"An early birthday gift for the royal family&apos;s expected new arrival isn&apos;t on Zara Phillips&apos; shopping list at the Magic Millions yearling sale. While the Olympic equestrian says she&apos;s not after a pony for Prince William&apos;s unborn child, however, she&apos;s considering buying into a thoroughbred with a few chums. &quot;No, no presents, though I was thinking about getting some of the girls together in a syndicate,&quot; Ms Phillips told AAP on Tuesday. &quot;Maybe next year.&quot; The Queen&apos;s granddaughter is spending a week on the Gold Coast as the ambassador for the Magic Millions carnival&apos;s Racing Women initiative. The brainchild of Magic Millions owner Katie Page-Harvey, the initiative is aimed at boosting the numbers of female jockeys, trainers and owners in Australia. It&apos;s a cause close to the London Olympic silver medallist&apos;s heart. Ms Phillips said she was only too happy to lend her support and she hoped a horse with a female owner would win Saturday&apos;s $2 million Magic Millions Classic. &quot;Men have always traditionally been portrayed as the owners and whatever, while women are supposed to just come along,&quot; Ms Phillips said. &quot;We want to change that and ensure more are taking part as the decision-makers.&quot; Ms Phillips&apos; hectic schedule won&apos;t allow her much time to explore the Gold Coast, though she was hoping for a couple of excursions. Upon her return home, she will begin planning for another tilt at the Olympics in 2016, while husband Mike Tindall wants her to help train a horse he bought with some of his rugby union friends after it won the Welsh National last weekend. &quot;He&apos;s only just told me about that. I&apos;m not sure what he wants me to do,&quot; she said. &quot;I&apos;ll look at it when I get home.&quot;"
