Bart Cummings: Melbourne Cup a 'spot the Aussie' contest |
|
The winning-most trainer in Melbourne Cup history reckons there are too many foreigners invading Australia's biggest horserace. The eleven-time winning trainer does not like the look of the nine-strong international raiding party and he has called for a limit to the foreign challengers. Cummings has dubbed the long-distance marathon a "spot The Aussie" contest and maybe the unsporting Cummings reckons that is exactly what it will be when the leaders pass the winning post in this year's Melbourne Cup - spot the Aussie. It seems that Cummings is fearing they will only be spotted in positions ten and worse! When the chief international challenger, trainer Aidan O'Brien, was told of Bart Cummings unsporting comments the Irishman said: "the world is shrinking fast. It is a smaller place and competition can only be good for horseracing." |
