What | Bathurst Cup Day |
Where | Bathurst Thoroughbred Racing – 55 Eleven Mile Dr, Bathurst NSW 2795 |
When | Sunday, September 15, 2024 |
First Race | 1pm AEST |
Country racing heads to Bathurst on Sunday afternoon, with a competitive eight-race program set for decision. The $50,000 Bathurst Cup (1800m) headlines the action, with Big Dance eligibility up for grabs. The rail sits in the true position the entire circuit, and with warm spring conditions forecast throughout the weekend, participants should be racing on a genuine Good 4 surface. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 1pm AEST.
Bathurst Cup Tip: Money From The Sky
Money From The Sky looks perfectly placed in the Bathurst Cup after a terrific first-up effort at Rosehill on August 31. The son of Frankel lacked race-day fitness returning after a 238-day spell but never shirked the task, being produced from near-last turning for home to get within four lengths of Too Much Caviar. Stepping up to 1800m second-up should prove to be an ideal setup, and with a 4kg swing on his main rival, Money From The Sky should be able to turn the tables this time around.

Race 7 –
6yo Gelding | T: Sara Ryan | J: Benjamin Osmond (a1.5kg) (59kg)
Best Bet at Bathurst: News Bound
News Bound demolished her rivals by five lengths debuting at Tamworth on January 25 and looks to be much better than country grade. The Rodney Northam barn elected to head straight to the paddock with the then three-year-old mare, and after 234 days off the scene, the daughter of Press Statement looks prepared for a first-up assault. Chelsea Hillier gets legged aboard once again, and with gate three allowing her to slot into the one-one throughout, News Bound should have no issues remaining undefeated.
Best Bet
Race 5 –
4yo Mare | T: Rodney Northam | J: Chelsea Hillier (58kg)
Next Best at Bathurst: Ellipsis
Two strong barrier trials should have Ellipsis ready to fire on debut. Her most recent trial at Rosehill on September 5 particularly caught the eye, with the Bjorn Baker-trained filly roused along to get within a length of Gattodance. Andrew Adkins has every option available from stall two, and provided Ellipsis can replicate that trial form on race-day, watch for this filly to be rattling home to claim victory.

3yo Filly | T: Bjorn Baker | J: Andrew Adkins (55kg)
