BBQ Stakes 20 th February 2013

Tim Wright was the outstanding competitor in the Stakes today, being rewarded with his Commemorative T - Shirt on completing his 400 th Stakes event.  Well run Tim.  And to keep him active he had a a pacemaker inserted in his chest a few months previously.  Well done Tim.

It is noted that Gabrielle has now achieved over 390 runs herself. They now become the second couple in the Stakes totals.  The leading couple is John and Maryanne Busteed, John with over 900, and Maryann over 150, I'll have to check what the statistics say about their runs.

It was learned that Anne Young, a prolific winner of awards for running has recently had a pacemaker installed, and hopefully can continue her running for many years to come.

Today's winner was Bruce Wight at 50:06 across the line following his 449th run, with a P.B. of 23:44 on 4th Nov 1999,second was Stephen Murphy at 50:15 across the line and third was Gordon Calcino on 50:22 over the line.

We welcomed Speedygeoff today, returning for a run in the Stakes, after upping his running distances. 

Friar had a run today, starting earlier than most, so adding to his total of over 1200 runs in the Stakes.

Sandy Lolicato started late today at 29:15, he missed his usual start time of 27:15.

Ben Reay walked and ran today, so helping towards his recovery.

Garry Bowen finished 52 nd today, Dan Buckley 53 rd and Terry Levings was 54 th,
