The first race at Echuca has been run and won.
1st Heeza Bonza, 2nd Danish Rock, 3rd Spirit of Choice. Danish Rock was beaten by about five lengths but fought on well for second, kicking again in the straight to fight off the challenge from Spirit of Choice.
A wonderful start to what, is hopefully, a long and successful racing career!!
Paid $2.40 the place on the TAB.
Listeners to Sportzfan Radio will have heard the Professor and the Gelding talk about Danish Rock, a horse they have an interest in.
Today is the big day….Danish Rock has his first start at Echuca in Race 1, the Criterion Hotel Rochester over 1200 metres. He is Horse 3 and has been well drawn at barrier 4 in a field of fourteen. The current odds are at 10/1.
Too bad the Gelding is in Hawaii and will miss the horse’s debut!
