His transfer to Australia coincides with the second year of operation for Darley's Australian base, Colingrove Stud.Carnegie Express, meanwhile is a 5-4 favorite to become the second to complete Australia's Triple Crown in almost 30 years to join Octagonal. He won the first two legs: the Canterbury and Rosehill Guineas (both Aust-I).
