Mark Wallis took 4 of
the 8 Trainers Championship races with Roswell Spaceman
(Sprint), Star Of Dromin (Stayers), January Tiger (Standard) and
Blackmagic Guy (Stayers). With all his runners finishing no
worse than 4th he sealed the competition when Blackmagic Guy
took the penultimate race. The turning point was probably the
fall of Charlie Lister's Bat On (race won by January Tiger)
which left Wallis clear on points after Lister had started to
close menacingly on his lead. Congratulations go to
Mark Wallis
and Imperial Kennels and to all Trainers on a fantastic nights
racing, especially to our member Trainers
