The horse racing world is keenly awaiting the release of weights for Melbourne’s major spring Cups, including the team behind last year’s Melbourne Cup winner, Gold Trip.
Expected to carry more than his previous 57.5kg, the team is evaluating options for the season.
Although the Caulfield Cup was initially on the radar, the Cox Plate is now also being considered.
Track conditions, especially their hardness, are a concern, and the upcoming Turnbull Stakes will provide valuable insights.
Gold Trip recently finished fourth at Moonee Valley while carrying 62kg, indicating he’s in good form.
With the weights announcement around the corner, choices for Gold Trip’s season could extend beyond Melbourne, including potential races in Hong Kong and Dubai.
