A field of 9 for the Queen Elizabeth and 10 in the Railway..

Something wrong somewhere.

What was the Royal Stakes is probably the worst G2 race in living memory.

Where are the horses, well they are not racing in Aus, because this is by comparison their quiet time.  One of the positives I can see, is that a number of the vintage season of 3-year-olds are starting to populate some of the group racing fields.
