By Renee Geelen It was revealed on Thursday by 7news.com.au that Anthony Cummings has been given an eviction notice by the Australian Turf Club (ATC) from Leilani Stables. Additionally, he has had his training licence revoked by Racing NSW and this is going through an appeals process which is understood to be concluded on Friday by the Racing Appeals Tribunal. These are two separate issues but are related to each other, as only a licenced trainer can hold a lease on ATC-owned stables. Australian Racing has a couple of rules around bankruptcy, but they don't necessarily apply to Cummings, as it is his business which is in liquidation, not himself as a person. In October 2024, Racing NSW issued a show-cause notice to Cummings with regards to his business, Rosscarbery Holdings, being liquidated, and the process around his licence has been ongoing since then. When Racing NSW revoked his licence last Friday, this triggered a clause in his lease from the Australian Turf Club for Leilani Lodge. Cummings now awaits the outcome of his appeal to the Racing Appeals Tribunal. “As it stands, Anthony has issued an appeal notification to the finding and sought a stay of proceedings which will likely be decided over the weekend or on Monday,” said Cummings' son Edward. “In the meantime, both of us have asked the ATC to give permission for me to take over the lease at Leilani so the horses' preparations aren't interrupted by this. “It's a little bit chicken and egg because only a licenced trainer can hold a lease, and I'm a licenced provisional trainer, not metro. I need Racing NSW to upgrade my licence to metro so I can take over the lease on Leilani Lodge, and we need the ATC to agree to this as well. “What I've been able to achieve on my own over the last few years is worthy of the upgrade, and the lease at Leilani. I'm an excellent candidate to take over the stables given our results on the track. We currently have a full barn with a full suite of staff and highly skilled riders, and owners who are supportive of our process.” The famous stables on High Street in Randwick have been occupied by a member of the Cummings family for over 40 years. Bart Cummings trained there until his death in 2015 when his grandson James took over. When James was given the opportunity to become head trainer at Godolphin in 2017, the stable lease was transferred to James' brother Edward and father Anthony. Anthony and Edward trained in partnership from Leilani Lodge until Edward formed Myrtle House at Hawkesbury Racecourse in 2019 where he trained on his own until August 2024.

Trainer Michael Hickmott will look to enhance the already impressive record of Fancify (NZ) (Niagara) when she runs in a Stakes race at Flemington. Fancify has won seven of her 14 starts and has an imposing record at Flemington, registering two wins and a second from three starts at the track. The Group 3 Frances Tressady Stakes (1400m) on Saturday will see Fancify attempt to add a third win over the course and distance. Fancify scored at the track and trip last June before leading throughout to claim the Group 3 HKJC Stakes on Melbourne Cup Day. “She seems to enjoy the track and it’s probably clearly her pet distance and we’re very happy with the race that we’ve found,” Hickmott said. Todd Pannell is making the trip over from Adelaide to partner Fancify on Saturday, replacing Joe Bowditch who won on the mare at Murray Bridge and Flemington last year and partnered her when a first-up second at Sandown on February 1. “Todd and Jessica (Tzaferis) ride most of my horses over here and he has done a lot of work on the horse in the background,” Hickmott said. “Unfortunately, in the last preparation she got 54 kilos on Murray Bridge Cup Day and 55 kilos on Melbourne Cup Day when she won those two races. “Todd and I discussed it, and as Joe was over here riding for me that day, he held the ride. “Joe certainly hasn’t been taken off and if she doesn’t happen to get Todd’s weight again, Joe will go back on her.” Hickmott said with the trial schedule in South Australia he was unable to get the fitness into Fancify ahead of her first-up assignment. He said Fancify had made improvement from running second to She’s Bulletproof at Sandown. “I know she has a lot of improvement left in her just with the trial schedule over here as we weren’t able to get an official trial into her and she went into the race not wound up,” Hickmott said. “This race, or the Mannerism Stakes at Caulfield next week, were always going to be her target, so I decided to run in this rather than wait for the Mannerism.” Past Saturday, Hickmott is undecided on where to head. Saturday’s 1400m trip is her preferred journey and Hickmott thinks the 1200m of the Group 1 Sangster Stakes in April may prove a bit sharp. “I just want to get through Saturday,” Hickmott said. “I would love to find 1400-metre race while her rating is around that 100 range and I think finding a nice 1400-metre handicap would be ideal.” View the full article -

Yes I think the House stable will go close to the premiership this year with the two juniors doing the steering if they keep picking up new horses. Already had a small nibble at 7.50 on the futures.
