Melbourne Cup Carnival - Flemington, Australia
It’s a week where both speed and stamina will flourish and with the Melbourne Cup Carnival kicking off in less than 24 hours, the wait is over.The first day of the Carnival is very much for the traditionalists with the Victoria Derby the headline event. Run over 2500 metres for three-year-old’s, it’s a race with an incredibly rich honour roll. This year much of the early betting is centered around the saddlecloth order with Cormier narrowly favourite over Stormy Marco and True Rebel.Soon after Derby Day concludes all focus will turn to Tuesday’s Melbourne Cup and Stake will have a very special offer so stay tuned to our promotions page for further details in the lead up to the race!
Tenno Sho - Tokyo, Japan
Croix Du Nord vs. Masquerade Ball. That’s how many think this Sunday’s Tenno Sho (Autumn) is going to play out and it’s hard to argue that on their day either could claim one of Japan’s most important races.Masquerade Ball may not have reached the heights of last year's win in the race recently but never write off a horse who oozes as much class as this customer. On the other hand Croix Du Nord is arguably Japan’s most popular horse right now and with Cristian Demuro taking the reins from barrier one, much will be known about the future of Japanese races by the end of the 2000-metre race Tokyo feature.
Breeders Cup Classic - Keeneland, USA
One of the jewels in the American racing crown will be contested this weekend with Keeneland playing host to the Breeders Cup Classic meeting. Japanese hero Forever Young will hold much of the interest as he attempted to go back-to-back in the Group 1 feature however this is an incredibly strong edition with Sovereignty and Golden Tempo both expected to be threats.
In the other races, Englishman will have plenty of eyes on him in the Sprint race while Hughes is expected to be a Kentucky Derby contender next year and will be sent out favourite in the Breeders Cup Juvenile.
