2016 SA Sprint Championship - Box Draw
2016 BARGAIN STEEL CENTRE SA SPRINT CHAMPIONSHIPS
– BOX DRAW
The best locally trained sprinters in the State gathered at Angle Park tonight in two heats of the Bargain Steel Centre SA Sprint Championships.
The fastest qualifier for the final was in the first heat with the Wayne Ryan trained Check Yo Self upsetting her more fancied rivals in a brilliant display of front running chasing. She flew the lids from box 3 and gave nothing else a chance running slick sectionals of 4.46, 17.00 and 29.77 to win by 1 ¾ lengths. She defeated both Liam’s Entity and Dana Jorja who held on well to grab the minor money. Check Yo Self has not been favoured in the box draw carrying the 7 rug so will need plenty of luck to repeat tonight’s fabulous effort.
The second heat looked a match race in three with Mrs Bubbles, Worm Burner and It’s Classified all in fine form and that is how the race panned out. Mrs Bubbles for Matthew Payne was able to muster early and grab the early lead and from there she fought on strongly to record a solid win in a flying 29.78. Worm Burner ran home powerfully from midfield to grab second with It’s Classified holding on well for third. With all three main players in the final the box draw hasn’t really helped with Worm Burner preferring the outside, It’s Classified the rails and whilst box 5 is not great for Mrs Bubbles it may give her some room to move early.
The $22,000 Listed feature will be run next Thursday night 14th January. It will be race 8 on the program and is listed to jump at 9.12pm (SA time).
