Seven covers the
Adelaide Autumn Carnival today with Oaks Day at Morphettville, plus live action from Hawkesbury and Sandown Hillside.
Bruce McAvaney will again lead the commentary team, joined by Jason Richardson (pictured), Michelle Payne and Henry Dwyer.
The Adelaide Autumn Carnival is one of the annual highlights on the Australian racing calendar, and Morphettville will come alive on Saturday when the Group 1 Australasian Oaks and Robert Sangster Stakes headline a glittering day of thoroughbred racing.
Some of the nation’s best fillies will take centre stage in the Australasian Oaks (2000m), where rising star Steinem looms as the horse to beat. However, unbeaten Tasmanian fan favourite Hela will be looking to extend her streak of seven consecutive wins in her first start on the mainland, and impressive last-start winner Brookspire is aiming to give master trainer Chris Waller back-to-back Oaks wins after Toffee Tongue’s 2020 victory.
