Weight can sometimes stop a train, but Tony Gollan’s Better Than Ready gelding carried top weight to victory in Saturday’s $200,000 Listed BRC Magic Millions Falvelon (1200m) at Eagle Farm with the win securing the gelding automatic entry to the $1m Magic Millions Snippets (1200m) on January 17.

Kiwi bred Tavistock gelding Tavi Time made it back to back wins in the $250,000 Group III ATC Summer Cup at Randwick on Boxing Day (2000m) putting the spotlight on his half-brother headed to Karaka Book 1 for Pencarrow Stud.
