July 22, 2012
The South Burnett Race Club’s second meeting for 2012 featured six races at Wondai on Saturday – one more than usual – and strong fields in a day of close racing.
Jockey Brendan Newport made a successful debut, bringing home four placegetters from four starts.
Desiree Gill also had an impressive day with two wins – including edging out the crowd favourite Ahsoka Tano in a photo finish in Race 4 – and a third placegetter.
St Joseph’s P&F committee sponsored Race 2 on the card, the 1000m Class 3 Plate. Parent and friends relaxed in a small shade tent on the grounds while special activities were set up to keep the children amused.
