Royalty on the way! Carlton House, owned by the Queen and set for Gai Waterhouse's Randwick stables, is due to fly out of Hong Kong in the early hours of Monday morning alongside Australian gallopers Alcopop and Sea Siren. tHe will be the Queen's second runner in Australia - Arabian Story ran sixth in the Melbourne Cup behind Might and Power in 1997. The trio will spend two weeks in quarantine at Werribee.
With the Melbourne Racing Club jumps bonus now worth a stunning $300,000, trainer Ciaron Maher believes you would be foolish to ignore it. Available to any horse than can win three of the following feature jumps races; the Brierly Steeplechase or Galleywood Hurdle at Warrnambool, the Australian Hurdle, Australian Steeplechase, Grand National Hurdle or Grand National Steeplechase at Sandown, the bonus was originally worth $100,000 but jackpotted to $200,000 and now $300,000, after no horse could complete the treble in each of the first two seasons. While 2012 Australian Jumping Horse of the Year Bashboy won't be ready in time for Warrnambool, Maher said he could target the bonus with fellow steeplechaser Regal Heir as well as recent stable acquisition Phaze Action.
