THE Casterton Racing Club signed off on another successful season with a seven-race meeting on Sunday.\u2029<\/p>\n
It proved to be a tough day for punters with only one favourite winning but from a pure spectacle and management perspective the club continued to make race day comfortable for both participants and spectators.\u2029<\/p>\n
Infrastructure improvements with new fencing and mounting yard previously were enhanced with a new caller\u2019s box and betting area among other this year.\u2029<\/p>\n
President Mark Davis was again pleased and proud of what has been achieved this year.\u2029<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a fantastic group of volunteers and that reflects on what we have been able to do with our track and surrounds,\u201d he said.\u2029<\/p>\n
\u201cI am very happy; we have had another successful season.\u201d\u2029<\/p>\n
Despite plenty of rain during the lead-up to Sunday, track curator Gary Norris was able to present another fantastic race surface, the meeting presented with a Slow 7 track.\u2029<\/p>\n
Father and daughter combination, Wayne and Kate Walters, were the highlight acts on the track with a double.\u2029<\/p>\n
Noubentekh in the AG Warehouse Heywood Maiden Plate and Kelly Ann in the Helloworld Maiden Plate both started big odds to give the Mount Gambier based stable a double of more than 300\/1.\u2029<\/p>\n
Aaron Purcell on the back of winning the Country Cup\u2019s Horse of the Year with Dashing, also landed a double.\u2029<\/p>\n
Buzzaroon was a strong all the way winner of the bet365 New Racing Apt 0-58 Handicap winning by three lengths with Tom Madden riding.\u2029<\/p>\n
Making his intentions known early, Madden crossed to lead before staving off all challengers\u2019 mid-race, then kicking strongly for home.\u2029<\/p>\n
Linda Meech continued her great form to notch the second leg of Purcell\u2019s double, albeit narrowly on Franchine in the Heywood Home Timber and Hardware 0-58 Handicap.\u2029<\/p>\n
Rolling to the front mid-race Meech then had to get every ounce out of the eight-year-old mare to hold out of topweight Derelict.\u2029<\/p>\n
Warrnambool trainers, Daniel Bowman and Peter Chow had respective winners with Look At Mego and Royal Inference, while the other win went to Horsham trainer, Stephen Lenehan, with The Mariner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PETER MORGANTI \u2013 RACING\u2029 THE Casterton Racing Club signed off on another successful season with a seven-race meeting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":107230,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[32237,32238,1373,8029,3004,217,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-107229","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-racing","tag-casterton-news","tag-gallops","tag-hamilton","tag-horse-racing","tag-racing","tag-sport","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=107229"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107229\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/107230"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=107229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=107229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=107229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
