Dual Group 1 winner Magic Time will skip the Group 1 Tatts Tiara (1400m) after finishing nearly ten lengths behind Stefi Magnetica in Queensland’s premier Group 1 race, the Stradbroke Handicap (1400m), over the weekend.
Melbourne trainer Grahame Begg announced that Magic Time, who claimed the Group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke (1400m) and Group 1 All Aged Stakes (1400m) this season, will be taking a break.
“(Eagle Farm) was a very funny track as it was hard and loose on top,” Begg told Racing.com.
“She had excuses in the Kingsford Smith as she twisted a plate when jumping and also got galloped on in the race.
“I’ll give her a month and then assess whether we need to give her longer or not. It’s a tight turnaround, though.”
