Pentane is trained by former jockey Lance O'Sullivan, who came second in a Melbourne Cup but never won it. A son of Pentire, he has won seven of his 14 starts and is the only horse to have beaten Xcellent on NZ soil (admittedly in a trial, but did it easily).
Pentane won the Auckland Cup this year, and started his Melbourne Cup campaign by beating a pretty strong field in a listed race over what was thought to be the too short distance of a mile. Went a shocker last start but apparently had a skin rash, as long as he gets back to his old self I really believe he's as good as any stayers in Australia at the moment and will have a fairly light weight. Worth a look when you're making your selections.

He's been ruled out.
Give him a kiss for me, Moodwalker. He's an amazing horse..... a shame he didn't pass the vet exam but at least this way we know he's safe. Still though..... it's a sad day.

Yep, he is out. Went for stem cell surgery today and is being gelded later this month. The other horse they brought named Bay Story is going to run on Melbourne Cup day and Kieren Fallon galloped him this morning.
He is doing pretty well from what the English lads say.

But I genuinely believe that Pentane is our best chance of winning the cup since Ethereal.
