The European gallopers whose arrival into Australia was delayed by flight problems last weekend will now be allowed to race on Caulfield Guineas day, after the federal government granted Racing Victoria’s appeal to allow them out of quarantine on October 13.
Problems had arisen when a large shipment of top-flight Cups contenders were stranded on the tarmac in Sharjah because of a cracked windscreen on their plane, delaying their arrival in Australia by 24 hours until Sunday September 30.
That meant that technically they would not come out of their quarantine at Werribee until Sunday October 14, a day after the Guineas meeting, at which some were set to run as they tried to win their way into the Caulfield and Melbourne Cup fields.
