Stanley)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>Bits And Bridles<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>It is great to see that <B>Leeanne McCoy<\/B> is rekindling her association with the <B>Neville O\u2019Toole<\/B> trained A Good Chance in the Star Tyre Power Open Handicap on Saturday. The pair were victorious on Anzac Day last year at Wondai. McCoy has been plying her trade in the far north of the state. She booted home Noir Jack at Innisfail on August 13 and has a full book for the program.\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Jockey <B>Ian French<\/B> made a remarkable comeback by scoring on True Tally at Bundaberg  last weekend. The 47 year-old has been off the scene since May 3, 2014 when he came off Sheza Roughie at Mitchell.\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The most travelled acceptor for the busy five event card is <B>Bulletin<\/B> (USA). The City Zip (USA) gelding was a brilliant youngster, claiming the coveted $1.2 million Breeders\u2019 Cup for Juveniles at Churchill Downs in 2018. After the chestnut posted an American scoreline of 9:3-1-1 for earnings of $930,000, he joined the Gai Waterhouse-Adrian Bott team in 2020. Sadly his outings there amounted to seven trials and four unplaced starts for an income of a meagre $8,000. The now seven-year-old (by Australian time) then finished rearward twice each for the Mitch Beer side at Albury and Ben Brisbourne\u2019s Wangaratta unit. <B>Kelly Gates<\/B> has been engaged for the import that is also entered for the Toowoomba meeting.\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Continuum\u2019s trainer <B>David Matts<\/B> is also an interesting visitor for the opening contest, the Heartfelt Ceremonies with Simone Class B (800m). His base is at Coffs Harbour.\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><B>Robert Faehr<\/B>, the well known hoop in country south-east Queensland before he ventured west, starred with four winners at Birdsville\u2019s carnival last weekend. Topping his list was the Cup with its total purse of $43,800.\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Central Queensland jockey <B>Natalea Summers<\/B> is returning to an old stamping ground. Her aim is to prevail on Charlotte Rules, a galloper she now trains.\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The <B>Glenn and Hannah Richardson<\/B> combination will be in action at Thangool on Saturday. Their candidates are Rising Spirit, No Not Yet, Mr Brose and Infinite Joy with <B>Nicole Seymour<\/B> listed to ride their stablemate Lucky Time. <B>Kenji Yoshida<\/B> will be aboard Rising Spirit at Nanango if the Spirit of Boom mare competes there.\n<\/ul>\n<li>The track for the Spring Florals themed race day in Nanango was rated as a Soft 6 at acceptance time on Thursday. The rainfall tally for the previous seven days stood at 57 millimetres.\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<B><I>See you at the track!<\/I><\/B><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/2022\/09\/08\/full-fields-for-nanango-races-62\/\">Nanango Spring Races Form Guide<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/gunsynds-gossip\/\">Read more Gunsynd\u2019s Gossip columns<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nanango Race Club president Andrew Green and his father Barry will be hoping that their local turf will prove fertile on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":323804,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[564,3,58,6],"tags":[30,1136],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.11 -
