CHAIR ADAM LENNEN CHAIR’S WELCOME GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO LADBROKES MANIKATO STAKES NIGHT AT THE VALLEY. We are thrilled to mark the spectacular return of Ladbrokes Friday Night Lights, highlighted by the $2 million Group 1 Ladbrokes Manikato Stakes. Tonight’s feature has drawn an outstanding line-up of sprinters, headlined by multiple Group 1-winning mare Lady Shenandoah and Valley specialist Baraqiel, unbeaten here in four starts and fresh from his Group 1 win in the Charter Keck Cramer Moir Stakes. The action doesn’t stop there. The Group 2 Ladbrokes Feehan Stakes is another highlight, with Treasurethe Moment on the path to the Ladbrokes Cox Plate, while last year’s winner Pride Of Jenni returns for her first run of the spring. With a golden ticket on offer into the 2025 Ladbrokes Cox Plate, it promises to be a race to remember. Away from the track, AFL Grand Final Eve brings its own buzz to The Valley. Fans can test their skills in the Kick & Win and handball competitions, meet AFL and AFLW stars, and take a shot at big prizes in the Ladbrokes Legendary Putt. The entertainment continues with live music throughout the night and a post-race concert by Joel Fletcher. You can show your support tonight by purchasing a Cox Plate Carnival Charity Pin for just $10, with all proceeds going to our official charity partner, Myeloma Australia. We are back racing here next Friday night, and then it’s on to the Ladbrokes Cox Plate Carnival, for what will be a historic occasion. Thank you for joining us, and I hope you enjoy your night on course. Moonee Valley Racing Club respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of this land, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people of the Kulin Nation, and pay our respects to its Elders past, present and emerging.

Thankyou TONIGHT'S RACE SPONSORS PRINCIPAL PARTNER CHEERING FOR CHARITY PARTNER
BOOKED FOR SUCCESS: HEATHCOTE’S GAMBLE PAYING OFF Rob Heathcote learned how to train racehorses from reading books. When he took out his trainer’s license in 1997, the likeable Queenslander had a CV which read 15 years running Contiki Tours across Europe and managing a Ski Lodge in Austria. It’s not quite what you would call the conventional résumé to preparing over 1000 winners and being Brisbane’s leading trainer on multiple occasions. Ironically, the journey of Heathcote and his now eight-year-old gelding Rothfire feels like something you could also read from a book as well. Unfashionably bred and bought sight unseen over the phone, the son of Rothesay cost Heathcote $11,000 – or so he thought.
An online scam meant Heathcote actually ended up having to pay for the horse twice. Maybe it was fait, but $22,000 later Rothfire and Heathcote first met. It’s fair to say $3.5 million dollars and seven years later Heathcote doesn’t mind having paid a little extra ‘interest’ on what has turned into his banner horse. Rothfire is now looking to follow in the footsteps of Heathcote’s original pin-up galloper Buffering who won the Manikato Stakes back in 2013. After 18 Group 1 attempts and 10 placings, his crowning moment came at The Valley holding off the Hong Kong champion in Lucky Nine. “It is one of my favourite places to come,” Heathcote said reflecting on his Valley successes. “And what a double header this weekend, Rothfire winning the Manikato and the Brisbane Lions belting the Cats… how good would that be?” Heathcote said 18-year-old Buffering even still pays a visit to his Eagle Farm stables every few months after three wins in the Moir Stakes, a Manikato Stakes and McEwen Stakes all at The Valley. Also with a McEwen Stakes win to his own name, Rothfire has a second placing to Bella Nipotina in a Ladbrokes Manikato Stakes and comes off a luckless run in the Charter Keck Cramer Moir Stakes last start. With multiple Manikato Stakes winning jockey Nash Rawiller bullish to chase the ride, Heathcote is confident the Rothfire story still has a chapter or two to come yet. “He was unlucky in the Moir and many feel had he got clear air he would have been in the finish,” he said. “He has been a challenge to train and keep sound and healthy over his career but he is in great order. “I am not here making up the numbers, ‘Rothy’ will go well he always does” Rothfire is one of five Ladbrokes Manikato Stakes runners who took the opportunity to gallop at The Valley on Monday morning alongside Lady Shenandoah, Skybird, Charm Stone and Payline.
