Council shuts down outdoor dining plans Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au AN Edithvale cafe owner who was planning to introduce outdoor dining this summer says that council’s rejection of his proposal is “a huge opportunity lost”. Kingston Council has been encouraging local venues to expand outdoors during the COVID-19 pandemic - offering free outdoor dining licences and footpath trading permits, as well as dining pop-up licences. Despite that, council struck down a plan

for The Crowded Hour to expand its outdoor dining space into Beeson Reserve. The Crowded Hour owner Rogan O’Shannessy said he was blindsided when council rejected his proposal. He said he “had spent months developing the plans with the support of council staff, only to have the proposal declined less than three weeks before its planned opening.” “We responded to the council’s invitation to think outside the box and be innovative, so it’s really discouraging for our initiative to be put in the too-hard basket,” he said. “We

had unbelievable support from locals during a really challenging time for small businesses, and we were just so excited about being able to give something back to the community after a tough year for everyone. “There are currently no outdoor venues in Edithvale for locals to go for a quiet evening out, so it would be great for people to be able to walk to the heart of the community and just be together again. That’s the biggest disappointment really – it’s a huge opportunity lost for local residents to enjoy something special right on their doorstep.”

At their 25 November meeting, councillors voted to “provide in principle support to progress, finalise and grant the applications for extended outdoor dining proposals” at numerous locations. One of those locations listed was at Beeson Reserve for The Crowded Hour. Kingston Council planning and development general manager Jonathan Guttman told The News that “the application by The Crowded Hour Bar to establish an outdoor dining pop-up at Beeson Reserve in Edithvale presented a number of elements which made its assessment more complex.

This included electricity supply issues, the use by the broader community of what is a small parcel of public parkland and the immediate relationship with residential properties.” “As a result of the feedback by residents, and the constraints associated with the site, we were unable to support The Crowded Hour application in its current form however council is happy to work with the business to look at other ways of extending its outdoor dining offering.” Continued page 3

A CHELSEA Heights intersection will shut for nearly a month to facilitate works on the Mordialloc Freeway. The roundabout at Wells Road and Thames Promenade will close from 2 January to 27 January. During that time it will be demolished. The road will be widened and traffic lights will be installed for when the intersection reopens. While the intersection is shut, detours will be in place via the Mornington Peninsula Freeway and Springvale Road. Major Road Projects Victoria says that “replacing the roundabout with traffic lights to allow traffic to flow more smoothly to and from the new freeway access ramps.” The freeway is expected to be completed by the end of next year. The project was projected to cost $375 million, before another $148.2 million was put into it during the mid-year budget update at the end of 2019.

‘Bureaucrats’ scupper summer dining Continued from page 1 Mr Guttman said that as part of their ordinary meeting on 25 November, councillors also voted to “seek community input before making a final decision on The Crowded Hour Summer Lounge proposal.” “The community feedback identified a range of concerns with the use of Beeson Reserve including noise and disruption, the use of a popular open space area during the summer period and alcohol being served in a designated alcohol-free zone,” he said. “Kingston Council has been working with local businesses to help them expand their outdoor dining offering in appropriate locations, wherever it can be safely established and doesn’t have a negative impact on immediate neighbours. Since dining was allowed again following the easing of restrictions in October, council has approved more than 70 new and expanded outdoor dining permits including dining pop-ups.” Mr O’Shannessy said “I’m tired of listening to bureaucrats talk about how much support there’s going to be for the hospitality industry, because when the rubber hits the road the same old barriers seem to remain in place.” “I was just hopeful that following a global pandemic that’s sent countless businesses to the wall the council might have been able to step back, look at the bigger picture, and see this as something really positive for Edithvale.” He said he will consider appealing the decision.

Plans for new aged care home Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au

PLANNING has begun for a new aged care facility in Cheltenham. The residential facility at Monash Health’s Kingston Centre will have the capacity for 150 beds. It is expected to cater for residents with complex needs such as dementia. The project is budgeted to cost $134.6 million. Disability, ageing, and carers minister Luke Donnellan said “our public sector residential aged care services play a vital role in supporting vulnerable older Victorians who need specialist care for complex physical or mental health needs.” The centre will be operated and staffed by public health service Monash Health. During the devastating second wave of COVID-19 in Victoria, cases in privately-run aged care homes far outnumbered those in state-run facilities. The Saturday Paper reported that just three residents in state-run aged care homes contracted COVID-19 during the second wave, compared to nearly 2000 in private and non-profit facilities. The Cheltenham residential facility is scheduled for completion by early 2025.

Cash for Coast Guard upgrade THE Carrum Coast Guard has received over $50,000 in taxpayer funding to upgrade old equipment. The funding is expected to be used to replace and upgrade old vessel navigation systems. The state government allocated the money through its emergency services refurbishment fund. Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said “this vital project will improve the condition of critical infrastructure and ensure the Carrum Coast Guard will be able to continue their incredible work keeping the community safe.”

“The emergency services refurbishment fund will extend the life of existing facilities and resources, while developing job opportunities within the local community,” she said. “The investment enables volunteer emergency services agencies to carry out urgent maintenance, repairs and upgrades to extend the life and improve safety of their existing facility and asset portfolios and provide support to Victorian businesses and workers affected by the downturn in the Victorian economy caused by the pandemic.”

Works on boating accessibility A RAMP is set to be built at Mordialloc Creek to give people with disabilities easier access to boats. Kingston Council has confirmed plans to build a ramp to link the existing promenade with a proposed eight-metre long and nine-metre wide floating pontoon. The mayor Steve Staikos said council is “committed to improving accessibility across Kingston and giving everyone the opportunity to enjoy our foreshore and the beautiful Port

Phillip Bay.” “Boating and fishing is a popular past-time for many in our community and we want to make sure all residents can continue to access and enjoy our waterways well into the future despite any mobility issues,” he said. “The community has been very supportive of this proposed boating pontoon and detailed surveys have been done to ensure the construction won’t have any negative impact on our coastal and estuarine environments.”

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Bowls club formed in Frankston

Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE public meeting held at Frankston last Tuesday night for the purpose of considering the matter of forming a bowling club, established the fact that a good deal of enthusiasm underlies the movement. The shire president (Cr W. P. Mason) explained that he had convened the meeting by request, and it gave him considerable pleasure in so doing. A bowling green would, he was sure, prove a great asset to the town, and attract visitors from all parts of the State. It was unanimously resolved on the motion of Mr Milner Macmaster, seconded by Mr E. J. Parker, that a bowling club be established. Mr Macmaster was appointed secretary. The question of site caused consider able discussion. Mr T. J. McMurtrie gave valuable expert information relating to the laying down of greens and said that the cost would vary a great deal in accordance with the suitability or otherwise of the site. He considered the reserve near the tennis court as being a site admirably adapted in every way for a bowling green. He was supported in this by Mr W. Bell, an experienced bowler, and Messrs Dalman, Jennings and others agreed. Cr. Oates and Mr S. Lawrey thought there might be difficulty in the way of securing the reserve referred to, and it was ultimately decided on the motion of Mr W. C. Young to appoint a committee consisting of Messrs BelI,

McMurtrie and Macmaster to meet the shire president and Cr Oates and inspect the reserve on Mornington Road, and report at a further meeting to be held on Wednesday, 16th inst. *** IT was with the deepest regret that the sad news of Mr Clement Renard’s untimely death was recently received in Hastings. His strong personality combined with exceptional business ability, had gained for him many friends and universal respect in this district, where it is felt that it will be long before his place is filled. By the fruitgrowers especially, his loss will be keenly felt, as he was untiring in his efforts to promote their interests, and to him is due a very large part of the credit of pushing on so rapidly the erection of the fine Cool Store which is proving such a boon to the growers. The sympathy of the community in general is extended to his widow in her sad bereavement. *** ON Friday and Saturday the 26th and 27th November, the annual bazaar and sale of gifts was held in the Town Hall, under the auspices of Holy Trinity Ladies’ Guild, and was, in spite of the closing night being very wet, the most successful yet held, the takings totalling about £72. Among the many well stocked stalls one of the most attractive was the produce stall, with its plentiful supply of lovely fresh fruit and vegetables. Needless to say the ladies in charge were kept fully occupied attending to the wants of their numerous custom-

ers.

*** HARRY Lord, of Carrum, appeared at the Frankston Police Court last Monday, before Messrs C. G. V. Williams (chairman), C. Grant and Giles, J’s.P, to answer a charge of failing to register the birth of his child within the time specified by law. The defendant produced a document purporting to be an affidavit taken before the registrar, Miss McGowan, and on the face of it the Bench decided to dismiss the charge. Senior-Constable Bray, who appeared to prosecute, contended the Registrar should be present to verify her signature. The chairman said inquiries could he made, and in the event of the document not proving what it appeared to be, the police could take further action. The name of Mr Giles, J.P was then called and that gentleman stepped down from the Bench to enter the witness box, and explain why he had not had his child, born in March last, duly vaccinated. Mr Giles explained at some length, but he was fined 10/- all the same. *** THE Mornington Races on Tuesday last was largely attended The Mornington Handicap was won by the Flemington trainer, J. Accola, with Tulkara, second place being filled by J. Curr’s Linass, who was ridden by W Duncan. *** ON Tuesday last an aeroplane might have been noticed flying in the direction of Mornington.

Drive safely

Supported by

It was merely Melbourne’s greatest bookmaker, Mr. Wallace Mitchell, flying to the Mornington races. He recently visited Randwick in the same style. *** DURING the Xmas holidays the New South Wales baseballers will visit Frankston and Mornington in char-abancs. The trip will take place on Sunday, and they will be accompanied by representative Victorian players. *** ON Saturday, December 18th, the Presbyterian Church, Frankston, will hold a Xmas Fair in the Mechanics’ Institute. All sorts of novelties have been arranged, and during the evening the Frankston Brass Band will be present. The kiddies will also have the opportunity of meeting Father Xmas. The proceeds are in aid of the Presbyterian Church, which is to be erected at Frankston shortly. *** ACCORDING to reports, Mr. Walter Schultz, of Mt. Eliza, who recently sold the Pier Hotel, Frankston, to Mr. E. J. Parker, licensee of the Bay View Hotel, Frankston, for £6500, has sold his orchard at Mt. Eliza to Mr. Thomas, who comes from “Sunraysia,” Mildura. Mr. and Mrs. Schultz propose visiting Egypt, Shanghai, Honolulu, San Francisco, and Hong Kong. After visiting California’s capital, they will visit Mr. Schultz’s birthplace in Nicaragua, the largest republic in Central America. ***

DROMANA, like every district throughout the country, sent its quota to Europe to fight the cause of the Empire. Some returned, but unfortunately, many did not, and to honour these the Dromana people have erected Soldiers’ Memorial Club Rooms. These were recently opened by Colonel Farr in the absence of the State Commandant. Mr. J. Lemmon, M.L.A., and Major Corder assisted at the opening service. Next Saturday the Tyabb Soldiers’ Memorial will be unveiled by Brigadier-General (Pompey) Elliott, who is one of Victoria’s representatives in the Senate. *** IN the course of time, no doubt, Mr. J. Bradbury has received many flattering testimonies regarding the charming interior of The Fernery, on Mornington Road, Frankston, and there is not the slightest doubt these complimentaries were thoroughly deserved. The Fernery is situated in a charming locality – the ti tree on the cliffs appear, viewed from the beach, to lay right over it, whilst the charmingly arranged tables, amidst a wealth of greenery and fernery, make it one of the finest lounges in the State. Mr. Bradbury has now erected a refrigerating plant at the Fernery, and is supplying the Peninsula with ice. This is a commendable enterprise, and we will have more to say about it next issue. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 10 December 1920

WHAT’S NEW...

Heartfelt thanks to end a difficult year PENINSULA Health is saying thank you to its more than 6500 staff across the Frankston Mornington Peninsula as 2020 draws to a close. “We know that many people in our health service and in our community were impacted by the pandemic, in a multitude of complicated and difficult ways,” says Felicity Topp, Chief Executive Peninsula Health. “Each and every staff member at Peninsula Health went above and beyond to ensure we could provide outstanding care to our community. I’d like to give my heartfelt thanks to all of our people for their wonderful contribution this year.” As part of the Peninsula Health Thank You Festival 14-20 December 2020, Peninsula Health is also hosting its Service Recognition Ceremony, with 485 staff recognised for 10 plus years of service with the organisation. Kim Heriot began her nursing career at Frankston Hospital in 1990 as a graduate nurse – three decades later she is one of our most experienced nursing leaders, taking on many roles including Operations Director of Medicine. This year Kim has supported the Infection Prevention & Control Team, Geriatric Psychiatric Inpatient Unit and the Medical Wards across the health service. “It has been incredibly rewarding to be part of a team doing some phenomenal work in response to COVID-19.” Working on the frontline of a pandemic is not a new experience for Kim – she travelled to Liberia and

Sierra Leone to help fight the Ebola outbreak in 2014 and 2015. “These overseas trips were a really good opportunity to support local staff in the affected areas and undertake rewarding work in the Infection Control space,” says Kim. “It was a once in a lifetime opportunity, and to be able to go twice was just amazing.” Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Consultant and Patient Services Manager Viktorija Bonnamy, better known as Viki, is also

celebrating 30 years of service. “I thought I’d seen it all in my many years here, but 2020 threw up more surprises than any of us could ever have imagined. An unforgettable year, in so many ways,” exclaims Viki. “I’m so proud of, not only what I’ve been able to juggle this year in my two roles, but proud of the way all my colleagues have risen to the endless challenges. It truly has been inspiring.” One of the first OHS initiatives

Viki supported was a No Lift project in 1999, which was “a real culture changer for staff.” Flash forward to 2020 and Viki is continuing to support staff in new and varied ways. “This year I have reviewed more than 500 ergonomic applications for staff that have been working from home during the pandemic,” explains Viki. “I’ve also been involved as a fit tester (on the wards,) helping our staff appropriately fit their masks so we can help stop the spread of

Covid-19.” Peninsula Health would also like to extend thanks to their volunteers, consumer representatives and the wider Frankston Mornington Peninsula community. “Thank you to our volunteers, consumer representatives, partners and the local community for your ongoing support,” adds Felicity. “Our close ties are invaluable and enable our people to be able to provide the best of care for everyone.”

Pines steady to win, Dromana across the line against Hastings, Tyabb come close By Brodie Cowburn

Somerville stride in: A modest total of just 95 by Seaford Tigers was no trouble for Somerville. Picture: Andrew Hurst

PENINSULA

A BIG score from Damien Lawrence got Pines over the line in their clash against Long Island. Long Island chose to bat first and got off to a horror start, losing both openers for a combined total of just one run. Losing star batsman Nick Jewell for one proved a huge blow. Jewell’s output this season has been down compared to his usual lofty standards. Long Island ended up all out for 144. Pines’ run chase was a little shaky to start off with, as they fell to 2/11. Opener Damien Lawrence held his ground though, and ended up scoring 87 not out. Lawrence has started well in all of his innings this season, but ended up out for less than 30 each time. He made this match his own though, helping his side to a four wicket win. At Bruce Park, Heatherhill claimed a win over Moorooduc. Shamith Kannangara and Kasun Perera both impressed for Moorooduc, scoring half centuries. They got little help from their teammates though, who all ended up out for scores of less than 10. Kieran Lenehan was impressive with the ball, claiming figures of 4/17 off six overs. Heatherhill chased down a target of 164 with five balls to spare and four wickets in hand. At Belvedere Reserve, Seaford Tigers set a target of just 95 for Somerville to chase down. Somerville won the contest with 5 wickets in hand and 20 overs left to play.

DISTRICT

DROMANA scored a hard-fought win over Hastings on Saturday Batting first, Dromana put 124 runs on the board before their innings expired. Ben Brittain’s knock of 44 was his side’s best. The Dromana bowlers would have to work hard to get a result, but they proved they were up to the task. A middle order stand from Luke Hewitt and Matthew Shean put Hastings in a decent position to win. Once

PROVINCIAL

their wickets fell though, the match came to a swift conclusion. Hastings lost their last seven wickets for just 29 runs, and ended up all out for 91. Sam Fowler was the pick of the bowlers for Dromana, taking 4/16. It was his best performance for the season. Delacombe Park celebrated a victory at home on the weekend, getting the better of Pearcedale. No Pearcedale batsmen could capitalise on good starts to go on to make big scores. They ended up all out for 144, giving their opponents an attainable target to chase down. They lost a few batsmen along the way, but good performances from Matthew Whelan and Ashley Walker got Delacombe Park the win - with three wickets left to spare. Carrum secured a thumping victory at home against Crib Point on Saturday. Openers Shaun Foster and Mark Cooper managed to chase down Crib

Point’s total on their own. Both batsmen finished not out as their side chased down 116 to claim a 10 wicket win. Frankston YCW grabbed a victory against Rosebud at home. They won by five wickets.

Tootgarook only set their opponents a target of 106 to chase down. Archie Shepherd did damage with the ball, taking 4/24 to help restrict Tootgarook to a low score. Balnarring’s run chase was unconvincing at times, but they ended getting over the line with two wickets in hand. A second consecutive half-century from Anthony Joel helped Ballam Park to victory over Seaford. Joel’s knock of 60 batting at number eight got his team to 174 at the expiration of their innings. Seaford’s run chase got off to a nightmare start, with the side in dire straits at 5/37. Ryan McQueen came in and put 41 runs on the board, but he didn’t get much support. Seaford ended up losing by 59 runs. At Ferrero Reserve, Rye were rattled by Mt Martha. Rye set their opponents a target of 82 to chase down, which they did without much trouble. Carrum Downs had a good day against Skye, claiming an eight wicket win.

SUB DISTRICT

TYABB fell agonisingly short of a win against Boneo on Saturday. Boneo chose to bat first on their home deck, and put on a good show. Opener Chris Jobling spent two hours at the crease and put 78 runs on the board. Boneo finished their innings at 8/176, giving Tyabb a lot of work to do to get a win. The Yabbies gave it their best shot, bringing the game right down to the wire. Tyabb’s innings expired with the side at 6/174, just three runs short of victory. Tootgarook and Balnarring also played each other in a nail-biter on the weekend.

BAXTER and Mornington’s clash on Saturday turned into a run-fest. After losing the toss, Baxter was sent in to bat first. They played aggressive cricket at the crease, and ended up putting 219 runs on the scoreboard. Daniel Warwick and Chris Brittain were both in good form, putting on scores of 64 and 77 respectively. Faced with a huge mountain to climb, Mornington got to work. Opener Zac Garnet played his part, scoring 81 to get his side in a good position to win. Although they worked hard they just couldn’t get over the line. Mornington’s innings came to a close after 40 overs with the side 20 runs short of victory. Yohan Maddege was instrumental for Baxter, taking five wickets and wiping out Mornington’s middle order. Peninsula Old Boys managed to secure a narrow 11 run win at home over Baden Powell. A half century by Wade Pelzer put Peninsula OB in a good position. They would have to defend a total of 180. Baden Powell worked hard to get within reach of their target. Batsman Rhys Elmi was in fine form, scoring 80 runs to give his side a chance of winning. Once Elmi’s wicket fell, disaster struck for Baden Powell. They collapsed from 5/166 to all out for 169. Sorrento scored a win on Saturday against Mt Eliza. A knock of 80 by Jedd Falck helped Sorrento to a three wicket victory. At Lloyd Park, Red Hill got the better of Langwarrin. Simon Dart was the man of the match, scoring 78.

Scott Webster returns to Pines SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie FIFTEEN years after his last game for Frankston Pines veteran midfielder Scott Webster has returned to Monterey Reserve. He last played in Pines’ 3-3 home draw with Fawkner-Whittlesea in the final round of the 2005 league season. Webster’s impressive CV also includes stints at Eastern Pride, Oakleigh Cannons, Dandenong Thunder, Morwell Pegasus, Casey Comets, Mornington, Doveton and Seaford United. His sole appearance for Seaford came in an FFA Cup tie against Brunswick Zebras last March which saw Seaford win 7-6 on penalties. The 38-year-old adds much needed experience to the Pines’ midfield and looks certain to sit in front of the defensive line in what looms as one of the better midfields in State 3. “I want to use pre-season to get as fit as I can and I really want to try and get promotion with Pines,” Webster said. “I’m looking forward to playing under ‘Squizzy’ (head coach Kevin Taylor). “He likes a laugh and he can be serious too which fits in well with me.” Pines lost 3-1 to Doveton’s under21s last Thursday night at Monterey Reserve with Logan Crouch, Keegan Myatt and Sam Maggs giving the Doves a three-goal lead before Lachie McMinimee hit back for Pines. The home side featured a couple of trialists and one was former Langy and Hampton Park United attacking midfielder Ahmad “Sosa” Suleiman. Pines have kept the other triallist under the radar so far but it’s Alirezah Alizadeh who played on the left wing. “Ali” played for Bollnäs in Sweden in 2019. Former Langwarrin and Phillip Island player Max Boulton has trained with Pines as he makes steady progress in his comeback from an ACL injury incurred during the 2019 pre-season when training with Casey Comets.

The 23-year-old has not played since. This Saturday (19 December) Monterey Reserve will host a clash between a Mauritius Select and a Fiji Select which kicks off at 3pm. Bar and canteen facilities will be available and a number of internationals will take part. Pines’ pre-season match schedule resumes on Saturday 16 January when it takes on Bunyip District at the multipurpose sports facility at Wedge Road in Carrum Downs (times to be confirmed). In NPL2 news Langwarrin announced on facebook late last week that it had signed Vojo Milojevic from Springvale White Eagles. Milojevic, 25, is a former Avondale winger who usually operates on the right. “Langy’s a great club with a lot of

great people around the place,” Milojevic said. “There’s a lot of talent in the playing group and they’re a good group of boys. “Obviously winning the league is the aim but on a personal level I just want to give my best week-in weekout and be consistent with my performances.” And followers of English League One may be interested to know that two former Langwarrin players could go head to head on Sunday at 2am (AEST). Matt Millar should be in Shrewsbury Town’s matchday squad while Socceroo Bailey Wright is expected to be in the Sunderland line-up. Shrewsbury hosts the Black Cats at New Meadow with the home side involved in a basement battle while the visitors are pushing for a play-off spot.

In State 4 news Peter Schwellinger is the new senior coach of Seaford United. The club recently announced that Schwellinger and Matt Morris-Thomas would be joint senior coaches but Morris-Thomas has stepped down due to work commitments. Schwellinger has coached at Frankston Pines, Old Carey, Melton Phoenix and Whittlesea United. In 2017 he guided Whittlesea to a runner-up spot in State 3 North-West and the following year he led the club to the State 2 North-West title. He didn’t coach in 2019 but his hunger for success hasn’t diminished. “With the facilities and the players we have at Seaford if we can get a few additions I want to go for promotion,” Schwellinger said. “The players we already have should make us a top four team so I’m working on new players now so we can finish in the top two and maybe get promotion. “I think State 4 is one of the hardest leagues to get out of as only the top team is automatically promoted and the second team is in a play-off.” Morris-Thomas told Schwellinger of his decision to step down last Tuesday and it came as a surprise. “I initially signed on just to help Matt as I live in Pascoe Vale and work in Truganina so it can take me a couple of hours to get to training but I have taken the job on now so we will do what we can do. “I love Matt as a player and I’ve told him that I want him to play. He’s an

outstanding player. “And I want to help this club because it’s a great club with such great people.” Schwellinger has reached out to former senior assistant and club legend Andy Lancaster asking him to become his assistant and is waiting for his response. On the playing front he already has attracted ex-Waverley Wanderers, Peninsula Strikers, Doveton and Heatherton United striker Aziz Bayeh to training as well as Rosebud striker Blake Hicks. “I used to coach Aziz in the Super League in the juniors with Dingley and I’ve also coached Blake in the past as well. “Blake may bring down his brother and Hayden is a good goalkeeper and we need two good goalkeepers.” Meanwhile State 4 rival Chelsea has arranged four pre-season games starting in January. Chelsea takes on Aspendale Stingrays on Saturday 30 January at Browns Reserve, Pakenham United on Saturday 6 February at IYU Recreation Reserve, Casey Panthers on Saturday 13 February at Prospect Hill Reserve and Lyndale United on Saturday 20 February at Lyndale Secondary College. Both reserves and senior matches have been arranged with 1pm and 3pm kick-offs but these times are subject to change depending on weather conditions. In State 5 news Aspendale Stingrays have arranged friendlies for January and early February. Senior coach Lee Barber confirmed that his club will play Noble Park United on Thursday 21 January at 7pm (venue to be confirmed), Peninsula Strikers on Saturday 23 January at Centenary Park (reserves and seniors, times to be announced), Chelsea on Saturday 30 January (see State 4 news above) and Ringwood City on Saturday 6 February at Jubilee Park (reserves and seniors, times to be announced).

Vinnie succeeds in Sydney again HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON-based trainers David and Coral Feek have continued their successful raid on Sydney racing with their gutsy gelding I Am Vinnie. Bringing up his third victory at Randwick and remaining unbeaten in New South Wales, I Am Vinnie proved too good for his opposition to win the $125,000 Fujitsu General Handicap (1400m) by a length on Saturday 12 December. Despite being pocketed with 300m to run, jockey Jake Noonan navigated a clear passage aboard the gelding to overhaul his rivals and skip away to score a one length victory over the Kris Lees-trained Juventus. Co-trainer David Feek said he was thrilled to see their plan pay off. “He went to Ballarat [two starts ago] and ran what was probably a career best and yesterday he was just beyond belief. The application of the blinkers this prep and targeting the race has worked wonders,” he said. While I Am Vinnie has clearly thrived with competing in Sydney, Feek said that there hasn’t been anything obvious in his work at home that would suggest it.

“The stats don’t lie but there’s nothing physically or mentally at home that suggests he should run better going that way. He did well at Eagle Farm and that’s right-handed so perhaps the travel stimulates him, and I think Randwick is such a great, fair track,” he said. Feek said the victory on Saturday was extra special for connections. “Louise Mancinelli (owner) has put the whole group together and unfortunately she lost her brother Troy, who was in his mid-40s, about three or four months ago after battling cancer. If we’re superstitious then perhaps Troy was with Jake and with Vinnie on Saturday. It was particularly pleasing to secure the win for the ownership group,” Feek added. Jockey Jake Noonan, who rode another winner on Sunday for his father Tony, couldn’t have been happier to secure a third victory aboard I Am Vinnie in Sydney. “What a fantastic story for not only myself but David, Coral and the staff and the owners,” he said. “There would’ve been about 20 people from Melbourne that flew up to follow him, as they do every start. He’s got an impeccable record there. He’s been a great horse for me. He’s just a real warrior and when you need him, he’s always

there to count on. It was a fantastic day. We weren’t in until the last at 6:20pm so there was a long think about it but it’s great to be rewarded.”

I Am Vinnie’s record now stands at seven wins and seven placings from 30 starts. He has amassed just over $300,000 in prizemoney.
