COMPETITIVE COUSINS..
WHATABOUTME (Ryan Veivers) and TANGO (Karina Veivers) weigh in after a close fought finish.Ryan was as much chuffed by training the quinella as driving the winner.
THE CAP FITS...SO WEAR IT..IS IT A PORTENT OF EVENTS TO COME..
Karina Veivers,arriving at the races minus skull cap,was able to borrow a replacement from Natalie Rasmussen.From one Inter-Dominion winning head to another---very appropriate..
THE GATHERING OF "CLAN ROSS"...PRE-RACE..
Here they are.This collection of descendants from Celtic warriors have previously been hard to catch in the one place at one time.The faces give warning of their fierce competitve spirit,and their reluctance to be photographed.LEONE got 'em..

IT ISN'T CRICKET,BUT "MIDNIGHT" AND NARISSA McMULLEN OPENED THE BOWLING WITH A WIN ANYWAY.THE 2007 MINI-TROTTER SEASON COMMENCES..
Opening race for 2007 went the way of MIDNGHT,trained and reined by NARISSA McMULLEN,a future "sulky sitter" for the JOHN McMULLEN stable at Glamorganvale..2nd was PALEFACE KATIE from 200 metres with cool dude HAYDEN GREEN (scroll down) looking pleased at the result..

THIS IS AMBITION -- NOT NAKED AMBITION,OBVIOUSLY..LEONARD CAIN -- A MAN WITH A PLAN..
LEONARD CAIN,never one to shirk a challenge,tries on what looks very much like his mate,RYAN VEIVERS' colours.LEONARD is presenting his business plan here-- based on steady growth.
JEFF AND ISOBEL ROSS,WINNERS TODAY,BUT,FATTY AND KEEGHAN ARE KNOCKING ON THE DOOR..
Race 2 at the Rock went to JEFF,with ISOBEL ROSS in the sulky.Second placegetter was FATTY FINN with KEEGHAN SEFTON driving.After nearly 12 months "out of the money",FATTY and KEEGHAN might be about to get some reward for the "hard yards" they have been doing.
"IT AINT EASY BEING GREEN----BUT YOU'RE DOING A GOOD JOB"..REGARDS FROM K.FROG AND THE "TEMORA TORNADO"..
Promotably colored pony,PALEFACE KATIE and splendidly turned out driver,HAYDEN GREEN,captured striding out at the Rock.Quite seriously,this is a minaturised "BLAST FROM THE PAST"

LEARNING HOW TO GET 'EM AWAY..
Standing starts--driver practise and pony education.This should ensure well rounded driving skills on the racetracks of the future.
THIS LOOKS LIKE GENGHIS KHAN'S TRANSPORT UNIT..A "HORDE" OF PONIES..
Looking like a centipede with a few wheels for additional support,the 28 ponies present and correct for the first training day are captured in just one "LEONEpic"Things look bright for the future.
