Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 6, 2023 Journalists Share Posted September 6, 2023 Undefeated galloper Globe will resume in the Group 2 Feehan Stakes. (Photo Credit: Bruno Cannatelli) Saturday’s Group 2 Feehan Stakes (1600m) at Moonee Valley has attracted a strong field of 15 runners looking to book a spot in the Cox Plate (2040m). The Feehan Stakes is the sole ‘win and you’re in’ race for the weight-for-age championship of Australasia, and that status is reflected in the quality of the field. Among the 15 runners are three former Group 1 winners and over $12.6 million in prizemoney won. Heading the Feehan Stakes betting markets is the undefeated Globe, trained by Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr. Online bookmakers have him marked as a +200 chance for Saturday’s $500,000 feature. This will be Globe’s maiden foray into stakes-level racing having progressed through the grades during the autumn with four straight wins, including a last-start BM100 victory at Sandown on May 6. Globe will need to overcome a tricky draw in the Feehan Stakes, jumping from barrier 12 under Jamie Kah. Joining Globe towards the top of the market is last-start Moonee Valley winner Deny Knowledge (+600). Both Goldman (+1200) and Lunar Flare (+2500) are ballot-exempt for the 2023 Melbourne Cup and are both set to kick off their campaign with a run in the Feehan. Mr Brightside managed to claim victory in the Feehan Stakes last year before going on to finish seventh in the Cox Plate. The Group 2 Feehan Stakes is race nine on the Moonee Valley program on Saturday, September 9.
