THE best way Bart Cummings can celebrate his birthday this week is with another Group win by stable warrior Precedence.
Precedence was yesterday among 12 nominations for Saturday's Group 2 Zipping Classic (2400m), which has been transferred from Sandown to Caulfield.
Cummings had the last laugh on Saturday when Precedence held on to win the Queen Elizabeth Stakes - but only after the Victoria Racing Club refused to play ball and grant his horse a start in last Tuesday's Melbourne Cup.
Such was the outrage over the VRC's decision to snub Cummings a crack at winning his 13th Cup, a public campaign was started in Precedence's honour.
Now an eight-year-old, Precedence is sure to make his trainer feel a lot younger should he win the Zipping Classic.
Cummings turns 86 on Thursday.
Grandson and Bart's training partner James Cummings indicated a final call on starting Precedence would be made tomorrow.
Precedence has hit a real purple patch of form. He won the Moonee Valley Cup two starts back before he backed it up at Flemington on Saturday, and finished third in this race last year.
While nobody will be upset about a Cummings' big-race triumph, you have to wonder how much longer the local trainers and owners will put up with other Sydney trainers, jockeys and horses picking off the carnival spoils.
Sydney trainers again have a decent presence down south, with Darley chief Peter Snowden (Paximadia and Champollion), Gai Waterhouse (Equator and Ryker) and Anthony Cummings (Best Case and Forget Maybe) all well represented in the Group 2 Sandown Guineas (1600m).
However, man of the moment Chris Waller has just Thubiaan (Sandown Cup) and She's Clean (Summoned Stakes) entered for the entire transferred program.
Closer to home, at Rosehill on Saturday trainer John O'Shea's smart mare White Sage will try to shoot for a fourth straight career win when required to lump 59.5kg in a 1350m event.
