The best result for local trainers was Helen Ayre’s win in race six with Seldom Giggles (pictured left).
“She came second the other day so I knew she was on for a good run,” Ayre said.
“She didn’t start as well as I thought she would but she ran down the leader and kept going,” she said.
“She is really starting to hit her prime and is going really well.”
Ayre’s Should We Know also placed third in the race prior.
“She’s my best dog,” Ayre said.
“But she’s off her game and at the weekend she went up against a better dog,” she said.
Bellata trainer Kevin Campbell was the only other local to receive a place with Bridgewater Bonny coming second in the seventh.
“She was beaten by a better dog but she went pretty good,” Campbell said.
“She just couldn’t hold the others off. They were a bit strong for her,” he said.
Campbell’s Sunset Dawn also placed third
in race eight.
“I thought she should have won that,” he said.
“When she came around the home turn she tried to jump a dog or something.
“She should have won it easy but instead of going to the inside or outside she jumped or something, I couldn’t believe it.
“I haven’t seen a replay but I’d like to. It’s a mystery,” he said.
Campbell said she was only a young dog and still learning.
“I’ve only had her for about three runs.”
It was Casino trainer Shane Robinson who had the best success on the day with four wins and a number of placings across the 10 races.
The Champion caught up with handler Jim Battese after White Pony’s win in race five.
“We’ve won four, which is a great result,” Battese said. Our young dogs are really maturing.
“It’s this fella’s 14th win so now he goes to Tamworth for a final this week worth about $2000. In his last five or six starts he’s won about $7000 so he’s a nice dog to have around,” he said.
