Spring Carnival Racing

The 2010 Caulfield Guineas still has 92 runners remaining in contention for the win, after the first declarations were announced yesterday.

The numbers will slowly be culled down in the coming weeks to form the 16-horse 2010 Caulfield Guineas final field, which will light up Caulfield Racecourse on October 9.

The 2010 Caulfield Guineas prizemoney will be $1 million this year, with $600,000 of that going to the winner.

One notable horse missing from the 92 remaining runners is the Blue Diamond Stakes winner Star Witness.

The Danny O’Brien-trained colt will not run in the 2010 Caulfield Guineas after sustaining an injury last week, which is highly disappointing considering his impressive first up third this spring.

Also missing from the first declarations is the Golden Slipper winner Crystal Lily.

The filly has been pulled from both the 2010 Caulfield Guineas and the 2010 Thousand Guineas due to injury, which is disappointing considering the potential the champion filly was showing.

The second declarations for the 2010 Caulfield Guineas will close on September 21, which will certainly see the competition step up a level.

Other spring features which closed first declarations yesterday were the 2010 Thousand Guineas, the 2010 Cox Plate, the 2010 Caulfield Cup and the highlight of them all – the 2010 Melbourne Cup.

Below we have listed the 2010 Caulfield Guineas first declarations, so check them out and see if you are able to pick a winner.
