HORSE RACING

Summer and autumn plans coming into shape for Hayes, Griffiths

Tough and consistent: Seaburge.

It might be a few weeks yet before the top line gallopers hit the track for their big late summer and autumn assignments, but top stables up and down the country are now putting the finishing touches to long laid plans for their stars to shine when the big money races come round again in Melbourne and Sydney.

Inside running

Former jockey Chris Munce is a chance for a big payday as a trainer.

There is no doubt the punting capital of Australia will be the Gold Coast racecourse on Saturday with $10 million in prizemoney on offer in a meeting littered with interstate stables.

Bloodlines: I Am Invincible heads for six figures

Regally bred: This colt by More Than Ready from Purespeed sold for $1.3 million at the Magic Millions sales on Thursday.

A highly anticipated weekend of spectacular performances by the rags-to-riches stallion I Am Invincible during the Magic Millions carnival could have the Yarraman Park-based sire standing alongside the likes of Fastnet Rock and Snitzel as Australia's most sought-after performers Down Under.
