Shaun Matcott Does A Good Days Work
Everybody breathed a sigh of relief when the forecast didn't come true for our meeting.
In fine, breezy but sunny conditions a small race program went off like clockwork.
Shaun Matcott led in a double with Zena Bale and Dyna Dilly winning their respective events. Michael Giniotis returned and Wot Price Curly duly saluted the judge for him.
Tim Ieraci, Laurie Cahalan and Barry Jones went home happy when Mumma's Passion, Claretown Jocka and Slipper's Luck all earnt a winner's cheque.
Time honours for the day went to Slipper's Luck with a speedy 15.08.
Our next meeting is scheduled for 19 June with normal graded events.
