Efficient begins training for 2010 Melbourne Cup

From the Sydney Morning Herald
6th January

Efficient, the 2007 Melbourne Cup winner who was pulled out of last year's Cup on Derby Day because of fetlock wear and tear, is back in light work at Mt Macedon after a six-week spell.

Owner Lloyd Williams is intent on another Melbourne Cup campaign but is undecided about the autumn.

"We don't race them a lot in the autumn," Williams said.

"He may have a run in April. We gave him a 1200m run in May in 2009. We may do that again."
