Live sport on SN this weekendThe top 5 box-office horses to watch this autumn
SENTrack • February 6th, 2025 12:16 pm
The SENTrack team have put forward their top 5 box-office horses to watch this autumn.
These are the horses they cannot wait to see in action over the coming weeks and months as Group 1 racing in Melbourne and Sydney returns.
See the top 5s below:
Gareth Hall
1 - Pride Of Jenni
“She might not get back for the autumn but they tell me she’s in work.
“If she does turn up then Pride Of Jenni will be my number one seed.”
2 - Mr Brightside
“I really do think he’s the people’s horse and he’ll prove that in the CF Orr Stakes on Saturday.”
3 & 4 - Via Sistina & Ceolwulf
“A little bit controversial.
“The mighty mare Via Sistina can be equal with Ceolwulf because they’re going to have some great duels.”
5 - Wodeton
“I love this two-year-old colt, I reckon he’s a superstar. He’ll win the Slipper.”
Honourable mentions: Switzerland, Private Harry & Autumn Glow
David Taggart
1 - Via Sistina
“You can’t go past Via Sistina for what she did in the spring.”
2 - Ceolwulf
3 - Growing Empire
“I’ve got to throw a three-year-old in - Growing Empire.
“I think they went to the well one too many times even though he ran third in the Group 1 Coolmore to finish off his campaign.
“I think he’s going to be a better horse (this prep).”
4 - Wodeton
5 - Tempted
“I’ve gone with two two-year-olds that I really like.
“Everyone is on Wodeton and the way Tempted got home the other day over 1100m and just missed suggests she’ll get 1400 to 1600 so she could win a Sires’ and a Champagne Stakes as well if she doesn’t take out the Slipper.”

5 - Autumn Glow
