Randwick Races

Sydney’s Royal Randwick Racecourse sees eight fantastic races take to the track on Saturday, culminating the illustrious Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival as the Sydney Cup Day, and the $125,000 Group 3 Frank Packer Plate (2000m) will certainly be a feature.

Due to jump at 1.05pm, the 2010 Frank Packer Plate will see nine fantastic three-year-olds compete over the staying distance, all vying for the prize money.

Favourite to cross the line first is the Guy Walter-trained Al Dhafra at $2.30.

Favourite to cross the line first is the Guy Walter-trained Al Dhafra at $2.30. Despite starting with a wide barrier – 10, the Warwick Farm-based gelding is still a favourite among the punters, after the three-year-olds impressive form recently.

Euphemism is the closest to the gelding with odds of $3.70 and starts from barrier two – an advantage over Al Dhafra.

Bart Cummings-trained Dariana is another contender at $8, starting on the outside of Euphemism, and will be looking to better herself from her sixth place finish in the Adrian Knox Stakes.

The Clarry Conners-trained Family Matters has been scratched from the 2010 Frank Packer Plate reducing the field from 10 starters.

Four fantastic Group 1 races form the fixture list for Randwick on Saturday in the $400,000 Sydney Cup (3200m), the All Aged Stakes (1400m), Champagne Stakes (1600m) and the Queen Elizabeth Stakes (1600m).
