The Group One Doomben 10,000 this Saturday looks to be a fascinating match race between reigning world champion sprinter, Takeover Target, and super filly Gold Edition. A win for Takeover target will see him well primed for another international campaign, while victory for Gold Edition would further enhance her claims to become Horse of the Year.

This apparently left the way clear for Teofilo to claim the first leg of a Triple Crown, but there was more drama as he drifted alarmingly in the betting - after a mystery source reported that he had suffered a setback in his training. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, his trainer Jim Bolger was fast asleep and didn'’t...
