N.Z. stayer’s ‘workout’
The tough New Zealand stayer, Prince Majestic, the favourite for the $175,000 Fourex Cup (2200 m at Doomben on July 9, will get the solid workout he badly needs at Eagle Farm today. His trainer, Ray Verner, is using the $50,000 Tattersail’s Cup (2200 m as Prince Majestic’s final lead-up race for his main aim this campaign — the Fourex Cup. Verner said Prince Majestic, which has been installed as the 9-to-4 favourite for the Tattersail’s Cup, has missed valuable work because of Queens-
land’s wet weather and it will be a real test for the five-year-old today with his big weight of 58kg in the heavy ground. “Prince Majestic is one horse who really needs grass tracks to bring him to a peak but all I have been able to get for him lately is unsuitable sand surfaces at the Gold Coast,” Verner said. “But I suppose most other trainers have been in the same predicament so the gelding should still give his lighter-weighted opponents a run for their money.”
