ON THE DERBY TRAIL, PLUS SOME OVERSEAS GRADE 1s in AUSTRALIA & HONG KONG!
OAKLAWN PARK: One Derby Prep this weekend, the REBEL at Oaklawn will see the seasonal unveiling of AMERICAN PHAROAH after a long layoff since September. Probably the most anticipated return since Lazarus!
Two of the world's top rated horses will run this weekend: ABLE FRIEND in the G1 Hong Kong Queen's Silver Jubilee Cup, and LANKAN RUPEE in the G1 Lexus Newmarket at Flemington in Australia. Also at Flemington, the AUSTRALIAN CUP will see perennial bridesmaid at Melbourne, RED CADEAUX looking to further boost his bank balance.
A victory in Saturday's $1 million Australian Cup would swell the prize money of popular English stayer Red Cadeaux to nearly $8 million, making him clearly the largest stake money earner in British racing.
However, while the nine-year-old is well ahead of his English counterparts, only success in the Sydney and Melbourne Cup's later this year would begin to threaten the imposing bank balance of three-time Melbourne Cup winner Makybe Diva, who amassed more than $12 million during her phenomenal run of success.
On Saturday, Red Cadeaux makes his fifth visit to Flemington and his consistency in major races around the world has managed to swell his prize money to more than $7.3 million. Read more

A 5-year-old Shamardal gelding, Able Friend slammed international rivals when victorious in the Longines Hong Kong Mile (HK-I) in December and then dominated in Stewards' Cup (HK-I) at the same distance in January. The latter race saw him ranked second (rated 124) to U.S.-based Shared Belief (125) in the first edition of the Longines World's Best Racehorse Rankings for 2015. Read more at source
