AND SO MISS IS CHRISTMAS

It is fitting that group racing is signed off for the year at Wentworth Park with another bout between Miss Elly Mint and Wonderous in the final of the Group Three John Stollery Christmas Gift over 520 metres.

Miss Elly Mint reached ten straight wins with her all the way performance in heat two tonight but it was Wonderous who was arguably more impressive as she nailed down Nimbastic to run the quickest time of the night, albeit only 0.01 seconds faster than Miss Elly Mint.

The box draw was conducted on track only moments ago and it really has favoured both bitches that get the exact same boxes from which they won their heats.
