It’s one of the most exciting days on the racing calendar and we have six key races to sink our teeth into before the Melbourne Cup, which takes place next Tuesday. At Rosehill Racecourse, it’s The Golden Eagle Day, which features The Golden Eagle, the Rosehill Gold Cup and the Russell Balding Stakes.
In Melbourne, it’s Derby Day, so we see three Group One races; the Victoria Derby, the Empire Rose Stakes and the Coolmore Stud Stakes. Make sure you don’t have any plans on Saturday (or that your plans involve a screen that has racing on it)! It’s going to be an epic Saturday of racing and you certainly don’t want to miss out.
Now is the time because my Saturday tips have landed here at OnlyRacing. I have put together a set of tips for all six races mentioned above, but for this specific tips article, I’m focusing on the Russell Balding Stakes. I’ve checked out the entire field and all my best bets can be found below!
