Chief Stipe Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Giga Kick draws out in small-but-hot McEwen Stakes field Australian sprinting star Giga Kick is back on Saturday. By Adam Dobbin 12:49pm • 06 September 2023 0 Comments Exciting stayer Goldman begins his march towards the Melbourne Cup when the gifted five-year-old resumes in Saturday's Group 2 Feehan Stakes (1600m) at The Valley. Trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, Goldman, currently an $11 equal second favourite for the Melbourne Cup, is unbeaten in three Australian starts since coming across from New Zealand. The latest of the trio of wins was in the Roy Higgins (2600m) at Flemington in March which secured the son of Verdi a place in the "race that stops the nation" on the first Tuesday in November. Saturday's meeting at The Valley also sees the much anticipated return of The Everest favourite Giga Kick in the Group 2 McEwen Stakes (1000m). The reigning The Everest hero, which has drawn trickily in barrier six, will tackle a field of seven as he launches what looms as a lucrative spring campaign for trainer Clayton Douglas and jockey Craig Williams. THE VALLEY The Valley track was rated a good (4) at acceptance time. The rail will be in the true position on Saturday. The Bureau Of Meteorology forecast for Melbourne is. Wednesday – Partly cloudy. 19. Thursday – Partly cloudy (80% chance of 1-4mm of rain). 20. Friday – Mostly cloudy (80% chance of 2-8mm of rain). 12. Saturday – Mostly cloudy. 14.

Huey Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Pity that great field wasn't going down the straight at Flemington, instead of the goat track at MV. Hastings fields look pretty good as well, a great day on the couch with a couple of 6 packs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said you had only two 6 packs! The first race at Hastings is midday - the last at Moonee Valley is 7:25pm. 12 x 330ml cans over 7 hours......not enough!
