4:05 - Jimmysstar disappoints in G2 Russell Balding

Fan favourite Jimmysstar jumped as the favourite in the Group 2 Russell Balding (1300m), however, let his fans down, finishing outside the top 4.

The son of Per Incanto missed the start and couldn’t make up the lost ground as a result.

It was the Godolphin roughie, Pericles, who ended up claiming triumph in the Group 2 at Randwick.

3:45 - The Next Episode claims the Coolmore Stud Stakes

The Next Episode is now worth tens of millions of dollars!

Mark Zahra salutes for the punters aboard the Ciaron Maher-trained colt and what a valuable win it was.

It had a pearler of a run in behind Alibaba, then as soon as he swung out and pressed the button it was game over.

St Gotthard will win a big race and Mbube isn't far away either.

Satono Glow may have found inferior ground but, nonetheless, is the disappointment of the race alongside a very plan Natural Fling and Paradoxium.

3:09 - JMac hits the board for the first time this Carnival

Private Eye has destroyed them in the Damien Oliver in the first W of the Flemington Carnival for James McDonald. The champion hoop will need 10 more wins by the end of Stakes/Champions Day to equal his previous best of 11 winners in 2024 across the week of racing.

1:45 - Three wins on the day already for Waller

Chris Waller is laying down the law early, claiming two of the first three at Flemington and one at Doomben (Your Attitude).

The quinella in Race 1 at Flemington led into a third placing in the second race with Affari and then the win of De Armas in the third.

Wouldn't be a bad ROI if you're a fan of trainer punting.

12:25 - Waller maintains grip on Carbine Club

It's quite phenomenal the grasp Chris Waller has on this race.

The Roaring Sun dashed late to claim the Group 3 making it six total wins and three in a row in this race for the legendary trainer.

Panova ('25), Aeliana ('24), Fangirl ('21), Comin' Through ('16) and Kermadec ('14) were his past winners.

11:45 - Sebastiani is ready to go on Trackside!
