Mt Barker Opening Meeting Review

Opening day at Mt Barker Turf Club was held last Sunday with a good crowd in attendance and good racing on the track.  Eight year old Jolanta Star returned in great style with an impressive first up win.

Trainer Steve Wolfe trained a double with promising filly Tee Pee Cat winning at her second start and Stone Boy winning over stablemate Nigels Gold by a nose. The stable missed out with well fancied runners Miss Legacy, Cargo Cruiser and January Boys who finished out of the placings.

Consistent Book Club gave apprentice Alex Hearn the first leg of a double, and he also booted home Calamine at long prices. Gerry Hughes trained Spinning Kitty made a winning debut with a good win over Nazotic who also caught the eye.
