O’Brien made remarks last week about the inconsistent pace of the Melbourne Cup, particularly last year, sparking rumours that he may use one, or both of his other runners Honalulu and Alessandro Volta may be used as pacemakers rather than genuine race contenders.

According to the rules of the race, and every other race in fact, horses must be ridden to give that individual horse, and that horse only, the best possible chance of winning the race,

Septimus too out the Irish St Leger thus stamping its authority as on of the worlds premiere stayers.

Honalulu and Alessandro Volta are no slouches over the two-mile either but neither are anywhere near as fancied as this year’s short priced favourite.

Race officials have viewed previous races in which O’Brien has fielded two or more horses to establish whether or not there may be a pattern developing in his race tactics and if so, how to identify them on the day.

The allegations come amid fears that Australian horses will miss out entirely on the Cup spoils as this year features the strongest field of ‘cup raiders’ (international horses) in the history of the race.

Although some a crying sour grapes over an Irishmen who is in the box seat to take home Australian Sports most coveted prize, contrary tactics and conduct are not view lightly on Australian soil and will be punished accordingly.
