Barrier draws for Saturday night’s Group 1s revealed

The barrier draws have been completed live on TrotsVision for the four Group 1 races at Bendigo on Saturday night and the stage is set for the one of the most epic nights of harness racing this year.

In the $300,000 Group 1 Prydeā€™s EasiFeed Victoria Cup the pre-post favourite, superstar pacer King Of Swing, drew unlucky-for-some barrier 13 ā€“ widest on the second line.

It opens things up significantly with mighty mare Amazing Dream snaring barrier five and the very much in-form Torrid Saint the pole in gate one.

New South Wales star King Of Swing was still a $2.4 favourite shortly after the draw, with Amazing Dream $3.4, Triple Eight $7.5 from inside the back row and Mach Dan $10 and a genuine smoky in the eyes of manyĀ from barrier 10.

Andy Gathā€™s star trotter Majestuoso has been heavily backed off the back of drawing barrier three in the Aldebaran Park Bill Collins Trotters Sprint, into long odds-on at $1.4 despite Matt Cravenā€™s star mare Pink Galahs pulling marble No.1.

That pair is split by Im Ready Jet at $13 in gate two, while Sleepee is $11 from inside the back row.

The Prydeā€™s EasiFeed Victoria Oaks looks a two-horse race according to the TAB odds with Ladies In Red $1.8 out of gate 10 and stablemate Beach Music $2.4 from barrier three.

The Emma Stewart-trained pair dominate the market, with stablemate Joanna the only other filly in single figures at $6 from gate 6.

Stewart also has a stranglehold on the Lather Up Victoria Derby thanks to Act Now drawing well in barrier three, TAB reacting by moving him into $2.1.

Drawn to his inside, however, is American Dealer at $3 from the Nathan Purdon camp, with Major Moth out to $5 after pulling gate seven ā€“ outside the front row.

Bondi Lockdown had no luck in his heat and again missed the luck at tonightā€™s barrier draw, snaring gate 12 for Aaron Dunn.

Who knows, perhaps Bondi Luck is saving all his luck for Saturday grand final night?
