Super racehorse trio Black Caviar, More Joyous and Hay List will not compete in the Group 1 $1million Patinack Farm Classic in Melbourne Cup Week after owner John Singleton vowed to keep them out.

Singo's stance is in reaction to the $600,000 bonus offerd by the VRC which is effectively open only to overseas sprinters.

He said he'd spoken to his horses' trainers who all agreed if Singapore racehorse Rocket Man came to Melbourne for the bonus, they would not take part on principle.
