Classic stuff
By Winning Post, August 20, 2017 - 8:14 AM

The new-season three-year-olds continue their build-up to the spring majors this Saturday with features in both major cities.

In Sydney it's the San Domenico Stakes at Rosehill, where Peter and Paul Snowden-trained Blue Diamond runner-up Pariah will look to get his classic year off to a winning start.

In Melbourne, the youngsters match motors in the Mitchell McKenzie Stakes while the older sprinters including Heatherly (pictured) duke it out in the Carlyon Stakes.

Our form coverage kicks off on Friday with full form guides for the meetings at bet365 Geelong synthetic and Murwillumbah plus fields, colours and selections for canberra and Ipswich.

The metro racing this Saturday is at Moonee Valley in Melbourne, Rosehill in Sydney, Morphettville in Adelaide, Gold Coast in Queensland and Belmont in Perth.

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

On Sunday we've got liftout formguides for four more TAB meetings plus fields, ratings, tips and colours for a stack more Sunday and Monday programs.

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

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

Our readers have their say on page 4, while further back in the book Shane Templeton reminisces, Paul Richards presents his unique take on the sport, Tony Kneebone brings you his Snippets column and Number Cruncher delivers the stats that matter.

Winning Post costs $5 and is available Thursday afternoon in selected Melbourne newsagents, the crack of dawn Friday elsewhere.
