Whypeeo not certain starter in MM Guineas

Whypeeo is not a certain starter in the Magic Millions Guineas with trainer Toby Edmonds to also accept with the gelding in the Magic Millions Snippets.

The fields for the 2YO Classic (1200m) and the Guineas (1400m) were finalised on Tuesday with all other acceptances for Saturday’s Gold Coast showpiece meeting on Wednesday.

Edmonds told Queensland stewards of his intentions after Whypeeo drew barrier 16 of 18 in the Guineas.

He will make a final decision by 5pm (AEST) on Wednesday.

If Edmonds decides to run Whypeeo in the Snippets, stablemate I Am Impinge will gain a start in the Guineas as first emergency.

Stewards said Jeff Lloyd would ride I Am Impinge if he got a Guineas start, leaving Matt Dunn to find a rider for Arrestar.
