                        Training Feats
Congratulations to Susan Gittus on a great win by MingDynasty
(over the 599m) owned by Paul Felgate. To make the win
even more special Ming Dynastry is Sired by the Tasmanian
Champion Chinatown Lad, she is from his first litter and Susan
also stood this talented bitches Grandfather at stud, Lillipilli Lad.
Ming Dynasty was running away from the field to win by
7 lengths. Congratulations to all, Tassie  will be keeping a close eye
on this litter.
 
Greg Homan trained Latro won well from the 8 box over the 340m winning by 2 lengths in a fast 19.54 well done Greg.
Another Northener who ventured down to Hobart was trainer Doug Cassidy and was rewarded for his efforts when favourite Casso Mac George won his grade 4 by a length.
Buckle Up Cullum had everything going against him, he certainly was not the punters pick when he stepped from box 8 and was bummped twice and still won by a head, he paid a huge $34.00 lets hope trainer Julie Bannan had a dollar or two on him. Well done Jules.
