Brisbane sprinter Woorim has gained a spot in next month's $1million Grp 1 Stradbroke Handicap at Eagle Farm after Racing Queensland handicappers penalised him 1kg for his BRC Sprint win. The penalty means he'll carry 52kgs and lifts him to 23rd in the order of entry. Several runners above him are already ruled out so Woorim, trained by top local mentor Rob Heathcote, will easily make the 18-runner field.LATEST STRADBROKE BETTINGSincero 5.00Hay List 6.50Beaded 7.50Love Conquers All 10.00Woorim 1

Tim Clark is the new 'temporary' rider for Stradbroke fav Sincero. TC will be aboard for the Grp 2 QTC Cup (1300m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday week. Glen Boss was to have the ride but he is committed to ride in Singappore.

Here's confidence for you...Due to what it says is 'overwhelming interest' in young sire prospect Star Witness, Widden Stud has decided to announce a service fee for the dual Grp 1 winner before he competes at Royal Ascot next month. 'The fee will be set at $33,000 inc. GST for the 2011 season, so breeders now have an opportunity to lock in a booking before he competes in the Grp 1 King's Stand Stakes and the Grp 1 Golden Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot next month.' says Widden's Antony Thompson.
