the journey to Flemington on the first Tuesday in November.
Steve O Connor from Go Bloodstock stated ‘Sir Owen is determined as ever for Go Bloodstock to
target the top races in Australia. Having placed in the Melbourne Cup previously with both

WILLOUGHBY as a Cup contender this year and a horse to represent Go Bloodstock at the top level
for many years to come.’
‘We are very excited by DASHING WILLOUGHBY and would like to thank all agents, vets and anyone
who played a role in securing the horse with a special mention to long time friend Paul Moroney
