The immediate future of the multiple Group One winner Gingernuts will be confirmed early next week.
“We’ll make up our minds about Australia on Monday,” Te Akau principal David Ellis said.
The topic of discussion will be if Gingernuts heads to Melbourne for a crack at the A$1.5 million Gr.1 Emirates Stakes (2000m) at Flemington on November 11.
Ellis said the Stephen Autridge and Jamie Richards-trained four-year-old has pulled up well following his narrow defeat by Wait A Sec in Sunday’s Gr.1 Livamol Classic (2040m) at Hastings.
“He went a super race and we were really happy with him. It was a month between runs and the other horse (Wait A Sec) got an unbelievable run, but we had no excuses.”
