Matty Craven had 6 drives on the 7 race program at Stawell today and he drove 4 winners - he is pretty bloody good

The average price of his 4 winners was $17

Only 7 races at Stawell and yet we had 3 trainers win their first for the season
Congratulations to David Sweatman, Joanne Franklin and Chris Svanosio
(Rebecca East won her second for the season)

Good return by Jaccka Clive tonight suggests the FFAers will have a bit more competition.
It would seem as though his dam who is also the dam of Our Malabar never had the chance to prove how good a broodmare she may have been.
She died at 8 before these two even raced and going on how many of this family/breeder died on the same day, it is unlikely it was of natural causes

Grass racing will be showcased on SKY2 tomorrow from Deagon in Queensland, and a good program has been put together. Why couldn't this be tried in Victoria?

I know we are talking late 3yo's but the Maryborough track must have been very fast today as Barimah made it 2 wins from 2 starts when he worked to the lead and rated 1.55.8 today.
Game We Play never left the fence but coming from last at the 400m he possibly broke 27sec for his last Q

Both horses out of fast 'dames' - Classy Sheila and Pink Fur Dice

Watching max music on mtv and they have top 100 aussie rock songs. Coming in at no 3 was Midnight Oils Power and the Passion. Whilst taking a keen interest in what Garrett must describe as dancing I caught a glimpse of what I believe was Vin Knights colours putting a gap on them at what looked to be Moonee Valley. Wow!!! Glory days.
