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.

New Zealand-bred gelding Klabel capped a consistent run of form with a welcome return to the winners’ circle in the A$120,000 Listed Adelaide Galvanising Industries Christmas Handicap (1200m) at Morphettville on Saturday.
