BBQ Stakes Wednesday 8th February 2012
The number of competitors grabs the spotlight today, with 63 competing.
They ranged from Phillip McGilvray, who hasn't run the stakes for about 4 years now, but had an up to date, square type garmin, his best marathon time is around 2 hours 30 minutes. He came home first but was ineligible due to his long absence from the stakes. Timekeeper was Axel Godeck recently retired, who had a win last week and has run somewhere like 369 stakes, and no need to guess which AFL team he follows, since it is mentioned quite often at the run, of course it's Carlton. Today's field included Richard White, who I think was talked into a run in the stakes by his father, Jim, and the people at IP Australia. Sorry I don't have the names of the placegetters, but I think first was Ellie across the line at 39:44, second was Florienne and third was Daneesh. The trophy for the 2011 Honest John Award, named to honor John Carmody, was given to Terry Dixon, and the pointscore trophy for 2011 was ready to be awarded to Bruce Wight, except the engravers spelled his surname incorrectly as Wright. That will be given back for correction, to the engravers before being formally given. I think Paul Baumgartner, being 20 th across the line received a special prize, an upmarket drink bottle. Mark Wilson has donated several such prizes for randomly being given.
