The first Cox Plate at Flemington was a success, but I hope it’s last.
My read on the racing: betsy.com.au/weekend-at-bots…
I would be taking $3 Lady Shenandoah all-in. Thinking she starts closer to even money.
Could be the bet of the carnival under set weights conditions. Jmac on, no Pride Of Jenni. Significant class edge.
Going down the page, could be a field of 10-11.

The noms are out for Derby Day and will shares his thoughts on who he’s siding with. Who wins the first set of Group 1s on cup week?
@WillElford
He looks like Jokers Grin 2.0 - very good
What a run by Bassett Hound 👀
Slow away but still far too good!

We don’t need two Spring Champions in two weeks. It’s gotta stay at 2500m

Talent for talent I think Arcadia Queen was just as good as Cosmic Crusader if not better.
But he’s got a Cox Plate now and she doesn’t, so that’s probably debate settled?
Caught three-wide, no worries for Arcadia Queen. A stunning win in the Seppelt Mackinnon Stakes. 👑
@SeppeltWines @FlemingtonVRC
How he missed a run in the Caulfield Cup after winning a Metrop so dominantly, crazy.
How Cosmic Crusader missed a run in the Railway last year also boggles the mind, even with the benefit of hindsight.
Do parts of the balloting/handicap system need review? Recent form etc…
JUJA KIBO STORMS OVER THE TOP 💥
Ciaron Maher gets the trifecta in the Moonee Valley Gold Cup and has another Melbourne Cup runner as Sam Clipperton gets his first winner at Flemington!

When dreams come true 👏
A throwback to Scott Embry’s interview with William Pike at the 2026 WA Racing Hall of Fame.
📰 Bob Peters, breeder and owner of Cosmic Crusader, isn’t ruling out the Champions Stakes for his Cox Plate hero. If he is at Flemington on November 7, it will be Cosmic Crusader’s eighth run of the prep, which kicked off in the Bletchingly Stakes on July 25. Iron horse!
