Muckatah Turf Club Meeting Impresses Crowd and Stakes
A large turnout and perfect weather marked the 1037 Muckatah Turf Club meeting on Saturday. Gate receipts exceeded last year despite reduced admission. Notables like John Wren and Tom Woodcock attended with racing duties. Principal races saw Kiella Kate win the Muckatah Handicap, Tear a close second, and Ivy Sardis with Mary's Mount dueling in the Encourage Handicap. Souka won the Handicap Trot, Neuve Chapelle led the Flying Handicap, while J Bourke 101 not out anchored Wunghnu in the cricket-like scores. Strathmerton and Cobram matches produced notable batting and bowling feats. The program ended with a two-week break before semi-final selections for country week.
