Healesville Report 12th January 2008 |

| The second saw Jessica Moroni ride a patient race behind the two more experienced riders in Adam Bodey and Geoff Brunsdon who decided to go early and left themselves sitting ducks for Baltic Storm who came home strongly over the top relishing the extra ground. The third went to Blue Dress who won well again after its very easy win last time out at Woolamai. Settling at the rear of the field this 4yo mare rounded them up and came home too strongly for the courageous Tate Modern. |

| The fourth went to Purge and brought up a double for Jessica Moroni who once again showed lots of patience and was able to get her mount into a good position on the fence behind the pace. Hurricane Sal was heavily backed in the race but was slow away from the barrier and failed to create a storm finishing at the rear. The fifth race was a very easy victory to the improving Eureka Jet who after winning well at Pakenham on New Years Day went on with the job and bolted in, landing another one for favourite backers. The final event saw another heavily backed favourite win the race with Nothin' But a Star getting the money with Julie Conron on board. Backed from $1.80 to $1.50 there were no doubts in the running and this horse won with something in hand. Yet another day where favourites won four out of the six events continuing the trend of recent times. Results and Stewards Reports are now available and some photo updates have been placed in the Gallery for the meeting. We return to racing at Alexandra this Saturday which would be welcome for the Club after not racing last season due to the drought. |
