Two New Stars Ignite Virginia Coursing
The Michael Louth owned Parsipanny took to coursing like a duck to water – albeit her dam was a good straight track dog when taking out the Oaks Prelude and Don Turner has turned up with another smart youngster when McLovin won the Derby Prelude.
Justin Penn won the Novice event with Backyard Brawler and Cool Illusion broke his ‘bridesmaid' status when winning his Maiden for Trevor Whelan. Fast Test won for Corey Ormsby and Lil Dani provide Ken McAuley with a winner and Registered took out a Maiden Stake for Christine Smith.
If 16 nominations are received for the Oaks and Derby, the first round will be run on Saturday 19 including the first round of the Waterloo Cup. Supporting events will be run and depending on numbers, the Club will determine the placement of these events – either Saturday or Sunday.
