Heza Conman provided Neil Mann with his second winner on the day when defeating Ken Gill's Can't Be Late. Slipper's Sweet provided the upset of the day when defeating the Ray Barkla trained Datz Gotem.
Owners/Trainers are reminded that there are only 2 more racing dates prior to the Waterloo, Oaks and Derby – all these events are 16-dog which means 4 runs for the final pair. The Club has scheduled some Prelude races for the 12 August meeting and these will be 8-dog events to help prepare your charges for the additional runs. This meeting is 3 weeks prior to our final event to assist you with a reasonable break before our final meeting. Nominations for our next meeting close with GRSA at 9.00 am on Wednesday 1 August.
