Mt Barker Review / Pictures February 16th

Apprentices Damien Lane and Kyra Yuill led all riders at Mt Barker last Tuesday on an Overcast day with misty rain. Lane won with On The Double and Golden Dynamo from seven rides, whilst Yuill had a consistent day with a winning ride on Diamond Royale in the first and then followed up with four seconds from six rides. Smart galloper Star Buck made it three wins in succession with a very good effort over 1200m.

Race One:Diamond Royale who has battling to get a start, began well and raced away to win easily from Dark N Stormy who ran an honest race. Sonny Biscay at his second race start was doing his best work at the finish to just get third ahead of favorite comfortably and Royal Escapade.


Race Two: Jockey Damien Miller’s only ride for the day Audrey Rose began well from a wide draw and ran them off their legs coming away to win from Lukaston who was a good effort after racing wide, and Sunset who continues to improve. Favorite Hussonace was under pressure from the corner and struggled into fourth place.


Race Three: Rejuvenated Attadale made it two wins in a row with a fighting victory over Telexden who was an excellent run, racing first up at 1850m after been off the scene since September. Favorite Movie World looked flat and finished a distant third ahead of Don’t Tell Toby.
Race Four: Racso who had not won for sometime took off from near the rear at the 500m and kept going to win at odds from a gallant He’s Smokin by a Short Neck. Impact Rating racing second up caught the eye finishing on for third, and looking to have come back well with the Mt Barker Cup his likely mission. Favorite Lovely Lucy led but was under pressure on the corner and faded away, with Titcherman never looking a winning chance.

Race Five: Kooyong Road after been three wide early took over the running at the 100m and the led all the way to win well over Rivotio who finished on for a fair second and Megablitz again in the placings. Majestic Range was a fair effort to finish fourth.


Race Six: On The Double looked the standout here but it took to the the last 30m to get the upper hand and win by ½ length over the fast finishing Maiden grey Jarnac, who is close to a win. St Peregrine battled away just tiring the last bit to run third ahead of Disrupt who continues to
improve.

Race Seven: From gate twelve with 60kg, Star Buck made it three wins on the trot at the track with a fighting victory over Saramento who clocked up her tenth runners up cheque. Whinnen was a good third racing first up, with The Keillor Kid coming from last to run fourth. Jake The Musk led on the turn and finished fifth with fancied Gangway finishing mid field.


Race Eight: The Golden Dynamo made it two starts at the track for two wins with a solid victory coming away to win over an improved Whittingham, with Pretty Often finishing on well for third. Grand Circuit battled away to finish fourth from Classy Flirt. Favorite Son Of Thunder got in a traffic jam on the corner and did not see daylight until the last 80m when the race was all over.
