Elise Archer,Minister for Racing
Congratulations to one of Tasmania’s star thoroughbreds, Mystic Journey on winning the Australian Guineas in Melbourne today.
This marks an historic day for Tasmania as the three-year-old filly is the first Tasmanian-trained horse to win a group 1 race on the mainland.
It’s great to see Tasmanian horses making their mark on the national stage, and today’s victory only strengthens the case for Mystic Journey to gain a wildcard into the $5 million All-Star Mile race on 16 March.
The Hodgman Liberal Government is a strong supporter of Tasmania’s thoroughbred racing and breeding industry providing funding of $300,000 to the sector in 2018/19.
