Thanks Jack.

Yes Ellen drove a great race. Terrific horsewoman and lovely lady to boot. Assume you are referring to Scott Dyer in your post. He has been with us from day one. Is a good friend now and has always looked after us and our horse. Knows our horses ability and where he is at in his prep. Stuck with us in 2yo Sires final when could have driven the winner. Drove in races at Cobram one day. Then drove all the way to Melton same day to drive 1 horse...our horse in a TRIAL. First one to say when he thinks he made a mistake. Terrific bloke and will always be our first choice of driver. Ellen is off to the US next week. Scott was down to drive our horse but he wanted Ellen to drive him so she might win one on him (3 x 2nd) before she left. One of the first to congratulate us after the race. Lucky to have 2 such great talents to drive our horse.
