Nice to see Voodoo doing well in Australia. He was useful enough in the UK, but looks like he's better suited to his new racing home.

From the DRF:

One race earlier Thursday, all eyes will be on Morpheus as the 4-year-old colt makes his U.S. debut when breaking from post 1 under Jose Lezcano in a $64,000, third-level optional claimer (race 7, post 4:11) at 1 1/16 miles on Polytrack.

Morpheus, also new to Mott’s care after being campaigned by the late Henry Cecil and his widow, Lady Jane Cecil, has won 3 of 8 career starts. He will be getting first-time Lasix when facing 11 other older horses off 13 workouts (11 at Payson Park and two at Keeneland).

“We’re just crossing our fingers in the hope he’ll adapt over here,” Garrett O’Rourke said. “Obviously, he has some talent, and we’re hoping he’ll find a niche for himself, something that’s ideal on these American tracks and with firm ground.”

He was 9th/last, but his 1/2 bro Noble Mission (GB) (Galileo) will try to redeem the family's honor in Gordon Richards Stakes (Group 3) at Sandown on Sat.

Morpheus was pretty fresh for this race...went to the front (not exactly a Euro trait) and did not seem to want to rate. He faded in the stretch, which could mean that it was his first race in the States and he needed the race. Or maybe he wants to be a sprinter?
