Tara Madgwick - Tuesday September 22

The $1million ATC Golden Rose (1400m) this Saturday is the first Group I race of the season for three year-olds and eight colts and one gelding have accepted for a race that is seen as a passport to a stud career.

Race favourite Rothfire has drawn 8, dual Group I winner King’s Legend in 9, while key up and comers Ole Kirk and North Pacific have drawn 3 and 6 – click to see the full field.

The only runner not bought as a yearling at auction is the favourite Rothfire, with the remaining runners ranging in prize from $1.4million for King’s Legend down to $160,000 for Yardstick.
