Horse racing: Last leg of triple crown punting puzzle as favourite out

La Crique pulled out of the Livamol Classic yesterday. Mustang Valley is the new favourite for the Group 1 at Hastings on Saturday. The weather forecast is for rain tomorrow and Thursday before the sun returns on Friday and Saturday and the betting picture will change. There is a week between the Arrowfield and Livomol and trainers are nervous about their horses' fitness. The barrier draw is on Wednesday morning. It is possible that the winner will be decided on the day of Livmol.
