Gai Waterhouse saddles up two of the four Group 1 favourites on Sydney Cup Day this weekend including her progressive import Carlton House in the 2014 Queen Elizabeth Stakes.
While Sydney’s Queen of racing is represented in the Sydney Cup on Saturday by top fancy The Offer, she also has the punters’ pick in the day’s richest race – the $4 million Group 1 Longines Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m).
Running as Royal Randwick Race 8 at 4:25pm (AEST), this year’s Queen Elizabeth Stakes field features 12 final acceptors including Street Cry six-year-old Carlton House.
An apt favourite for the race being owned by the Queen of England, Carlton House currently sits top of the Queen Elizabeth Stakes odds at Ladbrokes.com.au paying $3.50 as the early market mover.
Drawn in gate five with Tommy Berry to ride, the former European is looking for their maiden win down under at start number five on Aussie soil.
They came very close last time out at Rosehill on March 22 when McEvoy guided them to a nose away second behind Silent Achiever in the Group 1 Ranvet Stakes (2000m).
Now they get the chance to go one better over the same distance but at Randwick, how they handle the likely wet track key to their success.
It’s a red hot Queen Elizabeth Stakes line-up after the juicy $2.4 million first prize this year, and as such a very tight betting market.
There are four other single figure hopes aside from the favourite with:
Also in the mix just outside the top half of the market are then two more from the Waller stables in his reigning Queensland Derby champ Hawkspur ($11) and Sacred Falls ($12) who ran fourth and first respectively in the Doncaster last Saturday over the mile here.
The rest of the field can be found at $26 (Green Moon) and above.
