And racing women dominated off the track today too, as Women in Racing held their annual luncheon at the Sheraton Mirage, raising money for Griffith University’s Institute for Glycomics and its research into equine influenza.

It was the first in a series of social events held this week to celebrate the Gold Coast carnival.

Queensland and NSW will both have six runners in the Magic Millions 2YO Classic race, while there are three horses from Victoria and one from the ACT.

Meanwhile, Brisbane trainer Tony Gollan officially has one quarter of the field in the Magic Millions 3YO Guineas after Yeager made the cut today.

Divine Service and the Chris Waller-trained Kipling didn’t accept for the $1 million race, paving the way for the Gollan-trained Yeager and Waller-prepared Liberty Island to secure the final two spots in the 16-horse field.

Gollan will also be represented by race favourite Hijack Hussy, Vienna Royale and Fixation, who will carry top weight of 57.5kg in the race.
