News
Royal Ascot winner Carmers is being aimed at an ambitious trip abroad for the Melbourne Cup at the end of the year after a promising success in the Listed His Majesty's Plate on Friday.
The four-year-old, who defeated the likes of Scandinavia and Rahiebb in last year's Queen's Vase, claimed his first success since that Royal Ascot triumph when powering clear of Layfayette to win under Billy Lee, and has ignited dreams of heading to Flemington in November for trainer Paddy Twomey.
Before a potential trip to Australia, however, Carmers is slated for a return trip to Ascot on June 18, where he will take on Scandinavia once more in the Gold Cup, for which he was cut to 20-1 (from 33) by Paddy Power.
