Racing: Confusion still reigns

For a couple of hours, second emergency Kermadec was safely in the Doncaster Mile field.

With Saturday's Randwick meeting postponed until today because of the weather, trainer Chris Waller is again playing a waiting game with scratchings reinstated.

The Waller-trained Moriarty was withdrawn early on Saturday morning because of the extremely heavy track, while Godolphin's It's Somewhat came out with a temperature.

That gave Kermadec and first reserve Sweynesse, also from Godolphin, starts in the race before the meeting was rescheduled.

If the surface improves with yesterday's fine weather, Waller said Moriarty could take his place while John O'Shea, trainer of It's Somewhat, said the horse's temperature was back to normal.

Both Sweynesse and Kermadec are also entered for the Carbine Club Stakes against their own age group.

Waller is also represented by Sacred Falls and Royal Descent who ran one-two a year ago, leading in a historic first four for the trainer.

"They are both well and the wet track suits them," he said.

"Kermadec has never been on it, while Moriarty has been placed on a soft track but not heavy."

Hallowed Crown remains the $5 Doncaster favourite ahead of Kermadec and Pornichet at $7 and Royal Descent at $7.50.
