WHAT’S THE OFFER?
A total of $ 8 million, just like last year. It is divided as follows:
1. 4.4 Mio. USD, 2.1 Mio. USD, 3. 550,000 USD, 4. 350,000 USD, 5.1 230,000 USD, 6.-12. 160,000 USD
WHO WON IT THE LAST YEAR?
Vow And Declare, trained by Danny O’Brien, held the international challenge to win an exciting edition of the race.
There was drama after the race as the final placements were changed after the first protest in the race since 1991 was confirmed. Irish stayer Master Of Reality crossed the line second but was relegated to fourth, and Il Paradiso moved up to third behind second-placed Prince of Arran.
WHO ARE THE FAVORITE THIS YEAR?
It was already a fascinating race, with Aidan O’Brien-trained Irish importer Tiger Moth holding a $ 6.50 favor despite not having raced in Australia and Sir Dragonet ($ 7.50) rose to second preference after winning at Cox Plate.
Caulfield Cup runner-up Anthony Van Dyck got down to $ 9 ahead of local Hope Surprise Baby ($ 10), last year’s runner-up Prince of Arran ($ 13), and Caulfield Cup winner Very Elleegant ($ 13) fixed. Ashrun’s chances of winning were lowered to $ 17 after winning the Lexus Hotham Stakes.
