According to the SportingPost website, with Michael Roberts’ See It Again storming to victory in the Grade 1 Daily News 2000 and entrenching his position at the top of the boards to become the next 3-year-old after Kommetdieding in 2021 to win the big race, the 2023 picture cleared slightly after Saturday, with Sean Tarry’s SA Triple Tiara star Rain In Holland grabbing the other ‘golden ticket’ with a smashing show to win the all ages Grade 1 Woolavington 2000.

The records show that 23 of the original 60-strong entry having now fallen by the wayside and include all of Anfields Rocket, Astrix, Linebacker, Surjay, Golden Ducat, At My Command, Hoedspruit, Royal  Victory, Silver Host, Johnny Hero, None Other, One Way Traffic, Canadian Summer, Divine Odyssey, Future Pearl, Reny, Saartjie, Zeus, Noble City, Winter Greeting, Wiccan Warrior, Boundless Bash and Red Saxon.
