Sponsored by: Eduardo Eduardo, the world s third-highest ranked racehorse, is the headline act this Friday night in Australia, as the “Queensland Winter Carnival” hits top gear at Doomben Racecourse. Eduardo will line up in the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 over six furlongs, which will be broadcast live on TVG and available to stream on the new Sky Racing World App (First Post: 9:38 p.m. ET / 6:38 p.m. PT). Just as America s best eastern stables head south to Florida for the winter, Australia s focus shifts to its northeastern state of Queensland during the Southern Hemisphere winter. In fact, Florida and Queensland share the moniker “Sunshine State.” Queensland s capital, Brisbane, is Australia s third-largest city and my hometown. Its two racetracks, Doomben and Eagle Farm, are across the street from each other and will hold a G1 race six of the next seven weeks.
Australia: A Champagne End To The Sydney Autumn Carnival Sponsored by: Converge (6-1) carried high weight to win the Fernhill, and is therefore advantaged under the Champagne’s set weights versus those he vanquished The Championships at Randwick may have come and gone, but Sydney s final two Group One races of the Autumn Carnival, the Champagne Stakes and All Aged Stakes, headline a 9-race card at Randwick this Friday night. Live-stream the card on the new Sky Racing World App or watch the broadcast live on TVG (First Post: 9:55pm ET / 6:55pm PT). Just as The Championships bear similarities to the Breeders Cup, there are parallels between Australia s and America s Champagne Stakes: both races were inaugurated in the 1860s and are staged late in the season for 2-year-olds at a mile, and both have produced future Classic winners and Horses of the Year. Belmont s Champagne Stakes has been won by future Triple Crown champions Count Fleet and Seattle Slew, and its winners now earn qualifying points to the following season s Kentucky Derby. Randwick s Champagne Stakes serves a dual purpose, both as a glimpse of Classic potential and as the culmination of a juvenile Triple Crown series. Six horses have swept Sydney s 2-year-old Triple Crown, but the possibility of a seventh was extinguished when last month s Golden Slipper winner Stay Inside was immediately sent for a layoff.
Australia: Addeybb, Verry Elleegant Rivalry Heats Up On Day Two Of The Championships At Randwick Sponsored by: Addeybb and Verry Elleegant continue their stirring rivalry in Friday night s Queen Elizabeth Stakes Day Two of “The Championships” at Randwick promises to deliver some unforgettable racing theater, as one of the sport s greatest international rivalries reaches its climax in the $4 million Queen Elizabeth Stakes (G1). Sky Racing World s racing expert Jason Witham will be trackside at Randwick for live crosses to the TVG broadcast (First Post: 9:30pm ET / 6:30pm PT). English stayer Addeybb first visited Australia in March of 2020, engaging top Australian mare Verry Elleegant in an exhilarating edition of the Ranvet Stakes. Addeybb fought back to win after being headed, then more easily had Verry Elleegant s measure in the Queen Elizabeth. Combat was renewed in this year s Ranvet (watch replay), when a similar stirring, stretch-long duel ensued. Verry Elleegant turned the tables and now looks to even the score in Friday night s eagerly anticipated Queen Elizabeth Stakes at 1 1/4 miles.
Australia: Four Group 1 Races Friday Night In The Championships At Randwick Sponsored by: Eduardo, right, holds off Nature Strip in the G2 Challenge Stakes Australia s equivalent of the Breeders Cup commences this Friday night, as Day One of “The Championships” at Randwick features a quartet of rich Group One races. Sky Racing World s racing expert Jason Witham will be trackside at Randwick for live crosses to the TVG broadcast (First Post: 9:35pm ET / 6:35pm PT). Just as America s season-defining event takes place in the Fall, a couple of months before the season concludes, The Championships fall within Sydney s “Autumn Racing Carnival” a few months before the end of the Southern Hemisphere racing season. Like the Breeders Cup, The Championships is a two-day event, except the two days are staged a week apart. More than $21 million in purses are up for grabs across the next two Friday nights, and each day of The Championships features an eagerly awaited rematch. Next week s Queen Elizabeth Stakes will be the culmination of a pulsating rivalry between Australian mare Verry Elleegant and English stayer Addeybb. In the meantime, two world-class sprinters will knock heads again this Friday night in the G1 TJ Smith Stakes (Race 8).
Sponsored by: Melody Belle There are many American graded stakes races with their own rich history which now serve as preps for the Breeders Cup. Similarly, Friday night s features at Rosehill have become stepping stones to The Championships at Randwick (April 9 & 16). The Group 1 Tancred Stakes includes the Queen of New Zealand turf, Melody Belle, and other key contenders at The Championships. Be sure to catch all the action live on the new Sky Racing World App or watch on TVG (First Post: 9:45 p.m. ET / 6:45 p.m. PT). The Tancred Stakes will be the first Australian stop on the farewell tour by mighty New Zealand mare Melody Belle, whose career is of elite status. Striking at a 50% win rate across 38 starts, she recently set a New Zealand record for most G1 wins (14) and will likely set another record when offered at public auction upon her retirement.
