Sittingbourne RGT Charity Night 7/5/10

Honeyhills PWRC Exhibition Race

After two trials sessions, 23rd - 30th April at the Sittingbourne track, five Honeyhills PWRC Whippets took to the sand under lights and in front of nearly 2,000 noisy people.

The race distance was over 199m, 218y approx around the 3rd and 4th bend.

Shadow had posted the two fastest times in the trials and went off as the odds on jolly. A book was opened for the race and my attempts to influence 6/4 the field fell on deaf ears!

Diamond Geezer after being declared fit to race by owners Colin and Tina Jennings trailed on the 30th and although totally missing his break ran the bend like a champion that he is.

The race card read as. (abbreviated)
