It is as part of the popular Christmas-New Year programme of kid's carts that will ensure Bailey is kept busy at Ruakaka tomorrow.
She will be taking two ponies to Ruakaka on the float with the two racehorses and is looking forward to competing in the two races on the day.
"I always make sure she takes two ponies so if any kid hasn't got one she can use one of Bailey's," Rogerson said. "She's doing very well in the kid's cart races. She won the two at Te Awamutu and the two at Pirongia and also won one at Cambridge."
Bailey Rogerson is kept almost as busy as her workaholic grandfather, particularly this week as she will also be driving in the kid's pony cart races at Cambridge on Friday and Thames on Sunday.
Meantime she is also helping look after her two gallopers and two standardbreds.
"She's got two good trotters, Chocolate Brownie and Banana Smoothie, and her two gallopers are Littlemisschatabox [made her debut at Thames yesterday] and Mr Chez."
Mr Chez has shown a lot of staying promise and is being aimed at the Group I Telecom NZ Derby (2400m) at Ellerslie on March 3. He has already competed in a Derby, his last start being in the Group I Victoria Derby (2500m) at Flemington on October 29.
"He didn't go too bad in the VRC Derby, but it came up a bit too soon for him," Rogerson said.
"He's just been a bit immature and we're hoping to get to the New Zealand Derby with him. There's a lot of water to go under the bridge between now and then, though."
Mr Chez is a son of Rogerson's own sire, Duelled, who was represented last season by the Group I Queensland Derby winner Shootoff. His dam is the one-race winner Tittletaat, who hails from the family of the top galloper Avedon (Gr I NZ 2000 Guineas and Gr I Waikato Draught Sprint).
Mr Chez had been a trials winner over 1000 metres at Te Teko last August before finishing fifth on debut at Taupo 10 days later then winning later in the month over 1600 metres at Tauranga.
Rogerson then took Mr Chez straight to Melbourne to try and earn a start in the Victoria Derby and after a first-up 11th of 13 at Caulfield over 1700 metres the horse showed his liking for the longer distances when third over 2000 metres at Seymour and fourth over 2200 metres in the Listed Geelong Classic at Geelong.
Second home in the Geelong Classic was Induna, who clashed with Mr Chez in the Victoria Derby and finished second to Cambridge three-year-old Sangster, prepared by Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young.
On his return Mr Chez has been freshened and given one trial, at Te Aroha on December 20 when he found the 1200 metres far too short.
Mr Chez was ridden in the trial by James McDonald, who will again take the reins tomorrow. McDonald will also ride stablemate Parvati in the two-year-old race.
"Parvati should have won her first start. I don't know how she got beaten," said Rogerson.
Parvati, a daughter of Savabeel co-bred by Rogerson, had been runner-up in the second of her two trials then finished second to Sir Elmo over 1000 metres at New Plymouth on December 27.
