Gawler Produce - Box Draw

Two terrific semi finals were conducted today at Gawler for the rich 2014 Gawler Produce series.

The first semi final was taken out by Footluce Diva for trainer Ken Trowbridge who was able to punch through and lead on the first turn from box 1 and from there was able to hold her challengers at bay. She ran a slick 30.63 for the 531m journey and looks to be getting close to her very best form from Victoria. She defeated the Cameron Butcher kennel mates Regal Looper and Boonoona Boy who flashed home for third. Impressive heat winner Punishment for Carole Scott qualified in fourth spot but should be right in the mix on Sunday night after drawing the red box in the final.

The second semi final went the favourite way with Sidney’s Shadow continuing on her merry way for Cameron Butcher with a solid victory in a flying 30.70. She had to work for it however with Wingard for Des Hockley giving her something to chase for much of the journey. Wingard battled on well for second with Sunday Shoes flashing home to grab third just ahead of Dakota Premier who struggled home into fourth after finding some trouble. Sidney’s Shadow does look the greyhound to beat on Sunday night after drawing box 8 however the final is of the highest quality with some of the most exciting chasers in South Australia competing at the Gawler venue.
