Top Victorian trainer Darren Weir is going all out to secure a first Sydney Group 1 win.
Weir could saddle five runners in Saturday’s All Aged Stakes at Randwick. Online bookmaker sportsbet has his star sprinter Black Heart Bart at the head of betting on $4.00.
Next for Weir is Hellbent ($9.00), Voodoo Lad ($11), Articus ($21) Flamberge ($26).
In the Champagne Stakes, Peter and Paul Snowden’s colt Invader is the $2.00 favourite ahead of Frolic ($4.60).
“Darren Weir dominates Victorian racing, but he is yet to crack it for a Group 1 in Sydney. Black Heart Bart looks the one to beat and Weir’s other potential runners are all in the mix,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Christian Jantzen.
