Ex-Queensland mare out to end frustrating streak in Goulburn
It's a 1500km change of scenery, but the view might look ideal for an ex-Queensland mare having her first start in NSW at Monday's Goulburn meeting. Everlasting Stars, a five-year-old who hasn't raced since an unplaced effort at Rockhampton in northern Queensland last October, steps out for the first time in the new Danny Williams stable at Goulburn. Formerly with Liam Birchley over the border, Everlasting Stars had been a galloper of immense frustration for owners ever since landing her only win in a moderate maiden at the Sunshine Coast more than two years ago. Despite often starting well in the markets across city, provincial and country venues, she was nothing but inconsistent despite reaching Saturday metropolitan company. But fast forward to 2025, and a long trip south to one of country NSW's leading yards, and Everlasting Stars is set to put endless months of frustration behind her. On a track likely to settle around Soft 6 range, she opened up around $4.80 in early betting for a Class 1 Hcp over 1000m. Bred to fire on rain-affected ground, Everlasting Stars is expected to come to hand early fresh despite not having publicly trialled. Her biggest test will likely come from the Warwick farm-based David Pfieffer stable. While early favourite Explosive Torpido is very unlikely to start after resuming in a deeper BM 72 Midway at Randwick on Saturday, stablemate mare Skiesthelimit is set to run a big race fresh behind two improving trials.
