It must surely be some sort of record for a gallops meeting held at Kyneton. Probably one that will never be beaten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Five horses prepared by five individual Kyneton-based trainers were winners on the local club\u2019s eight-event race meeting early last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With spectators finally allowed back on course, the eight-event program was another step forward towards normality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If anyone had dared to suggest beforehand there would be five local winners \u2013 with one starting at lucrative odds of $81 \u2013 you would be hard pressed to find a true believer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The opening event was a 3-Y-O Maiden Plate over 1200m, and trainer Mick Sell hoped that Mobamba, ridden by Craig Robertson, would produce the ability he was sure was there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And so it unfolded, the $81 chance having his fifth race start raced wide and ran on to win by 0.2 lengths. Woodend Hesket Racing Syndicate is among the part-owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Race 2, and George Osborne produced the unraced Kyokushin ($8) in the Maiden Plate.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alana Kelly had the ride, and Kyokushin edged out Sell\u2019s Boho Miss with a strong finishing burst, coming from well back in the field.
Some of the part-owners came from interstate to see their horse break through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On to the fifth race, and Liam Howley\u2019s Almighty Will, ridden by Jason Maskiell, was mid-field for much of the 1450m and fought on at odds of $4.80 to chalk up his fifth race victory.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then it was Lavrovsky\u2019s turn to break through for trainer Michael Jones, leading throughout at $16 in the BM 58 event over 1850m.
Ridden by Jarrod Fry, it was the six-year-old\u2019s second race victory from 29 outings, with total stake earnings now $77,345.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u2018lucky last\u2019 arrived over 1200m, and it was French Star in the Bob Challis stable who put her best foot forward to win by a length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mare was ridden by Logan McGill, and started at $11, with Osborne\u2019s My Divas appearing to be an unlucky runner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
