A group of 19 European runners have arrived in Australia ahead of the Spring Carnival meeting.
Melbourne Cup stalwart Red Cadeaux, Johnny Murtagh's Ebor winner Mutual Regard and Roger Varian's Ambivalent are settling in at the International Quarantine Centre at Weribee following the mammoth journey.
The total travel time for the horses was approximately 30 hours, stopping off in Amsterdam, Sharjah and Singapore on the way.
Racing Victoria's international recruitment officer, Leigh Jordon, told www.rv.racing.com: "The IRT team were very happy with the way all 19 horses travelled and to my eye they've stepped off the plane in really nice order.
"The horses will be given some time to settle in to their new surroundings at Werribee and I'm looking forward to seeing them hit the track during the week.
"There's a great mix of talent that has arrived today and I definitely think we've seen horses that can fight out the finish of the Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate and Melbourne Cup.
"We've been reacquainted with some old favourites and we're most pleased to have Red Cadeaux lining up for his fourth straight Spring Racing Carnival, a record for an internationally-trained horse.
"Likewise, we're excited to welcome back Dandino and Side Glance, who both performed so well last year, and highly-rated new talent like Ambivalent, Mutual Regard and Protectionist."
A final shipment of European-trained horses is due to arrive in Melbourne on 11 October, with the likes of Adelaide and Cavalryman set to make the trip.
