Raising the curtain on this year’s Melbourne Cup Carnival champions.
TAB Turnbull Stakes Day is considered one of the most reliable predictors of horses to watch during the Melbourne Cup Carnival. Boasting more than $3.4 million in prizemoney, its all-black type race schedule features some of the finest thoroughbreds racing in Australia.
The Group 1 TAB Turnbull Stakes is the first feature 2000m race of spring, with $1 million on offer. It is complemented by the Group 3 Lexus Bart Cummings (2500m) with $750,000 in prizemoney and a highly-sought after golden ticket into the Lexus Melbourne Cup.
This fine day of racing included the $300,000 Group 2 Danehill Stakes (1100m) as a warm up to the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) on Penfolds Victoria Derby Day. Also run was the $300,000 TAB Edward Manifold Stakes (1600m) for three-year-old fillies and the $300,000 Furphy Rose of Kingston Stakes (1400m) for mares.
Together with three important Listed races, the TAB Turnbull Stakes Day card offered valuable insight into the Melbourne Cup Carnival feature races.
