Ed Dunlop's Red Cadeaux skips weekend run

Ed Dunlop has decided to skip an outing at Rosehill this weekend with Red Cadeaux and instead wait for the Sydney Cup.
The globetrotting nine-year-old showed the fire still burns bright when a close fifth over an inadequate 10 furlongs in the Australian Cup at Flemington earlier this month.
Writing in his blog on his website, Dunlop said: "We have decided not to run Red Cadeaux in the BMW Stakes at Rosehill on Saturday, instead preferring to go straight to the Sydney Cup two weeks later.
"It would have been tough to ask a nine-year-old to run in three Group One races in the space of a month and, while he has come out of the Australian Cup in good form, we hope to maximise his chance of success at The Championships by giving him a little extra time before the two-mile showpiece at Randwick."
