Sans Frontieres Installed At 25-1 For The Melbourne Cup

William Hill have installed Sans Frontieres as a 25-1 chance for Australia’s 150th running of the Melbourne Cup this Autumn.

Handler Jeremy Noseda highlighted the famous handicap as a November target for the son of Galileo, who was last seen taking the notable scalp of Spanish Moon in last week’s Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Newmarket.

Ascot Gold Cup winner Rite of Passage currently heads the betting with Hills as 12-1 favourite, with stablemate Profound Beauty also quoted at 16-1.

Kate Miller, spokeswoman for William Hill, said: ‘’Sans Frontieres could develop into an attractive Melbourne Cup candidate. His pedigree boasts both speed and stamina, with a half-sister who won over two-and-a-half miles hurdling. It is clear that connections are keen to take on longer trips with Ebor, and Irish St Leger entries – and perhaps even a tilt over timber considering his famous owner!’’
