10 Lady Drivers with our SAHRPA young drivers

To kick start tonight’s return of pony racing was the Shetland class, with a field of seven lining up. When the starter said go PJ was an early leader being off the front followed by his stable mate Razzle Dazzle, with Ben Ten running third, and then we had Midnight Star, Crackerjack, Jimmy Cricket and the back maker Wandarra Tess.

Heading into the straight PJ still had a good lead over Razzle Dazzle and Ben Ten, Crackerjack Jimmy Cricket were both pulled to the outside to make their late runs with Wandarra Tess taking the shortest way home on the fence. Half way down the running it was a two pony race between Crackerjack and Wandarra Tess, they were stride for stride with 30 metres to go when Wandarra Tess pulled away and went on to win b y 5 metres from Crackerjack in second and in third was Jimmy Cricket who made his return to racing after many years.

The next was the open class with eight going around. The early leader was Born To Be Wild followed by Aadelaidee Lady, Way To Go, Little Kizz, Aussie, Chilli knights and the two back markers Mr Mischief and Lapanacaton.

Heading into the straight Way To Go took over the lead from Born To Be Wild and was making every post a winner out in front, with Little Kizz holding third from Aussie and Mr Mischief was pulled to the outside to make his run. Way To Go went on to be an easy winner by 15 metres, Born To Be Wild held on for second and Little Kizz ran third.

A big thank you goes out to Rehn Nagel who made the trip from Port Pirie to call a pony race.

When the flag went down Lapanacaton accelerated from his mark and was out chasing the front marker and leader Razzle Dazzle follow by Ben Ten, Aadelaidee Lady, Reggie Ledgie, Wandarra Tess, Way To Go, Crackerjack, Cowboy Road and Jimmy Cricket.

Lapanacaton took over the lead at Norman’s Gate and went for home; Aadelaidee Lady was finishing strongly down the outside with Way To Go running into third. Lapanacaton, Chantal Turpin went on win by 20 metres from Aadelaidee Lady, Leah Harvey second and Way To Go, Jodi Quinlan finished third.
