Talented kiwi mare Wealth Princess is no guarantee to push on towards a start in the $1 million Group I Stradbroke Handicap (1400m), according to her trainer Brent Gillovic.
Stradbroke No Certainty For Wealth Princess
The winner of last Saturday’s Group III Glenlogan Park Stakes (1350m) at Doomben, Wealth Princess is 34th in the Stradbroke order-of-entry.
“She will definitely go on to the Group II Dane Ripper Stakes over 1400 metres on Saturday week, but I will have to talk with [owner] Sean [Buckley ] to decide whether we push on to the Stradbroke the following Saturday, or the Group I Winter Stakes for fillies and mares later in the month,” Gillovic told NZTM.
Wealth Princess is the latest high-class racemare purchased by high profile Victorian-based owner, Sean Buckley.
Buckley, also owns former champion sprinter Miss Andretti, the winner of five Group I races, and former South African mare Dane Julia , who later won the Group I New Zealand Bloodstock Breeders Stakes in New Zealand.
Wealth Princess is $12 with TAB Sportsbet in Stradbroke Handicap betting.
