Queensland Guineas the focus for Gotta Kiss Posted by: Mediality Racing+ at 3:22pm on 15/2/2021 Image: Darren Winningham
The Queensland Guineas will be the winter carnival goal for luckless filly Gotta Kiss
The three-year-old returned to the stables of Steve O’Dea and Matt Hoysted on Monday.
“She’s had a bit of time off after the Magic Millions and has just finished some pre-training out at Kolora Lodge,” Hoysted said.
Gotta Kiss will be given a steady build up before she is aimed at the winter carnival where the Queensland Guineas (1600m) at Eagle Farm will be her primary focus.

A colt born in the UK to southern hemisphere time by super European sire Kingman provided the benchmark on another extraordinary day of trade when selling for A$1.8 million (£1.02m/€1.14m) at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale on Wednesday.
Even the most bullish industry pundits and stakeholders did not predict, at least publicly, the insatiable appetite shown by buyers during the first two sessions of the seven-day auction, which resulted in four million-dollar lots being sold on Wednesday as the key metrics kept pace with the corresponding figures from the past two years.
While a colt by Not A Single Doubt broke the seven-figure barrier before midday, it was the son of Kingman who stole the show, his sale coming less than 24 hours after it was announced that the stallion’s owner-breeder, Juddmonte Farms founder Prince Khalid Abdullah, had died aged 83.
