Today Racing Victoria’s chief handicapper Greg Carpenter announced the handicaps for the Caulfield Cup 2014, one of the big winners weight wise looking to be Roger James’s smart Kiwi mare Silent Achiever with 54.5kg.
Melbourne Cup bound this spring, connections of the four-time Group 1 winning daughter of O’Reilly could now be very tempted to use the $3 million Group 1 Crown Golden Ale Caulfield Cup (2400m) as a stepping stone to the world’s richest handicap.
Run on October 18 at Caulfield Racecourse, this year’s Caulfield Cup attracted a bumper 222 nominations including a record 44 internationals.
That gave Carpenter a tough assignment when allocating the Caulfield Cup weights, led this year by the William Haggas-trained Mukhadram with 58kg as the highest internationally rated horse, especially based on the strength and depth of the entries.
“It’s one of the most competitive renewals of the race I’ve seen,” Carpenter told TVN.
“I’ve set the puzzle….now everyone has to assess the weights and work out what they have to do and what they have to win to get in.”
Carpenter looks to have done Silent Achiever a favour with her 54.5kg allocation, the same weight she carried last year after an original handicap of 52.5kg was raised to be beaten only two and a half lengths by Fawkner when eighth.
Since then however she proved the star of the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival going back-to-back at Rosehill to beat Carlton House in the Ranvet Stakes and It’s A Dundeel in The BMW.
Pre-weight allocations Silent Achiever paid $21 to win the Caulfield Cup at Ladbrokes.com.au, a price sure to firm this afternoon.
Carpenter said the 54.5kg was the same weight Mannerism carried to victory back in 1992 with the only mare to win with more being Tranquil Star back in 1942 with 56kg.
As mentioned above this year’s Caulfield Cup weights are led by British raider Mukhadram with 58kg, the Shamardal stallion having won the Group 1 Coral Eclipse Stakes (2000m) two back in July.
He, along with the second heaviest weighted hope Dan Excel (57kg) for expat Aussie trainer John Moore in Hong Kong, however are far from confirmed to make the trip down under.
If that’s the case then the Caulfield Cup weights will be raised two kilos to bring Japan’s Admire Rakti, allocated 56kg, up to the minimum top weight of 58kg.
Also in the picture for the $6.2 million Group 1 Emirates Melbourne Cup (3200m) on November 4, Heart’s Cry seven-year-old Admire Rakti is one horse Carpenter warns not to write off.
“Anyone that thinks he is not without a winning chance need to drill right down to his form,” Carpenter said.
That form includes a very nice fourth when beaten just over a length by Gentildonna in the Group 1 Japan Cup (2413m) last November, as well as a first-up second behind a genuine champion in Gold Ship this March in the Grade 2 Hanshin Daishoten Stakes (2614m).
“He has similar and interesting form line to (2006 Melbourne Cup winner) Delta Blues,” Carpenter added.
“It’s a challenge for him,” Carpenter said of Fawkner’s bid at a successive Caulfield Cup trophy in 2014.
“We’ve only seen him sparingly since last year.
“It’s a test for him to defend his crown this year.”
