Saturday is host to four elite level The Championships races for the opening day including the three-year-olds doing battle in a top edition of the Group 1 $3 million Australian Derby (2400m).
Leading the Australian Derby odds online at Ladbrokes.com.au is the spring’s VRC Derby hero Riff Rocket at $3.60 to do the interstate double.
Hitotsu (2021/22) became the first horse in history to complete the VRC Derby – ATC Derby double since Mahogany (1993/94) and now there is money for Riff Rocket to be the next.
The classy son of American Pharoah is out to the mile and a half now fourth-up and fit after a trio of good lead-up runs including his Group 1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m) success on March 23.
Criterion (2014) was the last horse to complete the Rosehill Guineas – Australian Derby double that Riff Rocket pays $3.60 through Ladbrokes.com.au to do with success in the latter this weekend.

Waller chases his maiden Australian Derby trophy and also saddles-up his recent Group 1 Australian Guineas third place-getter Cap Ferrat ($15).
Occupying the second line of Australian Derby betting at $4.20 is the sole filly in the mix taking on the colts and geldings, the James Cummings-trained Zardozi.
The talented daughter of Kingman is out to be the first Australian Derby winning filly since Shamrocker back in 2011.
The Godolphin-raced youngster was excellent in the spring claiming victory in the Group 1 VRC Oaks (2500m), and she beat home the boys two back in Rosehill’s Group 2 Phar Lap stakes (1500m) by a good margin.
She is now on the quick back-up after running third to star NZ filly Orchestral in the Group 1 Vinery Stud Stakes (2000m) last weekend.
Jamie Kah comes aboard for the ride with the two girls drawn barrier two taking on the boys.
A further two runners are also under double-figures in ATC Derby betting with Zardozi’s Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes winning stablemate Tom Kitten ($5.50) coming off a close sixth only 1.59 lengths beaten in the Rosehill Guineas and the airborne Wymark ($7) considered the dangers.
Michael Freedman prepares local Savabeel gelding Wymark who is on a hot streak chasing win number five on the trot after stepping up to Group 2 grade for the first time last weekend in the Tulloch Stakes (2000m).
