Future plans...Mark Kavanagh believes NZer Shadowfax has what it takes to win the $250,000 Winter Championship Final at Flemington on July 9. He could be right. Thed improving 5YO notched an easy win in Sat's Gambling Awareness Cup at Caulfield.
Spring in his step...Clinton McDonald has ambitious plans for his Caulfield winner Sport Chic. He'll give her one more run before spelling her and bringing her back for the latter part of the spring. He says: 'We are really excited by her but she's always been a filly who will be better next time around...A race like the Carbine Club Stakes on Derby day is a race we have targeted...The Thousand Guineas will come around too soon but the Carbine Club Stakes is a nice option.'
Delighted by Beaded's narrow win in the Doomben 10,000, trainer Peter Snowden has a Stradbroke victory as the next target for the pocket powerhouse. Snowden says:She's got a big heart for a tiny mare...When I first set her for this we thought we'd be taking on Black Caviar and Hay List, but when they came out we were a little more confident...She's got a great fresh record but I deliberately left something in the tank for the Stradbroke.'
Peter Snowden has a lot more bullets in his Brisbane carnival gun - like Yulalona who is now after the Grp 1 Queensland Derby (2400m) following a powerful win over 2000m at Randwick on Saturday.
