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.

The much-anticipated debut of Home Affairs colt Guest House lived up to expectation at Cranbourne on Saturday when the powerhouse youngster overcame trouble to win the $150,000 Clamms Seafood Handicap (1000m) for the Price Kent stable.
