EMARGEE WINS THE JOAN BULLOCK MEMORIAL by Julie Maughan

Emargee had an all the way win in taking out the Joan Bullock Memorial at Tamworth on Sunday evening in what looked like a comfortable win but for trainer and reinsman Ricky Gordon he had to defended the victory in the Stewards room.

When Emargee shifted out down the home straight it allowed Rocknroll Annie from the Weidemann stables to take an inside run over the concluding stages.

It was a relief for Gordon when the Stewards gave the all clear and the Queenslander was happy to celebrate – especially after driving seven and half hours from Marburg to contest the feature race.

Tamworth trainer Barry Schipp maybe spacing the runs of his mare Tact Maria but he is most certainly securing some results with the method.

After commencing from barrier seven on Sunday night at the Tamworth Paceway Tact Maria had a convincing win in the Bearing Accessories Local Pace (1980m)

READILY IS READY by Julie Maughan

Readily gained some match fitness with all the racing at Tamworth over the January Carnival and for reinswoman Lola Weidemann she was pleased the gelding has improved off the runs to take out the Margaret Ford Memorial.

"He had a good draw but it was a hard run" said Weidemann who commenced from the eight barrier with Readily.

Second Major headed up the field as the bell sounded with Readily sitting four back on the outside running line with Weidemann giving chase and claimed Second Major as the field rounded the final turn.

WILLIAMS GETS A WINNER by Julie Maughan

Former Queensland trainer Richard Williams has finally landed in the winner’s circle after a handy win in the Brian Betts 70th Birthday Pace with Coralie Joy.

A decision to stay in Tamworth and develop up a team is finally paying dividends with Williams nearly achieving a training double on Sunday night but had to be content with just one – Coralie Joy.

Williams was returning Midnight Montana to the Paceway after the gelding was retired from his race the meeting before when Williams was tipped from the gig but showed great skills to hang onto the reins and the horse on that occasion.

The only casualty was a new set of driving pants and a new set of colours after they were ripped as Williams was dragged along the track.
