Humidor
Bruno Cannatelli
The New Zealand-bred Humidor failed to cope with the distance of the Gr.1 Melbourne Cup (3200m), according to his rider Blake Shinn.
“He just doesn’t run the two miles, it’s as simple as that,” he said. “He gave me a nice ride throughout, but the pressure went on and he didn’t respond.”
Despite his unplaced effort, the Darren Weir-trained Humidor has enjoyed a lucrative spring campaign with victory in the Gr.1 Maybe Diva Stakes (1600m) and placings in the Gr.1 Cox Plate (2040m) and in the Gr.1 Turnbull Stakes (2000m).
