Eventful racing and golf amateur hurdle at Perth

31-07-2012

Losing your steering is every jockey’s nightmare but fortunately Robyn Gray was unscathed after front running FRONT RANK ran out when the rein snapped just past the stands and crashed through the running rail, unseating her.  More drama was to follow when John Barry’s saddle slipped on WHISKY GALORE and he lost an iron which hindered any challenge he could lay down to Cath Walton on URBAN KODE who headed him as they approached the winning post and held on well to score for Lucinda Russell.

Our reigning champion lady jump jockey Emma Sayer was not to be denied success, scoring in the last by a head on COOL BARANCA to win for her mother.
