Young Warragul trotting trainer Brad Walters will prepare his first race starter on his home track next Wednesday afternoon.
Walters trains the six-year-old trotting mare Miss Intense, who lines up for her debut race in the opening event at the twilight meeting at the Warragul Pacing Bowl.
On breeding, Miss Intense could make the grade. She is a half-sister to the former outstanding local trotter Billy Royle and is trained by Jenni Lewis, who owns Miss Intense.
Miss Intense is trained on the track, and Brad will know exactly how the course will race on Wednesday, given that he is in charge of preparing the Pacing Bowl for racing.
He is a graduate of the Gippsland Training Centre, and will be looking forward to seeing his horse compete on Wednesday.
Wednesday’s race is a real local affair – as well as Miss Intense five other local trainers are represented in the nine-horse field, the largest number of district trained horses in a trotters handicap at Warragul for some time.
Hardest of the locals to beat will be Omy Son, an impressive winner on the track last month, who has also won again since.
Trafalgar trotter Slancio is experienced, and ran a nice second to Omy Son at his first run from a spell last time out.
Last-start local winners Sammy Seelster and Zipping Elmo have come up with good barrier draws in an attempt to repeat the dose on Wednesday.
Entry is free to the six-race card which kicks off at 2:33pm, with a host of children’s activities planned for the school holiday event.
