Two each for Gurry and George
Local trainers Garry George and Andrea Gurry were both successful twice this week at multiple tracks around the state and at home locally in Horsham.
Western Bale kicked the week off for Andrea Gurry, winning at Ballarat. Last away Western
Bale worked to fourth on the corner but was then caught in a bumping duel and looked gone
on turning for home, but once he got clear air, he flashed down the outside and got the
money in a massive run.
Mean Peace for Garry George continued on her winnings ways, making it three on the
bounce for the smart record of four starts for three wins and a second.
On Tuesday at Horsham, she exploded from the middle trap and displayed her customary early pace, setting up a race-winning lead by the corner and cruising to a four-length victory in the smart time of 23:47sec.
Napier Bale then gave Gurry her second winner for the week, also on the Horsham card, sent
out a $1.30 fav, Napier was midfield early but used great field sense to plot his way through
the race until he could find a run halfway down the home straight, and from there, he
rocketed away, winning well in 23:59sec.
George then headed to Bendigo on Friday and struck for the second time for the week,
Crank It was victorious over the 500m journey. Jumping straight to the front Crank It made all
the running and was never in danger of being run down, winning well in 28:32sec.
