Great ride Dylan Dean on the winner Zourain. Deserving of more opportunities given his 3kg claim at premium Country tracks. Not sure Flying Popov will be starting fav again anytime soon, hit a horrible flat spot again tonight but huge late sectionals will suck a few in 😜.

Stringer Glass - OUT - Didn't pass the CT Scan with vets determining he had a heightened risk of injury, had PET scan last night to fully examine and still deemed heightened risk. Vauban and Litzdeel- passed trot ups this morning and deemed suitable to accept tomorrow.
Racing Victoria Stewards, acting on specialist veterinary advice, have this morning ordered the withdrawal of the Yasuo Tomomichi-trained Stinger Glass from the entries for the 2026 Lexus Melbourne Cup (3200m) at Flemington next Tuesday, 3 November 2026. racingvictoria.com.au/news/2…

📰 Ciaron Maher hasn’t totally ruled it out but he said this morning it is looking less likely that Pride Of Jenni runs next week in the G1 Champions Mile at Flemington. The multiple G1-winning mare recently contracted a mild case of cellulitis. @Racing @SENGiddyUp

Very interesting to see in the Derby some Group 1 winning Fillies/Mares as the dams of some of the runners. Abbey Marie- 2016 SA Oaks winner dam of Cormier. Princess Jenni- 2019 SA Oaks winner dam of King Snitz. Colette- 2021 Empire Rose winner dam of Hierarchy.

Some race this. Shame Melbourne Cup week and the Breeders Cup clash every year. Would love to get there one day.
The official field for the 2026 $7 million @BreedersCup Classic (G1). Who do you like?

Cool little snippet from OTI Racing re Waller's thoughts for Soverato in mid June.
What makes Chris Waller so good? Here's his update to Soverato's owners in June, a week after her run in the G1 Queensland Oaks. A perfectly executed plan - onto the G2 Matriarch we go! 👸 @cwallerracing

Jockey Jamie Melham's appeal has been dismissed, her 4 meeting suspension confirmed, ruling her out of Derby Day. Ben Melham now rides Satono Glow in the Coolmore Stud Stakes @RandSRacing @JohnOSheaRacing

Three fillies entered in the Victoria Derby: Fringilla, Quick Finish, Refuse To Curtsy. The last filly to run in the Derby was Lycra in 1990 (also ran in the Oaks). The last filly to place was Born To Be Queen in 1985. The last filly to win was Frances Tressady in 1923.
Quick Finish beat the boys in the Classics Preview, then wins the G3 Ethereal Stakes. Any chance she tackles the Derby? No filly has run in both the Derby and Oaks since 1990 although plenty have run on Derby Day in the Wakeful.

Well the VRC Derby distance knockers have certainly got a lot to jump up and down about this week. Can't recall a more uninspiring VRC Derby field in my time in Racing. Think the tradionalists will be seeing the last year the race is run at 2500m.
