Stawell Racing Club trainers score impressive results in June

First up, Andrew Bobbin started June strongly for our local Stawell trainers with Scottish Dancer winning over 1600 metres at Bendigo earlier in the month.

Bobbin also scored his first metropolitan winner as Scottish Dancer repeated its impressive run, again over the mile at Murray Bridge.

There were also winners in Ballarat, with Cracking Night saluting for Majella Ballentine over the 1400 metres.

There was also a placing for the Ballentine stable with two-year old first starter Silent Sermon racing well in Ballarat.

The Longerenong-based trainer has become a frequent visitor to the Stawell training centre, which is continuing to be set-up to attract other country trainers to the region.
