First Horse Racing Weekend in May
A Super weekend of Racing kicks off on Friday with the running of the Listed Wagga Gold Cup over 2000m while Harness Racing at Moonee Valley features the running of the $20,000 Cinderella Stakes as the Mares Triple Crown gets underway with Kiwi mare Molly Darling the one to beat.
Racing at the Gold Coast on Saturday provides the highlight with the Prime Minister’s Cup meeting. The major race on the card is the $300,000 G2 Norco Pauls Milk WFA Hollindale Stakes over 1800m with Australian Cup winner Roman Arch sure to appreciate the drop in class on his last couple.
Super Sunday at Morphetville will see the running of the SA Derby and the Goodwood Handicap. The Leon McDonald trained Gallant Guru looks capable of posting a hometown win. Grinding home at his last couple he has been looking for the Derby trip while the much travelled Testafiable for trainer Peter Moody looms as hardest to beat.
The Goodwood Handicap is as open as the Sydney heads with a host of chances. Plenty of value if you can find the winner of this race with Royal Ida for trainer Michael O’Leary the early favourite.
Don’t forget the Asian Mile Challenge continues on Sunday with the running of the third leg of the Challenge, The Champions Mile at Sha Tin.
