20+ hour, 7+ min ago (523+ words) The field for Saturday's Group 1 $1.5 million Winterbottom Stakes (1200m) has been finalised, with defending two-time champion Overpass and local hero Jokers Grin at the top of the betting. Only 11 will face the starter for this year's edition of the race, though that doesn't detract from the fierce rivalry between No. 1 and 2 in the racebook and, in fact, might enhance it. Overpass ($2.90) has been overtaken in market by Jokers Grin ($2.60f) and they rate well clear of Luana Miss and Rey Magnerio (both $9), the latter of whom will be ridden by Railway Stakes-winning hoop William Pike. Pike had previously been partnering Oscar's Fortune ($21) but had deserted hope of beating the race favourite after being upstaged in both his key lead-up events. "Poor Oscar's, he's done nothing wrong; he's been very good," Pike told SEN. "But I wasn't sure we'd be able to beat…...

1+ day, 14+ hour ago (723+ words) Oscar Piastri has received an apology from his McLaren bosses over their disastrous Las Vegas Grand Prix " but the disqualified Australian ace now faces the prospect of even missing out on the runner's-up spot in the F1 world championship. Former long-time championship leader Piastri is clinging on in the hunt for the title, still 24 points behind his teammate Lando Norris, who like the Aussie was also disqualified in Vegas because their cars were found post-race not to comply with technical regulations. McLaren's misjudgement, with the skid blocks on both cars being found to be less than the minimum depth allowed by the rules, meant Norris, who'd finished second, and fourth-placed Piastri both ended up pointless for the weekend. Piastri must be pleased in one sense because the double DQ has pulled him back closer to Norris than he was when they…...

2+ day, 9+ min ago (426+ words) The Formula One driver's championship remains a three-way shootout after Max Verstappen held off Lando Norris to win the Las Vegas Grand Prix, but hopes of a first Australian champion since 1980 are fading fast after another frustrating day for Oscar Piastri. The young Australian was left starting from the third row after a yellow flag in qualifying stifled his final flying lap, and the bad luck that dogged him in Vegas on Saturday remained there on Sunday (AWST). As America's biggest stars rubbed shoulders with racing royalty on the floodlit strip, including Beyonce and Jay Z, Piastri was forced wide at the first corner and took most of the race just to reclaim the position he started in. Norris had only himself to blame for giving up pole position into the same turn, defending the reigning champion Verstappen so hard…...
