An intriguing battle is looming in Saturday's Yalumba Stakes, even with only six horses accepting for the Group 1 race.
The $400,000 Yalumba Stakes run over 2000m, pits crowd favourite 'Whobegotyou' against last years Cox Plate winner 'So You Think' in a race that promises to decide who will start favourite in the 2010 edition of the Cox Plate.
When the pair last met, Whobegotyou finished a half length behind So You Think in the Group 2 Memsie Stakes run over 1400m at Caulfield, in what seemed to be a preview of future bouts.
Both horses appear to have a stranglehold over the race, with last years Melbourne Cup favourite 'Alcopop' heading the other runners.
So You Think heads the Yalumba market at $1.50 with Whobegotyou on the second line of betting at $2.90.
