A fortnight after its viability in Queensland was questioned, Patinack Farm was back in business with a winning double at Doomben on Wednesday.

Rumours that Patinack Farm would pull out of its Canungra base were ignited when owner Nathan Tinkler did not race any horses in south-east Queensland from December 19 until Magic Millions day at the Gold Coast last Saturday.

Brett Killion, who manages Patinack Farm's Queensland stable, said training facilities including a water walker and equine swimming pool were damaged by flooding to the property following several thunderstorms.

"Everything is back up and running. It's business as usual and we'll have more runners from now on," he said.

Although unsuccessful with two starters on Millions day, the Canungra-based Patinack team has quickly bounced back with winners at the Sunshine Coast and Murwillumbah in addition to Wednesday's double at Doomben from only six starters.

The stand-down of its runners stalled trainer John Thompson's momentum in the Brisbane trainer's premiership although wins by Headless and Veeten at Doomben has seen him pass Tony Gollan and move to second place behind ladder leader Robert Heathcote.

Killion said the Headless, the $3.10 favourite, is capable of measuring up to Saturday grade after her gutsy win in the Skyracing.tv Handicap (1110m).

"She's a tough little thing and genuine - I'll give her that," Killion said.

"Last time in she was only narrowly beaten in Sydney so I think there's a Saturday race in her.

"Not many horses can sit three-wide and win at Doomben. It was a decent effort."

Killion said Veeten would continue to improve when he steps up in journey after his breakthrough win.

"He'll excel when he gets up to a mile-and-a-quarter and beyond because he's such a lazy horse," he said.

"Hopefully he can build a bit of confidence from that win. He was well overdue to break his Maiden."

Veeten was ridden by Magic Millions winning jockey Michael Cahill who celebrated his 48th birthday on Wednesday.
