George trains three in quiet week for locals
Garry George (Beulah) continued his run of form with the lead and collar leading in three winners for the week.
George trained a double at Horsham with first starter Lilydale and the up-and-coming Moonlight Grand. George then jumped on the bike and headed to Bendigo Friday, where Sweet Caviar jumped to the front and made every post a winner.
George started the locals off with a bang on Tuesday at Horsham, training two winners from the first three races on the card. Lilydale was having her first start in the 410m maiden event, and she made every post a winner from start to finish leading all the way after crossing from box six and greeting the judge a four-length victor in the smart time of 23:44sec.
Race three, and it was Moonlight Grand who took her spot in the winner’s circle. Beginning well, Moonlight Grand positioned second early and was able to rail through and take the lead turning for home, looking the winner, but halfway down the straight Genesis Bale joined in with a strong run and put a serious challenge to Moonlight. Both dogs hit the line together and Moonlight just bobbed at the right time to win by the barest of margins 0.03 of one length in the nice time of 23:37.
George then jumped on his bike and headed to Bendigo for the Friday meeting. He again tasted success when Sweet Caviar won the Grade Five 425m event.
Jumping from the middle trap, Sweet Caviar was forced to work for the early lead, but once she found the front, she was never troubled and won comfortably in 24:25sec.
This week sees a huge number of local dogs entered, with around twenty-three local runners to take their place on the Horsham card for Tuesday; let’s hope we can cheer a few home.
