Hinged well weighted for Epsom at Randwick on Saturday

Hinged is well weighted for Epsom at Randwick on Saturday. Chris Waller-trained horse will carry just 50.5kg. Owner Brae Sokolski is confident if Hinged can draw a barrier.

Hinged and Icebath are the $5 favourites for the Epsom at Randwick on Saturday. Hinged finished third behind Anamoe in the George Main Stakes. McEvoy is also the regular rider of Ice bath. The Epsoms is held on the same day as the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp. Mark Zahra will ride Verry Elleegant in that race. Sokolski is a part-owner in Coolangatta, winner of the Moir Stake at Moonee Valley last Friday night. Coolanatta is expected to line up in The TAB Everest on October 21.

Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe crowns international horse racing weekend

Sept. 30 (UPI) -- The Qatar Prix de l' Arc de Triomphe is the race of the year in Europe -- a 1 1/2-mile test that normally draws the best of what the locals call middle-distance runners. A couple of good ones are missing from Sunday's running, but there's plenty of intrigue left. And that's just the tip of the iceberg on a busy autumn weekend…
