamey something Williams particularly wants to win?

What races here in Australia are actually suitable for REKINDLING??

1) Tancred Stakes
2) Sydney Cup
3) ATC St Leger
4) Caulfield Cup
5) Melbourne Cup
6) Sandown Classic

Hard to say. Unlike Almandin a Melbourne Cup repeat is not entirely out of the question, because age improvement may compensate for weight rise. On his overseas form he looks unlikely to win a Caulfield Cup or a BMW. Sydney Cup is the obvious race but won't run- this year anyway. Williams only runs them in the Sydney Cup if he doesn't think they can win MC.

I really like Rekindling to go back to back wins in the Melbourne Cup.

I thought its win was under-rated, if thats even possible.
Spanked a good field in my opinion, and might get better.
Could be a genuine star this one.

And you know Lloyd is obsessed with the Melbourne Cup, so long range forecast.

I sse Rekindling is nominated for the Sydney Cup:

A. Will Rekindling run in the Sydney Cup?

B. What weight would Rekindling get in the Melb Cup?

Just seems a complete and utter waste and would not add a Kilo to the weight he would get next Spring.

So its been comfirmed that Rekindling wont be running at all this Autmn and will now be saved for the spring?

I assume he will get around 55.5kg for the Melbourne Cup? I would of loved to have seen Rekindling run in the BMW at WFA or the Sydney Cup but I assume lloyd doesnt want Rekindling to win anything between now and the Melbourne Cup for fear of getting more weight for the Cup

Not racing her in the autumn might well have switched off her competitive spirit, we will never ever know.

It seems to me that Williams is failing in his duty in not trying to develop a National Hunt stallion by not running in the BMW and Sydney Cup.

I can not see the point in wasting a whole however he does so we have to live with it.

I suspect the one run campaign is just to keep the horse/s ticking over, keep the compatitive nature of their lives up to scratch.

They must simply be displaying his 3yo rating due to the fact he have never run as a 4yo ?

Returning to the UK

2017 Melbourne Cup winner Rekindling will travel to Hong Kong on their way back to O'Brien's stables in Ireland, but he is unsure whether either will start.

Latrobe carries an entry for the Hong Kong Vase (2400m) but Rekindling, who has not been seen for more than 12 months since his Cup success, is not entered in any of the international features for the December 9 meeting at Sha Tin.
