Golden Eagle 2022: The big question mark over Light Infantry

Light Infantry is the favourite for the $10m Golden Eagle at Rosehill on Saturday. He has never raced around a bend in his five career starts in England and France. Trainer Ciaron Maher is hoping to lure him to Australia for a Royal Ascot campaign and then sell him. The last straight race of the horse's career was over the mile. The Golden Eagles is worth $5.25m. It starts on High St and finishes at Centennial Park. If the straight was extended over such a distance, it would start on the High Street and finish at the Centennials Park, which is where the race starts.
