The connections of Tuesday's Melbourne Cup winner Shocking will consider taking their horse to Dubai and Royal Ascot next year.

The four-year-old's owner Laurence Eales says he wants to continue racing the horse even though his value as a stallion has significantly increased after his stirring win at Flemington.

Shocking's trainer Mark Kavanagh is already planning to visit Dubai next year with Shocking's stablemate Whobegotyou, which is one of Australia's best horses.
