One-time Blue Diamond favourite too classy for VOBIS Gold rivals at Bendigo

Two of Victoria’s best middle-distance horses will bring their rivalry to Sydney in a tantalising Queen Elizabeth Stakes showdown.

Trainer Ben Hayes says the likely conditions at Randwick on Saturday will give Mr Brightside every opportunity to make a lie of a rare last start failure and prove once and for all he can win over 2000m.

Laurel Oak Bloodstock has come away with the most sought-after colt in Adelaide.

Owners vote to retain Craig Williams aboard Mr Brightside in Australian Cup.
