The perfect race for him 🙌

Looking forward to heading to Perth on NYD for Perth Cup with Epsom Derby winner Serpentine, It will be the first time the blue and white colours have graced Ascot.
Just waiting on flight ✈️conformation from @PerthRacing then it’s all systems go.

Does anyone know where to find raw, runner by runner sectional time data for VIC and NSW metro meetings run prior to 2014?

SHADOW KING holds the record for Cup starts with 6, 1929-33 and ‘35 from SKYBEAU who contested 5, 1996-2000.

"It is quite rare now to have a born and bred local that has come through the system here run in the Cup, let alone win it."

The 2019 champ will run in his fourth Melbourne Cup on Tuesday. https://t.co/1NR8oMW64r

Drops to 51kgs, more likely than not to get preferred firmer footing. Cup winning rider Jye McNeil goes on. Currently 50/1 most places. Can be in it for a long way on speed if he can draw a gate.

One of the great days of the Australian Turf, Caulfield Cup Day @MelbRacingClub Caulfield. Race 9, Caulfield Cup G1 2400m Preview #TheGreatGame #HorseRacingTips

Really nice type and great pic, many thanks too @bohual

@TeamWilliamsFan Lygon Street runs in 3.15pm @corkracecourse for @carriganog and @JosephOBrien2

[TeamWilliamsFan @TeamWilliamsFan]

POINT KING looked magnificent in the parade but never really traveled comfortably throughout, giving ground from the 600m and finishing out the back, with a trip to Melbourne now looking highly unlikely.

Agree, don’t think his Derby win was a fluke. Australia should suit him and his first up run was very good for further.

[Nathan Riddell @F4tboy04]

@TeamWilliamsFan I’m dying to see Serpentine back to his best. I think if they can get the best out of him Aussie racing will suit him perfectly. I think he could lead all the way run them into the ground in a Caulfield Cup

[TeamWilliamsFan @TeamWilliamsFan]

Nick Williams spoke about KING OF THE CASTLE on @RSN927 this morning, saying he was an out and out stayer who would more than likely be aimed at the lesser staying races this Spring. Well worth a listen @m_felgate

[Ben Cameron @AussieBenC]

@TeamWilliamsFan Have they or anyone around the group made any public comment about how king of the castle is going?
I’d have thought reasonably well forward with the Bart Cummings likely target in 3 weeks?

[TeamWilliamsFan @TeamWilliamsFan]

@AussieBenC I haven’t seen any mention but he was a cracking fourth from the back in a brutal Irish St Leger last time out, albeit 12mths ago. Looking forward to seeing him Saturday.

[TeamWilliamsFan @TeamWilliamsFan]

After Tuesday’s first acceptances Team Williams have 7 horses still in contention for the Melbourne Cup, with POINT KING and POINT NEPEAN looking the most likely challengers with 2020 Epsom Derby winner SERPENTINE the most intriguing Spring entry #CupWatch

@TheOzSportsman @NeilEvansmail Hi, the last two Sportsman’Special’ editions haven’t been uploaded to the website. I’ve contact the support email and they’ve referred me to the publisher. Who is the contact please? Many thanks.

[At The Races @AtTheRaces]

Exciting news! Chester Cup winner Cleveland will now be trained by @JosephOBrien2, with the Melbourne Cup a potential target!

[TeamWilliamsFan @TeamWilliamsFan]

@TheOzSportsman This one hasn’t been put up online yet?

[TeamWilliamsFan @TeamWilliamsFan]

@NeilEvansmail Hi mate, is there going to be an @TheOzSportsman Easter Monday special edition for the metro meetings? Thanks.

[TeamWilliamsFan @TeamWilliamsFan]

Says it all.
