This week in Winning Post

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

The Doomben section of Queensland's carnival reaches its climax this Saturday with the running of the $1 million Group 1 weight-for-age Doomben Cup over 2000 metres.

The Ciaron Maher-trained Buckaroo will be one of the leading contenders.

Support races at Doomben include the Group 2 Roses for the Oaks-bound fillies, two-year-olds, the Group 3 BRC Sprint, the Group 3 Pam O'Neill Stakes for the fillies and mares, the Carter Stakes for the two-year-old fillies and the Chief De Beers for the speedsters.

Saturday racing returns to town in NSW (Randwick) but goes bush in SA (Murray Bridge). In Melbourne Sandown hosts its first Saturday meeting of 2025.

The Provincial Championship Final is the highlight at Belmont in the west.

Our form coverage kicks off on Friday with a full form guide for the Cranbourne night meeting, plus fields, colours, previews and tips for a stack more Friday meetings.

The metro racing this Saturday is at Sandown in Melbourne, Randwick in Sydney, Murray Bridge in SA, Doomben in Brisbane and Belmont in Perth.

Winning Post carries full-colour liftout guides for all those meetings plus Wodonga (Vic/SA edition), Newcastle (NSW edition) and Ipswich (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, 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 96, while elsewhere 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 $6.00 and is available Thursday afternoon online ($5), the crack of dawn Friday in shops.
