Lynam makes Melbourne power play with Slade

Trainer Eddie Lynam plans to send Slade Power to Australia for the 2014 Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival.

The Diamond Jubilee Stakes winner will next be seen in the July Cup at Newmarket, where he is due to run against stablemate Sole Power, who expertly claimed back-to-back renewals of the King’s Stand Stakes last Tuesday.

But Lynam has even more ambitious plans later in the year, with Slade Power earmarked for the Group One VRC Sprint Classic over six furlongs on November 8. The five-year-old entire could go head to head with Australian sprint sensation Lankan Rupee in the penultimate leg of the Global Sprint Challenge.
