The early scratching from the Stradbroke of last years’ big race runner-up, Madam Rouge opens the door for the first emergency Outback Barbie to come into the race … meaning that ace Brisbane trainer Tony Gollan, who already has the favourite Vega One in the race will now have a two-pronged attack.
Outback Barbie will have the services of Melbourne Cup winning jockey Jye McNeil in the saddle while Rachel King, who gets the chance to become the first female rider to win the Stradbroke, will take the reins on Vega One.
In a very open race Vega One, who scored that amazing come from behind win in the Group 1 Kingsford-Smith Cup last time under Jamie Kah, currently tops the betting boards at $6.50 with Wild Planet ($7) The Harrovian ($8.50) and Mr Quickie ($9.50) the only other runners quoted in single figures.
