$4million Doncaster Field and Barrier Draw – Aus Breds Dominate

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday April 2

The field and barriers are out for the $4million Group I ATC Doncaster Mile (1600m) at Randwick on Saturday with a full field of 20 plus four emergencies and it’s reassuring in an elite race over a distance longer than a sprint - that is packed with intrigue and differing form lines - to see Australian breds make up the lion’s share of the field accounting for 17 runners.

Everest winner Think About It carriers the number 1 saddle cloth and 57kg with the Joe Pride trained son of So You Think drawing gate 15, while Japanese raider Obamburumai, who won the Golden Eagle on his last visit to Sydney has barrier eight.

Group I winning three year-old colts Militarize, Celestial Legend and Southport Tycoon are all in the field and have drawn gates four, six and 20 respectively.
