Western Empire is a raging odds on favourite with Sportsbet.com.au for the Kingston Town Classic (1800m) on Saturday at Ascot.
The four year old was dominant in the Railway Stakes (1600m) and looks primed to win his second major and give Pike/Peters/Williams a slice of history in winning all three Group l races for the Carnival in the same year. He is at $1.35.
The danger according to the market is Regal Power, the stablemate, who dodged the Railway to be kept on ice for this. He is at $6, clear of three year old filly Searchin Rocs, who is at $8.50.
