Race: 1 – SA Reinswomen’s Association Shetland Trot

First race of the night had a field of seven taking to track. With all ponies trotting nicely when the starter said go, out in front was Swamp Fire followed from Pee Wee 50, Eddy’s A Fake, Midnight Star, Ben Ten, Crackerjack and It’s All About Me.

Rounding the bend into the home straight Swamp Fire was still in front but Eddy’s A Fake and Midnight Star were closing quickly on him, halfway down the straight Midnight Star hit the lead but jumped side-ways at something and lost all winning chance, Swamp Fire kicked back on the inside and went on to win by 5 metres from the fast finishing Pee Wee 50 and back in third placing was Midnight Star.

Race: 2 – SA Reinswomen’s Association Trot

The next race only had four ponies going around. When the flag went down all ponies trotted off nicely with Born To Be Wild the early leader off the front mark from Aadelaidee Lady, Cowboy Road and the back marker Chilli Knights. This order didn’t change until heading into the straight when Born To Be Wild let a few bucks rip and Aadelaidee Lady took over the lead and went on to win by 10 metres from Chilli Knights and not far away in third was Cowboy Road.
