Australia: War Machine looks for rich breakthrough win in Stradbroke

War Machine is a five-time winner in Australia overdue for a victory in a big-money race.

The landmark win may occur in Friday’s Group 1 Stradbroke Handicap at seven furlongs at Eagle Farm in Brisbane.

War Machine was the 2-1 favorite in early betting on Thursday for the $1.95 million Stradbroke Handicap, which drew a full field of 18. He merits the role of a strong favorite for consecutive wins in May after joining trainers Ben, Will, and J.D. Hayes.

Roger Varian Stable Tour

Emily Shields
The 2025 Royal Ascot meet runs from June 17 to June 21.

The Carlburg Stables supremo takes the wraps off his Royal Ascot runners, featuring Wolferton favourite Enfjaar and Hunt Cup market leader My Cloud.

By Tony Elves

Roger Varian is not renowned for trying to make his geese swans when casting his eye over the Royal meeting and invariably picks up a winning prize at Royal Ascot.

Charyn was the star of the show for the Newmarket trainer last year when maintaining his impressive victory roll in the Queen Anne Stakes and that was a fourth successive year that Varian had returned home to Newmarket with a first prize.
