GODOLPHIN RAIDERS SET FOR AUSTRALIA

Two of Godolphin`s hopes for the Foster`s Melbourne Cup were scheduled to arrive in Australia today.

All The Way and Evil Empire were due to touch down at Melbourne Airport at 5.30pm local time.

The pair will be joined next month by recent stable acquisition Lightning Arrow as Godolphin stages a three-pronged attack on the Cup.

The Dubai-based operation almost landed the prestigious Flemington contest last year when Central Park finished second to Rogan Josh.

All The Way is expected to run in the Group One Yalumba Stakes at Caulfield on October 14 on his way to the Melbourne Cup while Evil Empire may run in the Group Two Herbert Power Stakes the same day. -PA
