This week's Winning Post will be available online here from 3pm Thursday AEDT.

Believe it or not, the first Group 1 of 2026 is here already, with Flemington hosting the Black Caviar Lightning.

Exciting Godolphin colt Tentyris resumes in the Lightning, looking to pick up where he left off in spring, winning a major down the straight. 

Elsewhere on the Flemington card, the Australian Guineas-bound three-year-olds battle it out in the C.S. Hayes Stakes for males and the Desirable Stakes for fillies. Over the same 1400-metre trip, the older horses battle it out in the Elms Handicap (open) and Frances Tressady (fillies and mares). The two-year-olds get a last shot at Blue Diamond qualification in the Talindert Stakes.

Meanwhile at Randwick there's four group races on offer: The Expressway (open), Light Fingers (three-year-old fillies) and Triscay (mares) are over 1200 metres, while some of the top weight-for-agers will be back in the Apollo (1400m).

Out west it's Magic Millions Day at Pinjarra.

Our form coverage kicks off on Friday with fields/colours/tips/overviews for all *nine* TAB meetings.

The metro racing this Saturday is at Flemington in Melbourne, Randwick in Sydney, Morphettville in Adelaide, Eagle Farm in Brisbane and Pinjarra in WA.

Winning Post carries full-colour liftout guides for all those meetings plus Ballarat (Vic/SA edition), Newcastle (NSW edition) and Gold Coast (Qld edition), as well as fields, tips, ratings and/or colours for other TAB Saturday cards.

On Sunday we've got liftout formguides for three more TAB meetings (plus Hobart in the Tassie edition) as well as fields, ratings, tips and colours for a stack more Sunday and Monday programs.

Don't forget Winning Post now carries trackwork reports for four Victorian training tracks, three in Sydney, Morphettville in Adelaide and a general Brisbane report.

Away from the form, we've got news columns from NSW, six Victorian districts, SA and Tasmania.

Our readers have their say on page 4, while elsewhere in the book Shane Templeton reminisces, Paul Richards presents his unique take on the sport, Matt Stewart covers the big issues and Number Cruncher delivers the stats that matter.
