S.A. Pony Trots

RACE: 1 ~ Jive Café Combine Slower Trot

All ponies step away very nicely, Just Call Me Barry was the early leader off the front mark, Twoie was making ground along with Lucky Star, Born To Be Wild and Little Red Devil. The back markers Rouge Diablo, Rock Star Jelly and Jimmy Jenkins were making good ground fast on these front five.

Coming around the bend the field was slowly bunching up with Just Call Me Barry still leading the pack. Half way down the straight it was anyone’s race with six ponies across the track fighting out the finish but as always the shortest way home was along the pegs in which Jimmy Jenkins and Matthew A’Court proved right, going on for another win from Rouge Diablo in second and Rock Star Jelly back in third.

RACE: 2 ~ Jive Café Shetland Trot

In a small field of four Shetlands, Midnight Star was the leader over Dash For Cash, Mr Bo Jangles and Summer Rose. The order never changed until down the straight Midnight Star still had a handy lead of 10m over Summer Rose who making ground quickly. Just before the line Midnight Star slowed up even though Brooke Harding did everything she could to get Midnight Star over the finishing line, Summer Rose had the momentum up to get the win over Midnight Star in second and Mr Bo Jangles in third.

RACE: 3 ~ Jive Café Faster Open Trot

Last race of the night was the Faster Open Class, White Noise was the early leader by 8 meters over Sugar Rush, Bull Jnr and One Step Smaller. Approaching the 400m mark Sugar Rush took over from White Noise, One Step Smaller was quickly marking up ground on these two. At the top of the straight Sugar Rush was just in front of One Step Smaller these two went stride for stride battling it out until the finishing line where One Step Smaller just got up for win over Sugar Rush in second and White Nosie in third.

Congratulations to Matthew A’Court for driving a winning double.
