Stablemates Gypsy Fair and Madonna Mia are both running out of chances, but for contrasting reasons.

The former will go for a break with the advent of the better tracks while motherhood beckons the stable stalwart Madonna Mia.

“She will be going to Sweynesse so we’re hoping she can get in foal quickly and perhaps race on,” said New Plymouth trainer and part-owner Allan Sharrock.

Sweynesse was a dual Group Three winner and multiple Group One placegetter before his retirement to Novara Park, the Cambridge farm owned by Luigi Muollo who also shares in the ownership of Madonna Mia.

The stakes winner of nine races will be out to make the most of a chance at further black type when she runs in Saturday’s Gr.3 Merial Ancare Metric Mile at Awapuni.

“She’s worked up super and she’s in good order,” Sharrock said. “There’s not really any other races for her and then she’ll back up at Hastings over 2000 metres.”

Gypsy Fair will be among Madonna Mia’s Awapuni rivals after an unlucky last-start fifth at Wanganui where she was hemmed in on the fence all the way down the straight.

“I’ve reluctantly put her in, I don’t usually like them to go from 1200 metres to 1600 but she is out of a Zabeel mare and we’re running out of wet tracks for her,” Sharrock said.

“We won’t get too many more and she’ll go away fairly soon with the winter over.”

Gypsy Fair has fashioned a tidy record with five wins and 10 placings from her 18 appearances.
