Karnup trainer Jason Miller is looking forward to the Ascot summer carnival with his top-class mares Bonjoy (Maschino) and Admiration Express (My Admiration) and he’s already making plans for a classic campaign in the autumn with Herault (Gingerbread Man).

Just a week after his much-loved flag-bearer Red Can Man was retired, Yarradale Stud stallion Gingerbread Man unearthed a debut winner who can develop into another black-type galloper of the future.

Yarradale Stud sires Gingerbread Man and Shooting To Win combined for an international double on Thursday and a Yarradale-bred graduate can put the icing on the cake at Ascot on Saturday.

Ron Sayers was a mining industry leader in the Goldfields as the founder of Ausdrill and he was also a legend in the racing and breeding industries at Yarradale Stud in Gidgegannup.

Victorian syndicator First Light Racing has a readymade flag-bearer in Perth with its impressive 3yo filly Spicy Thang.
