March Maiden Makes It Three In A Row At Canberra

Written By Ellen Dwyer, NSW GBOTA Greyhound Racing Correspondent Monday 22nd June 2009  

In the second SKY Filler meeting for June another strong 11 race card got underway amid difficulties on Saturday night.

Race 1 saw Jodie Gilbert’s first starter Sticky Boots take the cash, though due to power troubles no times or margins were recorded for the event.

The second saw Teddy Two Buck secure his second win for the Can Punt syndicate, Habmak recording her third runners-up position at Canberra while first starters for the Ping Cut and Motor syndicate Bella Belinda came in third.

Continuing their good relationship with the Canberra track, Keith Jones’ Pale Face Ariek beat Reefton kennelmates Tinashe Bale and Brencole Bale in 30.78 in the Climate Doctor 4/5th grade 530 event.

In the lead up to the Lockwood National Capital Distance Championship, a number of interstaters had their first look at the track, with Tom Astbury’s Jilly Tadmore taking out honors over Methane and Money Magnet.
