    Aethelwulf ($1.20 favourite) <\/strong>strengthened his spring staying credentials with an emphatic victory in Friday\u2019s 2026 Newcastle Gold Cup results<\/strong>, the progressive Matthew Smith-trained son of Saxon Warrior extending his winning streak to four with a comfortable 2.25 length success over Steel Blaze, while Bella Montagna finished third. Expertly ridden by Zac Lloyd, the emerging stayer settled just behind the pace before taking control approaching the 1000m and proving far too strong late to secure his maiden stakes victory and improve his record to five wins from just seven starts. With bigger targets now firmly in sight, Aethelwulf is being aimed towards races such as The Metropolitan and The Bart Cummings as connections chase a coveted start in the 2026 Melbourne Cup. Following the dominant Newcastle performance, Neds reacted by slashing his Melbourne Cup odds from $51 into $21<\/a><\/strong>, while he has also been installed as the $3.20 favourite in futures betting for The Metropolitan 2026<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
