Champion Darley stallion retired from stud duty

Bob Jones has been a member of the Canberra Racing Club for almost 40 years and when his health allows, he’s at every race meeting, on his regular table in the Black Opal Room.

Wyong Race Club will host its second Saturday race meeting in two weeks on Saturday and with a sunny 24 degree fine day predicted and a heathy crowd is anticipated. Racing commences with the Carlton & United Breweries Fillies and Mares Class 1 Handicap (1300m) featuring three talented, lighted raced females from three leading stables.

Randwick trainer John O’Shea will attempt to gain entry into next year’s Big Dance when Pizarro lines up as one of the key contenders in Sunday’s Campbell Petroleum Distributors Club Goulburn Cup (1400m).

Miss Thatcher was primed but everything went against her when scratched from last week’s TAB Highway, however, the racing fortunes have aligned for a return as favourite for a Royal Randwick Highway episode on Saturday.
