Trainer Peter Chow accepted with Lord Tennyson at Caulfield, but the Warrnambool-based trainer changed plans after the four-year-old drew barrier 13 in the 14-horse field over 1400 metres.
“Lord Tennyson drew in the car park,” Chow said. “It’s just too hard from the wide barrier at the 1400m start.
“He’s on an on-pace runner and trying to get across from the wide barrier would take too much out of him.
“I’m better to head to Bendigo next Sunday. There’s a nice race over 1300 metres for him up there.”
Schism will attempt to win her third consecutive metropolitan race for Ciaron Maher when she runs in a $100,000 race.

Warrnambool trainers Patrick Ryan, Quinton Scott, Aaron Purcell, Matthew Williams and Jarrod McLean have runners on the tough card for punters.
Darren Weir’s Warrnambool satellite stable starters include Moonlites Choice, Nikitas and Chocolate Holic.
