Despite a calendar change, Sunday’s nine-race card in Launceston will still have a distinct Magic Millions flavour.

After a month off, night racing returns to Launceston on Friday for an eight-race program.

The Devonport duo of trainer Adam Trinder and his stable apprentice Erica Byrne Burke combined to win the feature race on the program, the $50,000 Golden Mile (1650m) in Devonport on Friday.

Geegees Gemstone proved he could match it with the best stepping up to open class for the first time and scoring a decisive win in the Members Hcp over 1100m in Launceston on Wednesday night.

Fresh from a 10-day break in Hawaii, trainer Gary White is hoping to offset the holiday expenses with the small team he is taking to Launceston on Wednesday night.
