Diggers Cup Meeting Delivers Record Gate Receipts at Muttaburra
The Muttaburra Amateurs Turf Club held a two day Diggers Cup fixture with fine weather and a larger second day crowd. Gate receipts totalled a record 117 pounds on Saturday, 73 pounds on Friday. Digby won the Diggers Cup in a time of 1.29 for seven furlongs, while Delengro captured the Victory Handicap. The Sailors' Farewell Handicap was abandoned for insufficient starters, and the event drew praise for smooth organization, modern course facilities, and enthusiastic spectators from Longreach to Aramac.

Cup to Digby Dominates at Five Length Margin
Lene Oye well knows the cup went to Digby as he held the lead through the seven furlongs in a track record 1.28, beating rivals by five lengths. Monsleigh led the outsider Trifeit through early stages, with Corruption and Monleigh close behind as Digby surged past them to win. Townsend’s handling showed promise, and if Digby repeats this form at the Low-reach amateur meeting, a tough race awaits.
