Aeliana Backs Up & A Kiwi Comes To Town: Australian Cup 2026 + Tancred Stakes Day
The Leg Up Australia Horse RacingShow Notes
It's Tancred Stakes Day, and Woodhead, Loydy and BJ are across the big races on a stacked Saturday of the Sydney Autumn Carnival 2026. The boys break down the $2 million Australian Cup 2026 at Flemington — Birdman chasing a hat-trick, Tom Kitten drawn widest in barrier 12, and Pride Of Jenni looking to make amends. Over at Rosehill, they cover the Vinery Stud Stakes 2026 (NZ Oaks winner Ohope Wins making her Australian debut under James McDonald), the Emancipation Stakes (Idle Flyer as short-priced favourite), and the Tancred Stakes 2026 — Aeliana backing up seven days after a Group 1 win to face Dubai Honour, the defending champion. Six Waller runners in a nine-horse field. Absolute chaos.
