    Geegee Blackprince could be the first Americain to race in Australia after pleasing trainer Stuart Gandy in a barrier trial earlier this month. Gandy and the colt’s owner-breeders Paul & Elizabeth Geard will assess his progress before deciding on a start in the Debutante Stakes (900m) at Elwick on November 1.
