John and Gaye Harvey, the principals of Croyden Park Stud at Cottonvale on the Granite Belt, are inadvertent Burnett tourism promoters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The couple\u2019s livery has been carried by Eidsvold and the full brothers Monto and Mount Perry, a sound winner of the HSF Fitness (BM 60,1400m) at Beaudesert last weekend.<\/p>\n

All three are by the Rustic Amber entire Sir Topaz and were bred by Charlie Hughes, a resident of Ceratodus in the north Burnett.<\/p>\n

The naming game actually started with a colt called Ceratodus, a 2006 born member of Sir Topaz\u2019s first crop.<\/p>\n

The Burnett place-name horses have successfully appeared in scattered parts.<\/p>\n

Monto has won at Bell, Tara, Stanthorpe and Toowoomba while Eidsvold took out a Gold Coast Maiden.<\/p>\n

The Mark Palmer-trained Mount Perry has saluted twice at his home patch at Beaudesert.<\/p>\n

Almost A Dynamic Disaster<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Stephen Jones stable landed the quinella and the bonuses in the QTIS Maiden for two-year-olds at Dalby with the outsiders Red Wayne and Sportstar Samuel last Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The side\u2019s representatives at Beaudesert in the Straight Up Fencing Maiden Plate for the males were the Star Witness three-year-old Dynamic Star (Ben Cornell) and the Court Command juvenile Meal Ticket (Rick Johnston -Bell).<\/p>\n

The former recorded the easiest of victories while the latter flashed home to complete the quinella.<\/p>\n

However, pre-race drama is revealed in the stewards\u2019s report.<\/p>\n

“On presentation to the saddling enclosure, a steward\u2019s check revealed that the incorrect saddles and saddle cloth numbers had been placed on stable-mates Dynamic Star and Meal Ticket,<\/em>” the stewards report noted.<\/p>\n

“At a subsequent inquiry, trainer S. Jones pleaded guilty to negligence under AR175(k) in that he placed the incorrect saddles and saddle cloth numbers on his respective runners and was fined $500.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Stewards ordered both riders to re-weigh which resulted in a delay to this event.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

The vigilance of officials certainly averted a potential fiasco.<\/p>\n

Just for the record, there was a three and a half kilo difference between the weights to be carried.<\/p>\n

In all probability, the jockeys involved would y have noticed that they were hoisted on to a seat that they did not own.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the business-like work of the officials meant that it did not come down to that kind of risky prospect.<\/p>\n
