No Melbourne Cup for Da Big Hoss
Canadian International next for Da Big Hoss
By Marty McGee LOUISVILLE, Ky. – In the end, the logistics involved in sending Da Big Hoss to Australia for the Nov. 1 Melbourne Cup proved too difficult, but “it sure was exciting” even thinking about participating in one of the world’s most celebrated horse races, said Harvey Diamond, a managing partner in Skychai Racing LLC, the Louisville-based group that owns Da Big Hoss. “The requirements involving vaccinations and quarantine require more long-range planning than we had time for,” said Diamond. “I did get calls from sportscasters in Australia who interviewed me on the radio, so that was pretty fun and all.” Instead, Da Big Hoss will be pointed to the Grade 1, $1 million Canadian International on Oct. 16 at Woodbine in anticipation of running back in the Nov. 5 Breeders’ Cup Turf at Santa Anita, said Diamond.
