Breeders Plate at Callaghan Park next Friday November 8.

Rockhampton is getting ready for a big race day on Friday with the annual running of the $35,000 Breeders Plate at Callaghan Park. With big bonuses for QTIS registered horses, the Breeders 2YO Maiden Plate (1050m) never fails to attract interest.

Last year leading local trainer Clinton Taylor saddled up the winners of the Fillies and Colts and geldings divisions and also had success the two previous years. Taylor confirmed this week that his filly Don’tdoubthelady is a “ready made two-year-old” and said she will be nice and forward for the race. By Dubious from the Toronado mare Teeka, Don’tdoubthelady looked sharp winning a trial under Justin Stanley a couple of weeks ago at Callaghan Park.

Mackay trainer John Manzelmann is almost certain to run Power gelding, Tarong, the ¾ length second placegetter in the Pallarenda Maiden Plate (1000m) at Townsville’s Cluden Park on Cox Plate Day.
