3^rd           Westbury Bogart – Jacinta Gilbert

Scr          Spirit – Shannon Platts

Scr          Mr Murphy –

A popular crowd favourite with her distinct brown and white markings, Magpie Mary driven by Jodie Billinger gave Kaycee Carey an early birthday present to lead all the way and win the first pony race.  There were six scratchings in this pony race due to Christmas festivities and concerts so all pony’s and drivers were guaranteed a medal.

With the small field it was a good opportunity for Jacinta Gilbert to drive her own pony last weeks winner Westbury Bogart.   As it is both Westbury Bogart and Jacinta’s first season racing Jacob Starick has been driving him in the larger fields.

RACE 2 – MEDIUM SLOW CLASS

1^st           Wynkie Sweet Fairytales – Jodie Billinger

2^nd          Chilli Knights – Brodie Webster

3^rd           Mr Mischief –

Scr          Little Kizz – Christie Gilbert

Scr          Mission Impossible – Samantha Pascoe

Scr          Way To Go – Kathryn Lehmann

Another of the races where the pony’s and drivers were guaranteed a medal , this time three scratchings.  Wynkie Sweet Fairytales took advantage of being the only pony on the front line and trotted faultlessly out in front to give Jodie Billinger a double.   Fairy is becoming quite a handful for young Chantelle Rendall and her mum to load on the float each week but hopefully by winning tonight she may be forgiven.

RACE 3 – SHETLAND CLASS

1^st           Till We Meet Again – Brodie Webster

2^nd          Wandarra Tess – Jack Wenham

3^rd           Oungachucka – Chantelle Rendall

4^th           Ben Bailey – Grayden Richter

5^th           Midnight Star – Jodie Billinger

6^th           PJ – Bryce Gilbert

7^th           Talking Donkey – Katelin Richter

Scr          My Little Pony – Jennifer Lehmann

Scr          Billy The Kid – Brett Lowe

Who  doesn’t love to watch the little Shetland’s trot around, some of them don’t go much faster than a walk but they are so gorgeous and all look very similar.  For two weeks in a row Till We Meet Again won and Wandarra Tess finished second.  A very close finish for third placing with Oungachucka beating Ben Bailey by a half head.

RACE 4 – MEDIUM CLASS

1^st           Cheeky Charlie – Jacob Starick

2^nd          Monkey Business – Chantelle Dodd

3^rd           Aussie – Jodie Billinger

Scr          Little Paleface –

Scr          Sundance – Brett Lowe

Only two scratching in the final event but once again all were guaranteed a medal.  Monkey Business driven by Chantelle Dodd was trotting nicely out in front until Cheeky Charlie driven by Jacob Starick got his momentum going and went straight past to score an easy win in stylish fashion.  Maybe next week Chantelle.
