Victorian trainer Brent Stanley has been forced to rethink plans for his Magic Millions-bound two-year-olds due to a rule anomaly between states.

Stanley had hoped to run Coming In Hot at Canberra on Friday and Balancing Act at Rosehill on Saturday.

But under the local racing rules in NSW and the ACT, horses are required to have an official barrier trial before they race, a rule not in place in Victoria.

Stanley took Balancing Act and Coming In Hot to Ballarat for a jump-out in the lead up to the Ballarat Clockwise Classic last Saturday, a condition of accepting for the race.

But the pair were scratched after drawing wide gates.

Now Stanley has been precluded from running the juveniles in Canberra and Sydney this week because a jump-out is not classified as an official barrier trial in NSW and the ACT.

"It's irrelevant really but you've got to love Australian rules of racing," Stanley said.

"They're allowed to race the reverse way in Victoria but not in New South Wales.

"It's not the end of the world, just very frustrating."

Stanley said Coming In Hot and Balancing Act would now line up at Doomben on Saturday week as Queensland racing authorities don't require a horse to trial before it races.

"It's quite funny, they're allowed to race in Queensland, so that's where they'll head to," he said.

"The main plan is the Magic Millions so they'll head to Doomben next week."

Stanley had three two-year-olds nominated for races over the weekend and will start Giroux, who is also Magic Millions-bound, in the opening race at Moonee Valley on Saturday.

He said the idea of heading to NSW with some of his youngsters was to split his team before the Magic Millions 2YO Classic at the Gold Coast in January.

Stanley is also looking to target the Wyong Magic Millions day next month with Magical Milly and Party Bag who are also in contention for the Gold Coast feature in January.
