The 2018 Coolmore Classic results will be known shortly and we can’t wait for a massive afternoon of racing at Rosehill Gardens.

The Coolmore Classic is the only Group 1 anywhere in the country this afternoon and it is an extremely interesting betting race.

It is Chris Waller-trained Egg Tart that is currently a clear favourite in the 2018 Coolmore Classic betting market with Ladbrokes and there has been a great deal of support for the two-time Group 1 winner, but there has also been money for promising Godolphin filly Raiment ($7.50), Ron Quinton-trained Dixie Blossoms ($8) and last year’s unlucky runner-up Silent Sedition ($9).

We will also have a clearer picture of the 2018 Golden Slipper final field following the running of the Magic Night Stakes and the Pago Pago Stakes, which include leading Golden Slipper contenders Sunlight and Written By.

Don’t miss out on all the action at horseracing.com.au this afternoon!

2018 Coolmore Classic Day Results

Race 1 (12:15pm) – $100,000 Catanach’s Handicap Results

Multifacets returned to winning form with a tough effort in the Catanach’s Handicap at Rosehill Gardens this afternoon.

Glyn Schofield elected to settle Multifacets right on the speed in the early stages as Cyrus Rocks set a very strong tempo and that proved to be the difference.

The well-backed favourite All Too Soon savaged the line, but she got too far back and could finish no better than second.

  • 1st – Multifacets
  • 2nd – All Too Soon
  • 3rd – Tamarack

Race 2 (12:55pm) – $350,000 Group 3 Sky High Stakes Results

Auvray finished over the top of his rivals to win the 2018 Sky High Stakes at Rosehill Gardens this afternoon.

Stampede took up the running in the early stages of the race and looked set to fight out the finish with Libran, but it was Auvray that showed the superior turn-of-foot down the outside of the track.

Auvray will head towards the 2018 Sydney Cup at Royal Randwick on the second day of The Championships.

  • 1st – Auvray
  • 2nd – Libran
