The lightly-race four-year-old SKYWARD posted a remarkable performance to land the Gr.3 Prix de Reux over 2500m in John Messara’s famous yellow and black checkered silks.

While the Melbourne Cup is obviously on his connections’ minds, options are currently being weighed up considering the specific constraints imposed on overseas challengers this year in response to the Covid-19 epidemic.
