Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 4 Journalists Share Posted June 4 Waterford is paying around $4.50 to win the Lord Mayor’s Cup at Rosehill on Saturday. Photo: Supplied Waterford is the $4.50 favourite with Neds.com.au to win the Lord Mayors Cup at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday. The Chris Waller-trained Waterford is ahead of Sir Lucan, Williamsburg ($6) and Eliyass ($8) in the betting for the Lord Mayor’s Cup. Racing returns to the Rosehill after a five-week break with the $200,000 feature, which leads into a series of winter middle distance and staying races in Sydney. The 79th renewal of the Lord Mayor’s Cup won last year by recent Group 1 winner Bois D’Argent has attracted 14 entries, part of a massive 178 acceptances across the 10-race card. Waterford looms as the horse to beat after an unlucky last start second in the Scone Cup, losing to Paul Perry’s Sky Lab. Sir Lucan, trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, has eased slightly but remains second favourite and will be ridden by Winona Costin, making her return to Sydney Saturday racing. Williamsburg saddled up by Gerald Ryan and Sterling Alexiou for jockey Zac Lloyd is at $6 ahead of the Annabel Neasham trained Sibaaq ($8) for jockey Kerrin McEvoy. Following Saturday, middle distance and staying features will include the Listed $200,000 Winter Cup over 2400m on June 15 and Listed WJ McKell Cup over 2000m on June 29, with both at Rosehill.
