The 2010 Group 1 Yalumba Stakes will run at 2:40PM on Saturday October 9 as the first Group 1 race of Caulfield Guineas Day.
In this 2000 metre run at Caulfield Racecourse, So You Think is the dominant favourite at odds of $1.50 to win over at SportsBet. In fact, the imposing figure of So You Think may just be what has kept the field so shorthanded at only 6 runners.
So You Think is the winner of the Group 2 Memsie Stakes and the Group 1 Underwood Stakes, and is second favourite in the Melbourne Cup odds behind Shocking. In the Yalumba Stakes, he will carry the lightest weight at 58kg and start from barrier 3. In terms of staying power, he proved he can win at this distance in the Cox Plate last year.
If you are only thinking of placing a win bet in the Yalumba Stakes, there really is no choice other than So You Think. The more adventurous bettors may wish to consider a Yalumba Stakes box trifecta of First Four, especially considering how few runners there are to consider.
