Australia: Anamoe Out To Prove Himself In Million-Dollar Golden Rose

Golden Rose Preview – Rosehill: The 8th is the Golden Rose, a G1 million-dollar race for 3-year-olds at seven furlongs. Rosehill will host its first race day since July 24, having been in an area of Sydney that was under strict lockdown. Gerald Ryan, one of the leading trainers based at Rosehill, is glowing in his praise of the surface. A combination of rest and early-Spring weather will provide a luxurious carpet.

Star Colt: #1 Anamoe (4-5 favorite) was Australia's best 2-year-old last season, finishing an unlucky second from a horror post position in the world's richest juvenile race, the Golden Slipper. His 2-year-old campaign culminated in a smashing G1 victory at his only seven-furlongs start. In Anamoe's seasonal debut two weeks ago, the son of Street Boss contested the Golden Rose's traditional prep race, the Run to the Rose (watch replay). The Godolphin colt gave weight and a beating to many of Friday night's rivals, whom he will meet at level weights this time. Anamoe's dam was a G1 winner in Australia who finished third in the 2007 American Oaks at Hollywood Park.

China Opposition: “Godolphin blue” might be the most globally ubiquitous silks in horse racing, but the Chinese flag is on the rise courtesy of the China Horse Club. Justify carried their red and yellow colors across the Belmont finish line in his Triple Crown triumph, and the same silks will be carried by four of Anamoe's twelve opponents. Chief among them are #2 Artorius (8-1), who has defeated Anamoe and likes seven furlongs; and #5 In The Congo (9-1), who is a game, consistent front-runner but is suspect at the distance.

Untapped Potential: #7 Remarque (7-1) is a full brother to 2018 Golden Slipper winner Estijaab. Remarque was also considered “Slipper-worthy,” but illness sidelined him. The lightly raced colt was beaten by Anamoe in the Run to the Rose, but remains on the radar of slot holders for The Everest who have not secured a runner.

A Pair of Fillies: #12 Jamaea (14-1) was similar odds when upsetting a G2 race for fillies at six furlongs; will relish the extra distance. Owners of #13 Startantes (17-1) paid a $37,500 late entry (supplemental) fee for their filly, who invades from the northern state of Queensland.

Selections: #1 Anamoe, #7 Remarque, #2 Artorius

Supporting Stakes: The card boasts four other Group races and a Listed race. The 7th is the G2 Golden Pendant for fillies and mares at seven furlongs. #2 Entriviere (7-5) just turned five but has run only eight times, winning six for New Zealand's preeminent trainer, Jamie Richards. The 5th is a Listed race for 3-year-olds at 5-1/2 furlongs. The Chris Waller-trained #2 Home Affairs (5-2) and Godolphin's #3 Paulele (2-1) are candidates for The Everest. The world's richest race on turf is only three weeks away, on October 15.

Hot Jock: Nash Rawiller rode four winners last Friday night at Randwick, and has mounts in eight of this week's ten races. Best fancied are Race 5 #2 Home Affairs (see above paragraph) and Race 10 #2 Ellsberg (5-2), for the aforementioned Rosehill-based Gerald Ryan.

The Rosehill card will be broadcast live on TVG this Friday night (First Post: 9:55pm ET / 6:55pm PT) alongside cards from Toowoomba, Gold Coast and Goulburn. All races will be live-streamed in HD on the new Sky Racing World App, skyracingworld.com and major ADW platforms such as TVG, TwinSpires, Xpressbet, NYRABets, WatchandWager, HPIbet, DRF Bets and AmWager. Wagering is also available via these ADW platforms. Fans can get free access to live-streaming, past performances and expert picks on all races at skyracingworld.com.
