Dual Sticks too good
Dual Sticks erased Sycamore’s previous C2 Addington class record for 2600 m mobile when she paced the distance in a fast 3:17.9 to win the feature event at the Canterbury Park Trotting Club’s on-course meeting last evening. This was .1 of a second inside Sycamore's old record, set on Anzac Day,
1986. The West Melton trainer, Grant Archer, prepares Dual Sticks for stable patron, Ashley Pascoe, a retired Kirwee farmer who also bred the half-sister to Crackerash.
Dual Sticks, a six-year-old daughter of Farm Timer, was recording her third win in 36 starts for Mr Pascoe last evening
and took her earnings to just under the $20,000 mark.
After taking up a handy spot early, Dual Sticks lost her place over the last lap in a competitively-run contest, but Archer had her out three wide to improve from beyond midfield at the 700 m. She finished best to win rather easily in the end by a length and a quarter. Hazlett, which led early, was shuffled back to the rear turning for home and finished fast late for second, with Royal Flier a strong-finishing third. Toss and All A Dream were the unlucky runners of the race.
