Gold Coast trainer Paul Shailer insists Mister Bianco isn't ready yet for any trips interstate
Gold Coast trainer Paul Shailer insists Mister Bianco isn't ready yet for any trips interstate to compete in major races but he'll know more about the promising gelding's prospects this summer. Shailer has earmarked a potential tilt at The Gateway (1400m) at Eagle Farm in December which offers a golden ticket into next year's Stradbroke Handicap to the winner. It's the same $300,000 contest that took cult galloper The Inflictor and hobby trainer Craig Cousins on a magic carpet ride to this year's edition of Queensland's premier race. Mister Bianco ($3.30) is the narrow favourite for a 3YO Handicap (1350m) at Doomben on Saturday, slightly ahead of the Richard and Bevan Laming -trained colt Savour The Dream ($3.50). 'He's not ready for Sydney or Melbourne,' Shailer said about Mister Bianco, who was a late scratching from this month's $300,000 Group 3 Winx Guineas (1600m) at the Sunshine Coast after Shailer couldn't find a suitable rider following an injury to Ryan Maloney. 'He's not good enough at the moment so we might as well race for good Saturday prizemoney here (in Brisbane) while we can. 'He'll have a spell and then we'll bring him back for some summer racing.' Mister Bianco has been flying during a campaign that started in mid-April, winning three of his past four races, including last month's $150,000 TL Cooney (1350m) at Ipswich. 'He's a few runs in and some pros think he should be in the paddock,' Shailer said. 'I'm very mindful of that and I'm certainly looking for reasons for him to show me that he's ready to go to the paddock but he hasn't given me any. 'Until that happens he'll be racing. He's in fantastic order and his work on Tuesday was as good as I've seen from him.' Co-trainer Richard Laming said he would set a spring plan for Savour The Dream after seeing how the colt performed in his next two runs. The three-year-old returns to the track on Saturday after finishing 12th in the $1m Group 1 Australian Guineas (1600m) at Flemington on March 1 and then 11th in the $750,000 Group 1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m) in Sydney three weeks later. 'Look, we're not wound down and we're not screwed up so whatever we do, we'll improve on,' Laming said. 'He's going to go up in distance but we're unsure where he'll go. I'll be guided by how he performs over his first couple of runs, whether we go interstate or just give him a short prep and turn him back out. 'Sometimes with three-year-olds, when they do a fair bit of racing and they're travelling like that horse did, they don't sort of come up so that's always in the back of your mind. 'If he doesn't fire over his first two runs then we'll probably turn him back out.' Eagle Farm before he formulated a plan for the colt's spring assault.

2025 Stradbroke Handicap: Cejay Graham to ride The Inflictor
Don't miss out on the headlines from Horse Racing. Followed categories will be added to My News. Pressure is your friend. Young jockey Cejay Graham has those words ringing in her ears as she prepares for the 'pinch myself moment' of riding in her first Stradbroke Handicap. The words were delivered by Graham's mentor, trainer Kelly Schweida, after the young jockey came from Port Macquarie on the New South Wales mid-coast to be Schweida's apprentice in the big smoke in Brisbane a couple of years ago. And never have they been more fitting as Graham, 26, prepares to ride Queensland fairytale horse The Inflictor in Saturday's $3m Stradbroke at Eagle Farm. • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section. SUBSCRIBE NOW! 'The best bit of advice Kelly has given me was that pressure is your friend,' Graham said. 'You've got to absorb the pressure and embrace it. 'That's one thing he said to me that really stuck, because coming from a few knock-backs early in my riding career I wasn't initially too confident with some things and he just said 'don't let the pressure get to you'. 'If you don't have pressure, you probably aren't going really good, are you? 'So when you put it like that, you want the pressure, don't you? 'It is a pretty cool saying that is stuck in my head.' The Inflictor winning The Gateway at Eagle Farm to collect a golden ticket into the Stradbroke Handicap. Picture: Trackside Photography • J-Mac confirmed for Rothfire's incredible Stradbroke bid Graham might hail from New South Wales, but she now considers herself as Queensland as the Great Barrier Reef. And that's just as well because a lot of Queensland will be supporting her – and the remarkable story of The Inflictor and his 60-year-old truck driving hobby trainer Craig Cousins – in the Stradbroke. • Pride taking on Stradbroke history with Private Eye The Inflictor is the home-bred hero who qualified for the Stradbroke by winning the ballot exempt race of The Gateway at Eagle Farm last December. Graham rode the four-year-old gelding to win that day and a lot of water has gone under the bridge since then. She is pinching herself that she has a chance to ride him to glory in the Stradbroke, in a race which will be her fourth career Group 1 ride. • Stradbroke Handicap field: Gollan's gun only second emergency 'Craig was pretty adamant he wanted to stick with me straight after The Gateway, so it's great that he has done that and its fantastic to be given the opportunity,' Graham said. 'It's real pinch myself kind of stuff. 'I think there will be a lot of Queenslanders cheering for us on the day. 'I've done a lot of work with him behind the scenes, I definitely know the horse inside and out. 'He is tough when he leads, but he doesn't have to lead. 'I think he's got a great chance. • Comeback star can give Cummings a Golden send-off in Stradbroke 'And I've really got to thank Kelly (Schweida) for his support as I wouldn't have got the gig riding up in Brisbane without him. 'And if it wasn't for his continued support coming out of my apprenticeship, I might have struggled a bit. 'He has backed me 100 per cent and I owe him everything.'
