It was great to see a large and enthusiastic crowd at Tatura on Sunday for the Italian Plate meeting.
Thousands of young racegoers were thrilled with the 10 race program which featured plenty of action and some nice results for punters.
The fillies looked great in their finery while the colts also went to a lot of trouble to dress up for the occasion. The racing was first class and in-form trainer Robbie Griffiths provided one of the most impressive winners of the day in Spreadsheet which took out the O'Connor's Shepparton Maiden Plate.
Another popular winner was Miss O'Toole which scored in the in the Mile Maiden with Jarrod Fry in the saddle. Unfortunately for Jarrod his day was marred by a fall shortly after.
The Vraca and Varapodio Italia Plate went to Flagstaff trained by Brian Cox and ridden by Ashley Thompson. Brian made it a double by providing the following winner, Hunter Spirit.
Honours for the day went to the stable of Dale Sutton and Stephen Baster who finished with a treble - Lights On, Dom Perion and Save A Penny.
There is nothing like a day at the country races and I look forward to seeing you at the races over the summer holiday period.
Have a great Christmas and a profitable New Year!
