Thanks for the quick reply & well done. All the best for Sunday
The Canberra Racing Club will have up to six emergencies if up to 20 horses accept to ensure opportunities are given to as many runners as possible.
What you don’t want is horses missing out on a run because the race club did not allow enough emergencies. There will be lots of scratchings. @ThoroughbredPk @RNSWStewards @racing_nsw
Happy dual acceptor weekend, let the games begin. 😡

Can’t wait for The Coolmore tomorrow. Quality field and an elite stallion making race. No better example than 5 years ago !
Great job again Trav. Thanks
Biggest Likely Fields piece every year with 4 Group 1's on Saturday @FlemingtonVRC for Derby Day. The Derby itself as a capacity field with Spirit Of Gaylard outside the final 16 at the minute. Empire Rose is high quality, Coolmore- Big and Good field. All that and more 👇
Quality Caulfield Guineas this year
Caulfield Guineas likely field 👇 • Mo'Unga- D Oliver • Tagaloa- C Williams • Glenfiddich- L Nolen • Ole Kirk • Cherry Tortoni- B Egan • Crosshaven- D Stackhouse • Cambourne- M Zahra • Aysar- D Lane • King's Legacy- H Bowman • Mamaragan- M Rodd
Where can I find the fields ?
YouTube Sandown junpouts, First 5 or so are up already...

Exciting to see the Official 2yo trials fields @atc_races Canterbury on Monday. Good ones always come out of this racing.racingnsw.com.au/Free…

Well worth a read and serious consideration. Racing needs to get out of its own goldfish bowl dita-blog.com/single-post/20…

What a serious Coolmore field. A rare 3yo crop of quality. Most already going to stud. Saturday will go a big way to determining their fee

Replying to @AndrewBensley
All it needs now is prizemoney commensurate to the quality of the field...Coolmore is 1/2 the $ as the G Rose

Congrats to @NewgateFarm. They've priced their stallions well. A few reduced in price & that reflects the very tough Easter sale for vendors

For the biggest stallion making race of the year Rosehill is now a Good 4 racingaustralia.horse/FreeFi…
Very sad news about Better Loosen Up. He put Australian racing on the map. Timely that his close relation Flying Artie races in the Slipper
