The 2018 Melbourne Cup runner-up Marmelo has been retired to stand at stud in France, a fortnight after his controversial scratching from the 2019 race.
The controversial scratching of Marmelo has left his English trainer Hughie Morrison questioning why local horses haven't been subjected to the same CT scans.
English trainer Hughie Morrison will appeal the Victorian stewards decision to rule last year's Melbourne Cup runner-up Marmelo out on veterinary grounds.
A British Horseracing Authority disciplinary panel will determine trainer Hughie Morrison's fate after a hearing into a drug positive in one of his horses.
