Awkward Draw For Vilanova In Derby

3 minute read

The Chris Waller-trained Vilanova has drawn awkwardly for Saturday’s Group 1 Queensland Derby at Eagle Farm.

Vilanova Picture: Racing and Sports

A capacity field will do battle in the Queensland Derby on Saturday with the $500,000 feature attracting 18 runners with two emergencies.

Having dominated the Group 3 Grand Prix Stakes (2200m) a fortnight ago, Vilanova holds favouritism in the Queensland Derby against a number of the same rivals he defeated last start.

A wide alley is arguably the main obstacle between Vilanova and a maiden Group 1 win having drawn gate 15.

Market rivals in Elusive Runner and Pinstripe Lane have drawn more favourably in barriers 1 and 9 respectively.

They are the only three runners in the capacity field currently quoted at single figure odds with the kiwi fillies Rock Diva and Telepathic on the next line of betting.
