This a mighty fine record by the owners and G.Hall snr
2 Cups in 6 days for Shadow Sax as he adds the Geelong Cup to his Stawell Cup and takes his career stakes past $300k and he is only a third of the way into his 5yo season. He has now won 16 of 24 and the only time he has missed a place were 4ths at his very first two starts
Yes he was very good, it wasnt a bad field either. Tee Cee Bee Macray never seems to perform in the cup races even though he has/was been touted as a the next big thing. He does'nt get a lot of good draws but neither do others.
I see the Howlett family in the winners circle last night at Auckland taking out the first 2yo race of the season in NZ.
Congratulations to John Caldow for 4 winners in succession at Melton tonight - I reckon it might have been a while since JC drove a quaddie

Congratulations to David Wyborn (poster Jimbob) - his 4yo trotting mare Margaret Jean has won her last two very nicely

Thanks Kevin, after all the struggles we have had with her, she is starting to show what we thought she could do all along. Fingers crossed she can keep on working through her class rises and find a nice feature race or better somewhere down the track!

Congrats to Ararat driver Michael Bellman for a metro double at Melton tonight
Somebody must have expected it as the running double was massively under at only $38

Tommy Hill drove his first winner at Melton last night with Warminster. The first graduate of the Melton arm of the Bendigo Harness Training Centre

fair dinkum....the younger generation are pretty good at giving themselves a wrap!
I wouldn't place much credibility in the reporting when the journo calls the horse a galloper!
LOL "it was like starting from scratch"Quote:

The Trotting Annals of Bendigo and Environs, by the amazing John Peck, purchased by the Bendigo Library, are up and running.
Over 300 pages of searchable PDF, 15,500 or more race results from 1855 till 1954, 200 photos and great articles about the origins of both the Bendigo Jockey Club ( where the first trots were held) and the Sandhurst Trotting Club.
The research section of the Bendigo Library, has 2 computers dedicated to geneology. The Trottting Annals are on both of these computers. The search is easy to use, and the Research Staff are already familiar with the resource and ready to assist. So you can find anyone who raced, trained or owned horses around Bendigo during and after the gold-rush, the horses and the results.
It's an amazing resource, and another really good reason to come to Bendigo. The Library is open till 6 on weekdays, and till 3PM on Saturdays. They have great coffee too !
I just said to him 'what have you done'
Got to love this from the Melton APG fillies heats. From Blake Redden, thetrots.com.au
There are a number of moments a trainer will never forget as their career unfolds and we saw one of those at Tabcorp Park Melton on Saturday night.
Kate Hargreaves and Alex Ashwood produced the lightly raced filly Ideally Say Yes to take out a heat of the rich Australian Pacing Gold series in what was a tough win from the breeze.
It wasn't Hargreaves first win at Victorian HQ but it will be just as memorable as claiming the first race on Del-Re National A. G. Hunter Cup night last year.
The filly arrived in her heat at just her fourth start but now she heads to Sydney to take on the best fillies available in the $350,000 Group 1 final on April 28.
"We went up to the yearling sales to buy a horse and we went through the process and picked out a few we liked and we had planned on syndicating the one we bought but it didn't work out and all of the horses we had our eye on went for too much money," Hargreaves said.
"I was ready to head home, a bit disappointed we hadn't been able to purchase anything and I heard in the sale ring a filly went for $8000 and I looked around to see where Alex (Ashwood, partner) was so we could leave and he had bid on this filly.
"He thought he had brought a colt at the time but it ended up being this girl and we got her home and she didn't have the best legs and I just said to him 'what have you done'.
"We were really lucky that a few people like Shannon and Paul Nixon were willing to buy in to help us out and a few of my friends from work purchased their first share in a horse, so it's pretty exciting for everyone."
All the best to Kate and Alex with their trip to Sydney.
Luck > Science
Congratulations again to our Jimbob with Margaret Jean winning another 2 (from her last 3 starts)
Since Chris Svanosio took over the training she has won 4 to make her record 5 wins from 23 starts
Well done to the Mildura Club for a successful Cup Carnival. If you haven't been to Mildura for this experience, put it on your 'to do' list, and include the river boat cruise.
Michelle Phillips drove her first winner at Ballarat last night. Michelle was the first HRV/Gippsland Harness Training Centre internship winner.
And win number two today, with Fratellino at Maryborough!Quote:

A regular reader alerted me to the fact that Anne and Bill Anderson may have achieved a first:
They had 4 horses compete in the Breeders Crown (heats and semis) They all won their heat and all won their semi
WOW ! They could have a future in this game those two ;) Congratulations
http://www.harness.org.au/racing/fie...N180818&ms=vic
Outstanding.. Congrats!
Any breeding insights?
