Carisbrook trainer Brett Shipway hasn't got a market favourite in Sunday's TAB Breeders Crown Finals at Melton. In fact he doesn't even have a favourite of his own among his three runners. 'Shippy' doesn't play favourites.

"They're all characters with their own personality," he says of his horses with genuine affection.

"They enjoy themselves. They're having fun ... they're not superstars but they have a dip."

Shipway will saddle up Bebubbalouie in the Aldebaran Park Breeders Crown 2YO Trotting Colts and Geldings Final and both Louieville Lass and Di Li in the 2YO Fillies Final on Sunday at Tabcorp Park Melton.

"They've gone really good," he said of his two-year-olds' campaigns. "It's good to see them all make it there."
