Cup Penalties For Weekend Winners
Monday, 28 September 2009: Racing Victoria chief handicapper Greg Carpenter has issued spring carnival weight penalties to Mr Clangtastic and Alcopop following their feature race wins over the weekend.
Mr Clangtastic has been penalised 1kg for both the Caulfield Cup and Melbourne Cup following his win in the G3 Colin Stephen Quality over 2400m at Randwick on Saturday.
He now has 51kg in both races.
“Mr Clangtastic fought on courageously to win after leading with 57kg on Saturday and has now won each of his three runs over 2400m,” Carpenter said.
“Since Cup weights were released he has also won the Wyong Cup.
”The penalty lifts Mr Clangtastic to 36th in the elimination order for the Caulfield Cup and takes him past the ballot clause for the Melbourne Cup where he is now 45th in the elimination order.
Alcopop has been penalised 1kg for the Melbourne Cup, taking his weight to 51kg, following his win in the Listed JRA Cup at Moonee Valley last Friday night.
Alcopop, who is not a second acceptor for the Caulfield Cup, has been in terrific form for young South Australian trainer Jake Stephens.
“Alcopop won the Balaklava Cup in track record time following the release of weights and was again impressive in winning the JRA Cup,” Carpenter said.
The five-year-old still has to pass the ballot clause for the Melbourne Cup where he is currently 81st on the elimination order.
