Happy New Year from the Magic Millions!

Today is the day our Kingstar Racing And Breeding Club 2yo Royal Banquet is making his debut at Gosford. Trainer Brad Widdup and the Club are very excited about his chances first up and there will be Club members in attendance to cheer him on. Remember that club membership includes owners tickets to races of Club affiliated horses; make sure to contact me via jasonc@kingstarclub.com to arrange your tickets for future races.

WIN A 5% SHARE
Remember that Gold Membership puts you in the draw for ownership shares of Club horses. Last month Daniel Byrnes was the lucky winner of a 5% share in Royal Banquet, worth over $10,000. Best of luck Daniel for Royal Banquet’s debut today.

For those members that are not able to attend Royal Banquet’s race in person, tune in to Race 2 at Gosford, starting 3.40pm NSW time and 2.40pm QLD time.

Our Standard and Gold Members automatically go into a draw for an Ownerforaday experience when a Club racehorse runs. The two lucky members drawn have a 5% share in Royal Banquet for the day, giving them a 5% share of any prizemoney won. Congratulations to Daphne Emanuel of NSW and Gary Smith of NSW for winning the Ownerforaday experience!

RACING UPDATE
It is a busy weekend for Kingstar related horses with our Thursday Stakes winners having the opportunity to place bets on the following runners.

Royal Banquet: Gosford Race 2 #3 – our debut 2yo has trialled well for this run and we are very hopeful for a first up winner

Menagerie: Gosford Race 7 #12 – recent trial winner for this filly by Zoustar with Jason Collet taking the ride for trainer Joe Pride

Munich: Gold Coast Magic Millions Race 1 #4 – this is the maiden race everybody targets, Munich is 2nd to Lean Mean Machine and looks good form; the team at Snowden’s have him primed for his return

Bondi: Gold Coast Magic Million Race 7 #3 – barrier 16 did not serve us any favours but Bondi to run well on the Gold Coast!

Hightail: Gold Coast Magic Millions Race 8 #6 – he could not have been more impressive earning his slot by winning at Kensington last week and placing 3^rd the week before at Randwick. Barrier 19 makes it tough for Hugh Bowman but he is on the improve and he will relish the 1200M

Equipped: Randwick Race 6 #8 – runs again over the 2400M staying trip. Good advantage to have 3kg on his back with Robbie Dolan taking the ride again. Proven at the trip.
