Photo: Bradleyphotos.com.au Saturday’s Listed $200,000 Carrington Stakes (1400m) at Royal Randwick has been called off after a lack of acceptors for the event. While six horses had initially accepted for the race, several were also entered in other feature events across the country, including three Listed races over 1400m scheduled for the same day. Among the horses affected, last-start Wyong winner Grand Impact and Richard and Will Freedman’s Elettrica were both entered in the Listed $160,000 Sunshine Coast Cup (1400m) at the Sunshine Coast. Elettrica has also accepted for the Listed $175,000 John Dillon Stakes (1400m) at Sandown, where stablemate Coastwatch has secured a start. Other nominations for the Carrington Stakes, including Just Folk and Chorlton Lane, remained in Victoria. Accredited, an impressive winner of his past three starts, was a clear favourite with horse racing bookmakers in pre-final field betting for the Carrington Stakes, leaving connections disappointed with no race to run in this weekend. The Carrington Stakes, first run in 1930 and won by Pavilion, has a long history, and the cancellation of this year’s edition marks an unusual turn of events for the race.
