2025 The Rosebud: Skyhook, Pallaton duel for favouritism
Promising three-year-olds Pallaton and Skyhook share favouritism for Sydney's first stakes race of the new season, the Listed $200,000 The Rosebud (1100m) at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday. Nominations have been extended for the feature race after only eight entries were taken on Monday but TAB Fixed Odds price assessors have framed an opening market with Pallaton and Skyhook at the top of betting at $3.50, just shading Blitzburg at $4. Following the washout of last Saturday's Royal Randwick meeting, a bumper 239 entries were received for Rosehill with every race on Saturday having at least 19 nominations with the exception of The Rosebud and another three-year-old race, a Benchmark 72 Handicap (1300m) which has 12 early entries. Sydney Cup winner Arapaho has been allocated the steadier of 65kg for the Spring Preview Handicap (1400m) but the stayer is expected to miss that race and instead resume in the Group 1 Winx Stakes at Royal Randwick on August 23. Bjorn Baker, trainer of Arapaho, is still likely to have multiple runners in the race with Robusto (62.5kg), Our Anchorage (57.5kg), Highlights (54.5kg) and War Eternal (54kg) also entered. Premier trainer Chris Waller has eight entries for the Spring Preview including comeback stayer More Felons (62kg) and The Metropolitan winner Land Legend (61kg). Emerging filly Karinska is the Waller stable's only Rosebud nomination. Rosehill will also host an all-important set of barrier trials this Friday after they were postponed for a second time on Tuesday. The opening two heats for the Friday session are for Group-class horses and will be run on the course proper. Team Hayes -trained Evaporate at $3.

Blitzburg's two-year-old season was reduced to four starts but the son of Snitzel made a strong impression, winning the Group 3 Canonbury Stakes (1100m) on February 1. The talented colt had has had a long and steady build up for his return and was a winner of his most recent trial over 900m on July 29. 'Blitzburg has been in work a long time,' Ryan said. 'He had a small chip taken out of the bottom of his front joint after he won the Canonbury and that's why we had to stop with him. 'He went out in February and was back in work in the first week of April, on the water walker.' Recent Sydney Saturday winner Nashville Jack is expected to be among the nominations for the Rosebud while West Of Swindon could be in line to make his debut for new trainer Ciaron Maher. The Rosebud will now be the first stakes race of the new season in Sydney after the decision was made not to reschedule Saturday's Group 2 $300,000 Missile Stakes when the meeting was abandoned due to wet weather. The Premier's Cup Prelude over 1800m has been moved to Wednesday's Randwick Kensington card. Originally published as Trainer Gerald Ryan rates spring colt as Blitzburg and Skyhook prepare for returns
