The Group 1 Darley Classic (1200m) is the key supporting race on Stakes Day at Flemington tomorrow, with 11 of the country’s top sprinters (and two internationals) set to battle it out for their final Group One spring race of the season.
The Darley Classic attracts the best sprinters in training, which is evident by the fact that Black Caviar won the race back-to-back in 2010-11.
This year’s field is full of talented sprinters including the Irish Slade Power, who won back-to-back Group One races in Britain before making the journey down under to end his racing career against Australia’s best.
However it is Chautauqua who is favourite to win the 2014 Darley Classic, offering odds of $2.30 in the Ladbrokes.com.au betting market.
The Hawkes Racing-trained gelding wowed spectators at Moonee Valley on October 4, blitzing the competition in the Group 2 Gilgai Stakes (1200m) and winning with ease by four lengths. This win was added to a 2½ length win in the Group 3 Bobbie Lewis Quality (1200m) back in September, making him a real contender for the best sprinter in Australia at the moment.
He will have to beat Australian Race Horse of the Year Lankan Rupee ($5.50) home, who won the Group 1 Manikato Stakes (1200m) last time out.
That’s how the bookies see the 2014 Darley Classic going, but what does the race’s history, form guide, and betting statistics have to say?
