We are super excited to announce, our lightly raced son of Frankel, Fernao is among the first nominations for this year’s $5mil Caulfield Cup run Oct 18th.
The ultra consistent stayer, imported from Ireland in 2023 has taken massive steps in each of just his 18 career starts rounding out his most recent campaign with a bold placing in the Listed Andrew Ramsden Stakes in May. It was on an unsuitable wet track that day and his run was absolutely massive coming from near last in the massive field.
He showed on that occasion he can run out a strong 2800n so the 2400m Caulfield Cup trip should not be an issue for him and then, hopefully it’s onto the big one on the first Tuesday in November, a couple of weeks later.
Hopefully the track is on the dry side, for him although he showed last time he can get through rain affected going.
Obviously everything has to go right for the big boy between now and the 18th of October but he is in perfect hands trained by Annabel and Rob Archibald, expert conditioners of mid distance and of course staying types.
Best of luck to our ownership group!
