The strong winds blowing across the track did little to slow Andrew Taylor, Charlotte Strahorn and Hannah Tailby, with all three racing to triple-wins.

The combined C and D grade 6-lap scratch race was raced intelligently by the riders, with the group staying together to share the workload and minimise the effect of the wind. Emma Apolony broke from the group in the final lap in an attempt to snatch a win, but was caught in the final few hundred by Peter Strahorn who rode on to win, and Geoff Fouracre who scraped into second.

Haylee Fuller had a strong win in the Junior Development Squad 1-lap scratch race, with second going to Isaac Lovegrove who had to put in a late effort to hold off Zara Fuller in third.

Charlotte Strahorn rode to her second of three wins in the Junior Division 2 2-lap handicap. She led the group into the final lap and shot away to put thirty metres on Henry Taylor in second.

Dylan Eather left his final sprint too late, getting past Henry into second place but unable to put a dent in Charlotte’s lead.

Henry Taylor had an excellent 3-lap handicap race later in the evening, holding onto his handicap while a group of three riders worked together behind. Despite looking like catching Henry in the last lap, a final push kept them at bay, and Henry rode to a healthy win, with Charlotte Strahorn in second and Courtney Granger in third.

The Junior Division 1 2-lap handicap was controlled from the front by brothers Daniel and Matt Neil. Luke Ensor, starting as backmarker, managed to pull himself up to the group and into third place, but he was unable to catch Daniel and Matt Neil who took first and second respectively.

The 20-lap scratch race once again closed the night’s racing, and the riders did not allow the wind to slow the pace, despite a lack of attacking. Joshua Apolony shot away from the pack in the final few laps but was caught with one and a half to go by sprinter Andrew Taylor.

Simon Ross, with Craig Lennox in tow, attempted to catch the leaders in the final lap with a surge away from the group.

Apolony and Taylor, however, were already too far ahead, allowing Taylor to jump to victory in the final few hundred metres, with Apolony taking second, and Lennox getting around Ross to take third.
