Peter McKay heading down Guineas path with Barcelo​Trish Dunell Peter McKay hopes he will be leading Saturday's Ruakaka winner down the Guineas path. Peter McKay is hoping any feeling of déjà vu with Barcelo continues well into the youngster's three-year-old season. The Matamata trainer plans to follow a familiar path with the gelding and a programme that will ideally lead to Christchurch for the Group I New Zealand Guineas. "We'll come back here in a month for the three-year-old race in early August and go on from there," McKay said. McKay produced Barcelo to win the Tavistock Syndicate Owners' two-year-old at Ruakaka on Saturday, a race he won last year with Amarula​ who then progressed to claim the Group II Hawke's Bay Guineas, finished runner-up in the Group II Sarten Memorial and ran seventh in the Riccarton feature.
