Default Stevie's horse is named Ilumne
Racing ahead to next year
November 13, 2006 12:00am

WITH the Cup Carnival wrapped up for another year, tour promoter and A-list marquee host Andrew McManus is already eagerly awaiting next year's festivities.

And for good reason too -- McManus has quietly bought into a young horse with music legend Stevie Nicks, Gai Waterhouse and gaming magnate Bruce Mathieson.
The group hopes the horse, Ilumne, will be ready to run in a three-year-old race on Derby Day next year, which Nicks is planning to travel over from the US to see.

The partnership came about after the Fleetwood Mac singer visited Flemington last year as McManus's guest. The singer was one of the stars of the Birdcage.

Nicks apparently fell in love with racing and wanted to be a part of it. "Stevie picked it. But it had to be a good one, because Stevie can't be associated with a loser," McManus said.

Ilumne is currently being trained and will most likely run its first race this month.

I think the Birdcage is the name of a party, they're not referring to the movie.

I'm so sorry Stevie. I'm totally losing you. But then again, you don't want to be associated with a loser anyway. Thank god, me neither.

Any thoughts on the $25,000 she just raised for the charity she's founded?

I think any performer who has the ability to think past their own nose, and do something good for the world, is a winner.
