The eyes of the racing world are firmly fixed on Winx in the lead-up to the George Ryder Stakes as the champion mare prepares for her final ever run at her home track of Rosehill before retiring in April. Join The Roar for live updates and our rolling blog from 3pm (AEDT).
The first slipper I witnessed ‘live’ was George Moore winning TJ Smith’s first Golden Slipper on Fairy Walk in 1971.
This Saturday, we head to Rosehill Gardens for the first day of the Autumn Championships, headlined by the richest race in the world for the juveniles – the Golden Slipper.
The All-Star Mile will be run and won on Saturday and a good horse will collect $2.25 million for connections. There is no doubt about that.
Super Saturday at Flemington in the autumn is always one to look forward to, with the Newmarket Handicap and Australian Cup the two best races in Melbourne at this time of year. This years fields do not disappoint.
The Sydney autumn carnival is in full cry now, and even with no Winx on the Randwick card there are still eight black-type races to be run and won, headlined by two Group 1 events.
Winx might not be racing this Saturday, but the heir to her throne as Australia’s best racehorse will be.
The Australian Guineas is the Group 1 feature at Flemington this Saturday, as the headquarters of Australian racing kicks off their three-week autumn carnival.
Group 1 racing returns to Sydney for the first time since early October, and there is no better way than for such an event to be headlined by the greatest of our time, and probably the greatest of all time, Winx.
We head to Royal Randwick this Saturday, for Randwick Guineas day.
After a solid week last week, I’ll look to keep the ball rolling here.
Melbourne’s Saturday metro meeting is at headquarters this week, of course known as Flemington, for Australian Guineas day.
This Saturday’s metro racing in Sydney heads to Randwick, with the feature being the Group 1 Chipping Norton Stakes headlined by the legend Winx.
Trainer John Sargent sat down with The Roar to reflect on his involvement in the Melbourne Cup over the years including when he came sixth in 2015 with ‘Gust of Wind.’ She remains the last horse to beat Winx.
It’s the race we’ve always wanted to see.
David Chillery got divorced in 1998, but it turns out he is only just “celebrating” it now by sponsoring a race at Newton Abbot in the U.K.
The Lion Dancer needed a tamer at Towcester racecourse in England.
