Melbourne Cup winner resumes Apollo Stakes
Race 8 at Randwick and the feature race this Saturday to kick off the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival is the Apollo Stakes. It is a Group 2 weight-for-age race held at Randwick Racecourse. There is also the Group 2 Light Fingers Stakes (1400m) along with the 1200m Triscay Stakes to make it a strong meeting.
The 2022 Apollo Stakes will be run on February 12, 2022 at Randwick Racecourse. The Apollo will be the major feature race of our Expert Sydney Raicng Tips analyst Blaazing Ben Perkins who will be there with all the action for 10 race tips form sheet.
A super field has been assembled for the Apollo which includes last years Melbourne Cup winner Verry Elleegant. The super mare resumes here and is on the second line of betting at 5-1. The racing world awaits the return of Verry Elleegant as she chases the spoils on offer for this years Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival.
Winx won the Apollo Stakes three times in the past (2016, 2017 and 2019). Whilst Verry Elleegant probably wont arouse the same profile as Winx her Melbourne cup win puts here in a massive esteemed class.
The Apollo Stakes has proven to be a suitable lead-up race for horses heading towards the Group 1 Chipping Norton Stakes and beyond for the Carnival.
