What a cracker of a line-up of predominantly short course speedsters to contest the Rockhampton Cup Race Day July 10 Open Handicap, 1050 metres at Callaghan Park on Tuesday at 3.27pm.
Without question, the race has assembled the best field of open class flyers to race at Callaghan Park in donkeysâ years.
There are no donkeys among this group of 10 which between them have won 60 races and earned total prize money of $1,457,175.
The field is headed by 11 times winner, which included five wins over the short course, in the Jamie McConachy trained Gypsy Toff which will carry 57kg after apprentice Alisha Ross claims her 3kg allowance.
