Albany Review Sunday 6th February.

Apprentice Alex Lawrence took a big step to a succesful career as a Jockey when from four rides at Albany on Sunday, he rode a treble including the feature event on I'm Here To Win in the Albany Weekender Sprint over 1200m.

              Apprentice Alex Lawrence returns to scale

Lawrence who is indentured to leading local trainer Steve Wolfe opened the program with an all the way win on Lily La Bell, a very narrow second on Lunar Park, an easy win on longshot Jeneviv, and then scored a brilliant win with I'm Here To Win in a quality sprint field.

I'm Here To Win has raced very consistently in the Great Southern and her past two wins have been very good,  to suggest she is good enough to win in the city.  The four year old mare raced away to win from fast finishing Trimmconnection, with local hope Wine Horse a good third after racing wide throughout after drawing a wide gate.

Wolfe had a day out with a treble with I'm Here To Win, Lily La Bell and Stormy Sunset who broke through after consistent form. Apprentice Damien Lane and trainer Peter Western teamed for a double with Megablitz and Head To Hell.

Smart galloper Star Buck returned to his best form with a good win over veteran Titcherman over 1200m, with last years sprint star Jolanta Star again struggling after racing wide.
