Gerald Ryan is keeping a close eye on the weather and will scratch Standout from the Group One TJ Smith Stakes if Randwick is rain-affected. An outstanding winner over older horses first-up, Standout appeared to be travelling strongly in the Canterbury Stakes but as soon as he came off the bridle, he floundered in the[...]

Anthony Cummings has pressed the restart button on Vegadaze and sent the horse for a short freshen-up after a disappointing start to his preparation.

While it's back to the drawing board with Vegadaze, Anthony Cummings has a spring in his step, and with good reason.

Sentimentally, Kris Lees would love to see history repeat itself in the Missile Stakes but realistically, he does not expect it will. Lees will saddle up two of the five runners in the Group Two sprint, Invincible Gem and Le Romain, who ran one-two in the corresponding race two years ago. The pair have both[...]
