MORE BIG TIMES A-COMIN'
After the Blue Diamond and the sad demise of Newmarket Day, we'll get the Guineas and the Australian Cup on Saturday then all our attention will switch north.
Randwick has some very exciting races this coming weekend, then Rosehill turns on the fully monty.
After this, Randwick offers the Derby, the Doncaster and the Sydney Cup on consecutive weekends, so it takes us right through to May.
Needless to say, there are many races on all seven racedays to whet the appetites of all punters. From the world's biggest kidstuff through to some of the best mile racing you'll ever see, and the classics led by the BMW and the Sydney Cup. The latter has been much tarnished over recent times but it's still got a ring about it.
The Todman and the Reisling (she was a great filly and it means "angel", for the benefit of those who insist on pronouncing it like the wine), then the Slipper itself.
The Sires' and the T.J.Smith.
The Coolmore. The Queen of the Turf.
The Ranvet and the BMW.
The Galaxy.
The George Ryder and the Doncaster. Toss in the All-Aged Stakes.
The Guineas then the Derby and the Oaks.
And that's merely a start! And after about sixty or so of these crack races, we head to Brisbane for a month or so.
Is it any wonder I still get excited about the autumn?
