Steven Reid finds out today where Star Galleria is really at.
While that could be the case for many of his rivals in the Flying Stakes at Ashburton, for Pukekohe trainer Reid and his speed freak pacer it feels like there is more at stake.
A booming performance today and Star Galleria remains a serious New Zealand Cup player and a horse worth aiming at the Inter Dominions. But if he doesn't shine, Reid admits he will start to worry.
Star Galleria started this season as he ended last, showing brilliant speed to win and soon after huge money offers were pouring in from Australia.
Reid and his owners decided to keep the five-year-old, who has been beaten in the next two - one when luckless, the other fair and square after leading at Methven last Sunday.
