RESULTS

Thanks to Jodie Billinger and Sharon Newman for taking photos tonight

The President of the South Australian Harness Racing Club, Peter Marshall also handed out the ribbons to the placegetters of the Slow Medium Class and praised the children on the presentation of their ponies.

The first race of the night the Slow Class was an even affair as Lord Monty driven by Jacob Starick sprinted down the straight to win easily. Born To Be Wild scored himself a third Saturday night second in a row and a length away in third position went to Magpie Mary who raced quite wide throughout most of the race.

The Medium Slow Class was arguably the race of the night as troubled pony Wynkie Sweet Fairytales shocked the crowd as she behaved herself and won quite comfortably leading from start to finish. The winner won by more than 50 metres as Mr Mischief and Little Kizz rounded out the placings.

Almost a deadheat Oungachucka 1st and Wandarra Tess 2nd

A very happy Chantelle with her first winner Oungachucka

A special night for the combination of Chantelle and her mum Jane. Their friend Richard Marsden was over from Perth where they previously had lived and Chantelle was out to impress. Her wish came true with Jodie winning on Wynkie Sweet Fairytales and herself winning on Oungachucka. Congratulations.

The Shetlands always produce a close finish but that would be an understatement as tonights race was very close to a dead heat. Oungachucka got up for his first win of the season when he raced down the inside to beat the fast finishing Wandarra Tess on the line. Chantelle Rendall was ecstatic with her first win as her fans cheered extremely loudly down the home straight. My Little Pony made amends from his race at Kapunda where he was very naughty but tonight raced very pleasingly and finished a well deserved third.

The Medium Class was anyone’s race with 100m to go but Monkey Business driven by Chantelle Dodd found something in the dying stages to beat Little Paleface to the line. Cheeky Charlie had to settle for third but is steadily improving and will be a chance next week.
