Duo out to extend winning streaks in Central Vic Championships

27 January 2012 - It certainly seems to be the weekend for horses looking to increase their winning streaks. The two most notable are champion thoroughbred Black Caviar and outstanding standardbred pacer Sushi Sushi which are each on track for 17 straight unbeaten performances. At Charlton on Sunday two horses won’t get the press of the other two star equine headline makers but they will race for handsome prizemoney cheques at the major country meeting. The St Arnaud Club host the finals of the Warehouse Sales Central Victorian Pacing & Trotting Championships and both finals have brought together outstanding fields with two horses, Rejuvenation and Galleons Prospect standing out with winning streaks. The South Australian trained trotter Rejuvenation shoots for 8 wins in a row in the $30,000 Group 2 Trotting Final and former New Zealander Galleons Prospect is out to keep its unbeaten six win streak in Australia in place. There is no doubt that the Central Victorian Trotting Championship Final is Rejuvenation’s toughest assignment. Trainer Ray Goble brought the Wind Cries Maori gelding to Charlton for the Boort Club heat earlier this month and with talented Adelaide reinsman Ryan Hryhorec steering he got the cash with Rejuvenation downing Enjoy A Coldie and Living Bonus. Elsu gelding Galleons Prospect hasn’t put a foot wrong for the Stewart stable and Chris Alford will drive the impressive pacer in the $30,000 Group 3 Pacing Championship. From the number two gate on the front row he will be highly fancied to continue on his winning way. The Central Victorian Pacing Championship program starts at 4:42PM on Sunday at the Charlton track. The Club has plenty of family activities planned with lucky draw prizes including a big screen TV and an IPOD for the kid’s competition.
