Harness Racing A monster ten race program was conducted at the Penrith Paceway last Thursday night. The fi rst event got underway at 5.52pm with the last starting at 10.17pm, thus making it a long night for the large crowd that was in attendance. However the children did not seem to mind because our new playground area was in full swing and they were certainly enjoying themselves. They enjoyed themselves even further when Santa Claus arrived on course with a bag full of lollies to distribute amongst them. The night was evenly balanced with five of the races going to favourites and the remaining five going to reasonably well supported runners. So all in all most of the punting public went home with a smile. Top driver Glen McElhinney scored with back to back winners in races seven and
Lorraine Pozza eight. Renegade Master won the seventh with what was a good performance, favoured with a good draw from gate three he was soon in front and led all the way but it was the ease of his victory that was impressive, he will win again soon. Glen’s second win with Miss Megan ($2.30) was a repeat performance with her leading all the way from gate two but she was not near as impressive in the run home. Western Destroyer ($1.80) Jim Douglas carried on from his win the previous week and scored again with a very good display coming from well back in the field. Newcastle trainer driver Michael Formosa made the trip down the freeway a lot more pleasant by taking out race nine with Wide Grin ($3.60).
