After moving a plate, English galloper Red Verdon has a bruised heel and is being watched in the preparation for Tuesday’s Melbourne Cup.
Ed Dunlop’s Red Verdon ran 11th in the Caulfield Cup and connections are still hopeful of a start.
Vets having a look at Red Verdon in the next hour. Moved a plate overnight and caused bruising. While not ideal, connections confident he could gallop on Saturday and still make the Cup @Racing
