Toowoomba trainer Lindsay Hatch is unlikely to add recent stable acquisition Beauty Boom to his team for the 2023 Northern Queensland Winter Racing Carnival if the three-year-old adds to his winning record at Gatton on Tuesday.

Beauty Boom will chase QTIS prize money for the last time this season in the Three-Year-Old Benchmark 62 Handicap over 860 metres.

Lindsay Hatch has 14 horses stabled up north for the winter carnival but is reluctant to add Beauty Boom to his carnival team.

"He turns four soon so really there's no chance he'd go north but then again if he wins there's always a possibility," Hatch said.

"This is his last chance for him to win some QTIS prize money and he should be very hard to beat."

Beauty Boom has only been in Hatch's stables for two starts after he got a phone call out of the blue from part-owner Andrew Rogers.

"I got a call one day from Andrew asking me if I'd train him so I said yes," Hatch said.

"I had never met Andrew or his father before and they are first time owners for me."

Rogers races Beauty Boom in partnership with his parents Noel and Sue Rogers.

They also shared in the ownership of former top sprinter Spurcraft who started 34 times for 10 wins and nine placings with prize money earnings of more than $462,000.
