Favourite out of Provincial Championships Final

In a heartbreaking blow for connections, Great News has suffered a foot injury, ruling her out of the $500,000 Provincial Championships Final at Randwick.

Trainer Kim Waugh advised stewards on Friday that the mare had sustained a crack to her off-fore hoof, which had caused bruising and a pulse, forcing her withdrawal from the race.

Great News had been a popular favourite following her outstanding win in the qualifying race at Gosford two starts ago and her scratching leaves Waugh without a runner.

In a rejigged market, the Paul Perry-trained Pandano is the new top pick with TAB fixed odds at $3.00, ahead of the Kris Lees-trained pair of Cristal Breeze ($7.00) and Animate ($9.00).

First emergency High Court has now been elevated into the field and is a $71.00 chance for trainer Jeff Englebrecht.
