Dante’s Volonte New WA Champ

Dante’s Volonte is without question the new WA champ.   I hadn’t seen this horse before today,  and while I’m sure he didn’t beat much, he looked like one out of the box.  He didn’t get out of second gear and demolished his rivals.

Hate to think how far he would have spaced them had Jarrod Noske given him one with the whip. Might be a bit hard to get a price but this one will continue to dominate the Perth racing headlines.

Crown Australia Mile Triple Challenge

The Crown Australia Mile Triple Challenge will be a three race challenge including the Emirates Stakes run at Flemington during the Melbourne Cup Carnival, the Railway Stakes run in Perth and the Futurity Stakes run at Caulfield racecourse.

Perth Cup Betting

Perth Cup Betting during the Summer Carnival is always popular with the Perth Cup run over 3200 metres on New Years Day each year at the Ascot Racecourse in Perth, Western Australia. The Group II $400,000 two-mile feature staying event was won by the Frank Maynard trained Black Tom in 2006.

Black Tom spaced his rivals to score by six lengths in taking out the third of the feature races over the Perth Summer Carnival. A $1 million carnival bonus is available to any horse who can win the Fruit ‘N’ Veg Stakes, CB Cox Stakes and the Perth Cup with the Peter Giadescro trained Early Express thwarted at the last hurdle finishing third behind black Tom.
