It's Day 1 of The Championships at Royal Randwick on Saturday afternoon and that means we've got four massive Group 1 races to sink our teeth into. First we review last weekends demolition job from Prowess in the Vinery Stud Stakes, The old timer Cascadian getting the job done in the Australian Cup, plus of course the Tancred upset as Arapaho found Group 1 glory for the first time. Then it's all about The Championships. Sires Produce, TJ Smith, Doncaster Mile and Australian Derby all setting up an epic weekend of racing. We go into all our bets for the races along with our best bets across the weekend, here in Australia and maybe a bet or two across the ditch. Put the feet up and as always, good luck on the punt.
We cover:
Randwick R5,6,7,8 and 9
