SPORT NEWS TIPS sport@tbw.com.au Mount Gambier 08 8723 8989 Fierce racing Minty and Lucy win pony trots THE Harness Racing meeting saw the junior drivers ready to race at Greenwald Paceway for the Barker Family Handicap and also the major race for the night, The Young Drivers of the Future Cup. Race 1 – Sponsored by the Barker family THE Barker Family Handicap was a tightly contested affair. Stacey Barker was welcomed back aboard 28-year-old experienced pony trotter, Marmalade, who set the stakes higher for the night. Courtney Sealey attempted to drive her cousin’s lightning fast pony, Lucy. This saw promising results until Pee Wee Penny with Evie Sealey and Minty and Jessica Shepherd sprinted down the home straight with nothing to lose, fighting it out against Lucy (Courtney Sealey). Minty managed to get first place. However, it was not all over for Lucy, sprinting to the finish line, ending up with second place. The fierce combination of Pee Wee Penny and Evie Sealey received third place for the tense race. Blaze and Amber Formosa worked hard for fourth as they finished the race. Stacey Barker and Marmalade were just warming up ready for the second race which was the Young Drivers of the Future Cup where they were going to show their true spirit. Jacob Opperman worked Jackim to his full abilities all the way from the 600 metre mark. Race 2 – Young Drivers of the Future Cup sponsored by P&L Livestock and Real Estate THERE were a few changes to the field for the Young Drivers of the Future Cup, with Keeley Formosa on Lucy. Pee Wee Penny started well, leading the field of ponies. It wasn’t until Lucy and Formosa closed the gap that Pee Wee Penny and Sealey realised they were in real danger and in hot pursuit. Lucy stormed home, lengthening her stride over the finish line. Keeley Formosa had a smile from ear to ear and was proud that she had her first win for the season. Second went to Pee Wee Penny who could not catch the leader. Marmalade and Barker who come all the way from Hamilton each meeting received third placing for their efforts. Next over the line were Jackim (Jacob Opperman), Minty (Jessica Shepherd), Jerry (Nicola Bowditch) and last but not least Blaze (Amber Formosa). The club thanks P&L Livestock, K&S Fuels and the Barker family for their support during the season.
