This week in Winning Post

This week's Winning Post will be available online from 3pm Thursday AEDT here.

The Blue Diamond-bound babies stepped out on the Australia Day weekend, and this Saturday the road to the Golden Slipper starts with the Widden and Canonbury Stakes at Rosehill.

Both races have produced more than their share of Slipper winners, most recently Lady Of Camelot, who completed the Widden Stakes-Golden Slipper double for Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott last year.

There's also black-type action for the older sprinters at Rosehill, with the running of the Group 3 Southern Cross Stakes.

More two-year-olds step out in Melbourne as racing remains at Sandown following the recent grandstand fire. The babies contest the Chairman's Stakes, while the mares go around later on the card in the Geoffrey Bellmaine Stakes.

Our Sunday coverage includes full guides for Sale Sprint day and the Bega Cup card at the Sapphire Coast, plus Tassie readers get a full guide to TTC Magic Millions/Sydeston Cup day.

Our form coverage kicks off on Friday with a full form guide for The Valley, plus fields, colours, previews and tips for a stack more Friday meetings.

The metro racing this Saturday is at Sandown in Melbourne, Rosehill in Sydney, Morphettville in Adelaide, Doomben in Brisbane and Ascot in Perth.

Winning Post carries full-colour liftout guides for all those meetings plus bet365 Park Kyneton (Vic/SA edition), Newcastle (NSW edition) and Gold Coast (Qld edition), as well as fields, tips, ratings and/or colours for other TAB Saturday cards.

On Sunday we've got liftout formguides for three more TAB meetings (plus Launceston in the Tassie edition) as well as fields, ratings, tips and colours for a stack more Sunday and Monday programs.

Don't forget Winning Post now carries trackwork reports for four Victorian training tracks, three in Sydney, Morphettville in Adelaide and a general Brisbane report.

Away from the form, we've got news columns from NSW, six Victorian districts, SA and Tasmania.

Our readers have their say on page 4, while further back in the book Shane Templeton reminisces, Paul Richards presents his unique take on the sport, Tony Kneebone brings you his Snippets column and Number Cruncher delivers the stats that matter.

Winning Post costs $6 and is available Thursday afternoon online ($5), the crack of dawn Friday in shops.
