West Australian Racing

Australia wide have about six or seven favourite races and the Railway Stakes is definetly one of them. It's Perth's oldest Group One race dating back to 1887. Up until 1984 was run over 1500 metres. When Hardrada won in 2003 was run at Belmont Park.
2017 edition is shaping up very well especially when horses the calibre of Cosmic Storm, Silverstream, Gatting, Sovereign Nation, Ulmann, Great Shot and State Solictor are between 14/1 and 25/1. Add the class of Scales Of Justice and doggedness of Black Heart Bart, plus plenty more...it's looking good.
If anybody is confident they've narrowed it down...feel free to have a go with a few selections.

who is going to ride Gatting Pike engaged with the Peters team,msybe Lee Newman,is Autier still in the mix,or will they engage a Eastern State rider,and it also depends if he makes the feild.

Embarrassing to say but have got next to no memory of Hardrada winning the Railway at Belmont Park. Didn't even recall the Railway being run at Belmont or just very vaguely.
Blevvo 2002 KT winner at better than 20/1.

Winning hoop aboard Blevvo 2002 Kingston Town - Peter Farrell. 25/1.

Ahhhh Material Man
This year is as open as can recall...if they get the best sixteen, with the horses still in contention, around 7/1 the field it should be.

At the least says a field of depth and very open. Not all in the top 16 of betting will run but a week out its not bad to have a quality horse like Great Shot as equal 16th favourite with Pounamu..no slouch himself.
Bet365 takes no chances.
Apparently going to Packenham Cup,is what trainer said after race,there was no mention of a Railway Start.
