'All Australian Guineas': The Finishing Order
Published: 06 Mar 2016
Melbourne and Sydney both hosted Group One mile races for three-year-olds on Saturday, a calamity in programming caused by the ongoing feud between the two states. Melbourne's Australian Guineas was won by Darren Weir's very tough colt PALENTINO, while in Sydney LE ROMAIN upset an unlucky PRESS STATEMENT in the Randwick Guineas.
That's all interesting enough, but what we really want to know is who won the 'All Australian Guineas'!
If all 28 gallopers lined up at once, our Analysts have used the two cross-border raiders VANBRUGH and TULSA to work out what the finishing order might have been. If you're interested in all the data stuff, it's at the bottom!
