Normanton Sprint Races The Normanton Sprint races held on the 19th of September were a huge success, and the envy of the rest of us who couldn’t get to watch these wonderful horses compete. The meeting was comprised of eight races with a Calcutta proving popular for the Normanton Cup. The day brought a good crowd and the trainers and owners brought with them the very essence of horse racing: “My horse is faster than your horse”. The Stars of North Queensland were there with the winner of the Mailman Express, Casey and The Sudan Dip Cup Winner Chick Ching Cash The Results of the Normanton Sprint Race meeting: Race 1 - Northern Rural Group Novice Ala Dozen 1st Panama Paladin Fable Comet Like A Rock 2nd Black Tracker Fade To Blue Blaze N Star 3rd Stars Applause Diamond Applause(TB) Winner Trained by Paul Edwards Race 4 - End Of The Road Motel Qualifier Cash On Loan 1st Kaweah Cash Burnett Vale Top Dozen Dinki Di Merlot 2nd Jabelle Mighty Judge Dinki Di Lady Judge Ala Dozen 3rd Ala Sugar Grandstand Bunny Blue Winner trained by Ashley Gallager Race 2 - Gulf Concrete Open Greased Lightening 1st Fearless I’ll Be Your Huckleberry Like A Rock 3rd Casey Price Of Love Winner Trained by Paul Edwards Race 5 - Gobble N Go Gallop Greased Lightening 1st Fearless I’ll Be Your Huckleberry Like A Rock 2nd Casey Price Of Love Ala Dozen 3rd Ala Gator Grandstand Bunny Blue Winner Trained by Paul Edwards Race 3 - Toms Tonkas Qualifier Like A Rock 1st Black Magic Dozen Editions Blaze N Star 2nd Kellys Star Accidentaly Kelly Street Exceed N Excell 3rd Mazuka(TB) Princess Polinia Winner Trained by Paul Edwards Race 6 - Joe O Neil Memorial Flutter Ala Dozen 1st Panama Paladin Fable Comet Chick Regards 2nd Chick Ching Cash Lady Slot Like A Rock 3rd Black Tracker Fade To Blue Winner Trained by Paul Edwards 2nd Sky Rose(TB) Race 7 - Albion Hotel Sprint Ala Dozen 1st Ala Duke Dinky Di Symphony 2nd Jet Dinki Di Merlot 3rd Jabelle Thundering Boom Dinki Di Lady Race 8 - Cloncurry Mustering Stingers Cup Like A Rock 1st Black Magic Dozen Editions Greased Lightening 2nd Fearless I’ll Be Your Hucklebuck Dinky Di Merlot 3rd Jabelle Mighty Judge Dinky Di Lady Judge Winner Trained by Paul Edwards Normanton Cup Winners & Placegetters Paul Edwards fresh from his trip to Mt.
