AGRA Run Of The Month Just A Stepping Stone

's Run of the Month for August 2010 has been awarded to Victorian sprinter , after his amazing performance to get up off the deck and win at on August 28th.

The black dog certainly had not used his red box to advantage and was almost down and out at the first turn when he narrowly missed becoming a fallen dog. He had begun okay but got buried back along the fence and copped a couple of checks and missing the fallen dog he was forced wide and again was checked between runners. However chasing hard Stepping Stone got past a couple more in the field and raced to third albeit some six lengths from the leaders, from that point he really got motoring.

As leaders started to get tied turning for home Stepping Stone raced between the leading pair got to the lead and recorded a brilliant win.

Raced by Sandown Chairman Geoff “Smokey” Dawson Stepping Stone has been a model of consistency since he started racing in August 09 and has won five city races at both the Meadows and Sandown. His come from behind win on August 28 was his fourth win on the trot after winning a heat and final at and a win at Sandown. Starting a $2.60 favourite he was strongly supported in the Adelaide where his owner watched the win with several other “doggies” who had been at for the Championships earlier in the night.

Stepping Stone is a Black dog whelped December 2007 by Bombastic Shiraz from Omega Brook (Waterview Star x Moral Girl) he is owned by and trained by Maureen Stephens from Yuroke in Victoria.

As usual we had some outstanding runs recorded in August but Stepping Stone got the nod for his hard chasing effort at the Meadows.
