Pier almost back to former glory THE restoration of Frankston Pier is inching closer to completion. Planks have been installed at the end of the pier to replace old worn down ones. In August last year the pier was damaged during a storm. A 20 metre section at the end of the pier snapped off in winds of up to 95kmph (“Pier cant weather the storm”, The Times, 12/8/19). After a period of delays, work finally got underway to rebuild the pier in March. A new disability ramp will be installed as part of the works. Picture: Gary Sissons
Lack of support for council workers ‘disappointing’ Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au STOOD down Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre employees are no closer to receiving financial support during the COVID-19 crisis. Workers employed through local councils have been hit hard during the coronavirus pandemic, and are not eligible to receive the federal government’s JobKeeper supplement. Almost 300 staff stood down at
PARC were left without pay in March because the pool is operated by Peninsula Leisure, a council-owned entity. Frankston mayor Sandra Mayer has written to Treasurer Josh Frydenberg asking for local government employees to be included in the JobKeeper scheme. “Following the closure of leisure centres in March 2020 as a measure to combat the spread of COVID-19, PARC has lost approximately $1 million of revenue each month - a sig-
nificant gap that council alone cannot fill whilst continuing to deliver vital services, infrastructure upgrades and projects to our community,” Cr Mayer wrote. “The Australian government’s decision to specifically exclude local government employees and employees of subsidiary organisations from the JobKeeper payment is extremely disappointing and has already resulted in over 259 casual employees being regrettably stood down locally. “Receiving the JobKeeper payment
will mean these local jobs will have the security they need to get through this difficult and uncertain time, especially for those whose personal circumstances may mean they are ineligible for the JobSeeker payment.” Cr Mayer asked the federal government to “seek an amendment to the JobKeeper Scheme eligibility definitions to improve its support for local businesses” and “seek a reversal of the Australian government’s decision to exclude local government employees from the JobKeeper program and
eligibility criteria.” Federal Liberal senator and patron for Dunkley, David Van, diverted responsibility to the state government. “I call upon the Victorian Government to expand their support for Victorian casual public sector employees to include the Victorian local council employees who they are currently leaving behind,” he said.

Feedback wanted on pet rules FEEDBACK has opened for the development of Frankston Council’s next Domestic Animal Management Plan. The surveys prepared by council for residents include questions about cat curfews, fenced free roam areas, free roam areas on the foreshore, dogs being walked on sports ovals, cats roaming outside of their premises, and safety when walking dogs.
Questions about potential changes to allow dogs in the Frankston CBD were ripped out of the consultation process by Frankston councillors at a meeting earlier this year (“Community denied say on dog ban, The Times, 17/3/20). Frankston’s Domestic Animal Management Plan must be renewed every four years. The current plan has been active since 2017.
Residents can take the survey at surveymonkey.com/r/ST968R8. Feedback can also be emailed to council at info@frankston.vic.gov.au using the subject line “DAMP Review”.

A MAP showing the areas in Frankston which are covered by 5G (purple).
Telstra switches on 5G Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au THE first sites of Telstra’s 5G network on the Mornington Peninsula are now up and running. The switch-on follows completion in March to upgrades of the telecommunication company’s mobile sites. Sorrento, Blairgowrie and Rye join parts of Melbourne, and several regional locations, where the 5G rollout has started. Telstra currently reports 5G coverage in Seaford and areas of Frankston. Telstra regional general manager Loretta Willaton said the roll-out was a “game-changer for locals and businesses”.
“It will provide Telstra customers using 5G devices with higher speeds, lower latency, and greater capacity, especially in peak times when the network can be at its busiest,” she said. “There’ll also be flow-on benefits to our 4G users with upgrades to our mobile network on the peninsula, improving capacity for all our mobile customers.” To use 5G, users will need a 5Genabled phone, 5G coverage and a 5G mobile plan. If they move to an area where there is no 5G access, their phones will revert to 4G. Customers can get more information on Telstra 5G and see the latest devices at Telstra.com/5G or at their nearest Telstra store.

STOOD down PARC employees are still stranded without pay. Picture: Supplied
No pay solution yet for stood down PARC workers Continued from Page 1 “Currently, local government employees who have lost their jobs are being supported by the federal government’s JobSeeker Payment and Coronavirus Supplement, but are being ignored by the Andrews Government. For example nearly 300 employees from Peninsula Aquatic and Recreation Centre, a subsidiary of Frankston City Council, have been stood down and neither the council nor the state government are support-
ing them,” Senator Van said. “The National Cabinet agreed on 3 April that state governments are responsible for helping local councils manage the impact of COVID-19. “While I was pleased to see the Victorian Government take responsibility for casual Victorian public sector employees through the Jobs and Skills Exchange Program, I was disappointed that they chose not to extend this support to employees of local councils and their subsidiaries.”
259 casual staff and 26 permanent staff were stood down at PARC on 23 March. Peninsula Leisure CEO Tim Gledhill said “we are committed to having all our people back at work as soon as possible to support the reopening and to ensure PARC is positioned to once again deliver high quality health and wellbeing services to the Frankston community (“Stood down PARC workers ineligible for support program”, The Times, 20/4/20).”

Police patrol
with Brodie Cowburn
Tributes paid to fallen officers POLICE officers in Frankston stood outside their station last week to remember the life of a police officer killed while on duty on EastLink. Constable Josh Prestney was laid to rest on 4 May. His funeral was the last of the four police officers killed in the horror smash. A Cranbourne truck driver was
charged with four counts of culpable driving after the fatal crash, which occurred on 22 April. Flowers and cards have also been left at the Frankston Police Station by members of the community. “We would like to thank the community for their overwhelming support during what has been an
extremely difficult time for Victoria Police,” a police statement read.

Legal assistance is still available THE Peninsula Community Legal Centre will continue to offer legal assistance to people during the coronavirus crisis. The PCLC is a not-for-profit based in Frankston which offers free legal services to those who need it. Although the doors to the centre are shut during the ongoing pandemic, the centre is continuing to offer services over the phone. The centre offers advice and assistance in the areas of family law, family violence, tenancy, fines and general law, debt, crime, and employment. While the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing, the centre will provide duty lawyer services remotely at the Federal Circuit Court in Dandenong and the Magistrates’ Court at Frankston and Moorabbin. The centre’s social worker is also still available to help with non-legal needs. Phone appointments can be made by calling 9783 3600. Phone lines are open 9-5 Monday to Friday.
Donors helping in tough times FOOD and internet connectivity have emerged as the main areas of need as Mornington Peninsula residents battle their way through COVID-19. The struggle for some has been made easier by donations from philanthropists and prompt assistance from the Mornington Peninsula
Foundation, which has provided mobile phones, internet access and devices to students and people experiencing homelessness. Donations made through the foundation exceed $150,000. CEO Stephanie Exton said the foundation and its partners were grateful to trusts and foundations, individuals and families who have “quickly and proactively contributed funds”. “Special thanks go to the Ross Trust which quickly stepped forward with direct support,” she said. Money has gone to community support and information centres at Hastings, Rosebud and Mornington, which have remained open as essential emergency relief services. Ms Exton said the philanthropy had encouraged new ways of thinking about food and ways in which struggling cafes and restaurants could link with community food agencies. It also led to underutilised staff at Somers Residential School Camp cooking 350 meals a week for families in need.
Shoes on us: Bata BATA Shoes in Mornington is offering a free pair of $50 work shoes to aged care and health care workers during May. The company’s graphic design and marketing manager Brad Rayson said the offer was influenced by the valuable role these workers are playing during the current COVID-19 pandemic. “The sign went up [outside the factory] today and we are starting to get lots of calls,” he said, Thursday 7 May. “To take advantage of the offer workers can come in and flash their employer ID.” Bata makes only PVC gumboots at its Oakbank Road site. Other plants overseas have switched their operations to making face masks.
Agent wants help for landlords, tenants Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au PROPERTY manager Nichols Crowder is lobbying Frankston and Mornington Peninsula councils to help landlords and tenants by deferring property rates and dropping marketing levies. Director Michael Crowder says councils, banks, utilities, insurers and governments “should be waiving or freezing payments – interest free – in line with the mandatory code-ofconduct”. “In this way the costs a [landlord] saves can be passed on directly to their tenants.” Mr Crowder wrote to the councils asking them to waive the marketing and promotional fund levy for commercial businesses. Mornington Peninsula Shire had not responded by Friday 1 May, but Frankston Council refused to remove the 25 per cent levy on the basis that “businesses can afford it and it is tax deductible”. If Frankston dropped the levy it would mean the council would have to take the “unpalatable” decision to increase residential rates. “We are not advocating for an increase in residential rates at all. We believe they are too much as it is. We want the council to reduce [them],” Mr Crowder said. “We would like both councils to defer the balance of [their] 2019-20 rates in line with the banks with no interest charged and we want a commitment rates will not be increased in 2020-21.” Mr Crowder said COVID-19 had made it a “very difficult time both for landlords and tenants”. “None of us knew [the pandemic]
MICHAEL Crowder says he wants Frankston and Mornington Peninsula councils to help landlords and tenants.
was coming, we couldn’t prepare for it, we can’t control it and we have no idea how long it’s going to last,” he said. The “emotional and financial impact it is having on our clients, tenants, staff and family is unprecedented”. Problems were exacerbated for agents “trying to get our heads around all the various state and federal business support packages”, Mr Crowder said. These ranged from business support funds, tax relief packages, the JobKeeper program, cash flow assistance packages and now the federal government’s mandatory code-of-
conduct for commercial tenants. “In the first few weeks [of the pandemic] it was changing by the hour. It was very difficult to keep up. Then we would get constant updates from owners, their accountants, solicitors, the REIV. As with any legislation they all had a different opinion.” The mandatory code which came into effect on 3 April has given agents a set of good faith leasing principals applying to landlords and tenants. Once legislated, tenants registered for JobKeeper can apply for rental assistance, but under strict rules relating to breaches of lease and turnover.
“Ultimately, tenants need to demonstrate to an owner (or their agent) how much their business has been affected by COVID-19 and that means providing financials,” Mr Crowder said. “It must be sufficient and accurate so an owner can make an informed decision. “Once we have such information, agreements will be reached around rent payable, rent waivers and rent deferrals. In most cases variations to extend leases will be entered into to protect both parties. “If agreements cannot be reached the Victorian small business commis-
sioner will be the final arbitrator.” Mr Crowder said while new rules stated tenants cannot be evicted for six months, they must continue paying rent. “As the Prime Minister Scott Morrison said: ‘Leases entered into are still legally binding’,” he said. “The big issue for agents is that we are the middle men, we are not financial advisors and it’s very difficult keeping both landlords and tenants happy. There’s no winners or losers here but tenants and landlords must work together and share the pain.” Mr Crowder said landlords had to cope with mortgages, rates, taxes, and maintenance fees which cannot be waived – only deferred. “Some of our clients are having to forego 75 per cent of [their property’s] rental for six months, which is never to be paid back, while the balance is amortised and paid back over a minimum of two years,” he said. Managing these issues are real estate agents whose staff are “on the front line”. “There is a misconception that property managers have no concern for tenants or that they have no feelings,” he said. “Quite the contrary, our staff are wonderful, kind, loyal, hardworking people. Mums and dads with children. “We have a difficult job. Most of our clients and tenants are great and understand this situation is not of our making while others are angry and abusive. You sometimes see the worst in people when their backs are to the wall.” He said his staff were “dealing with about 300 emails and 200 phone calls a day. We would just ask for everyone to be kind, patient and understanding. We will get through this together.” Frankston Times

Teachers parade through streets Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au EDITHVALE Primary School students had the opportunity to thank their teachers last week for their hard work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Teachers from the school paraded through Edithvale on 4 May as students and parents watched on and waved. Edithvale Primary School parent Michael Cummings said “it was just so cool to see the kids’ faces light up as their teachers and other school staff came past.” “The school has done an amazing job with its distance learning program, just superb, but there’s no substitute for face to face contact,” he said. “It was also great for the parents to get out and see each other again. Educating our kids from home has been really rewarding in lots of ways, but it also comes with its own challenges and frustrations. “Edithvale Primary is a very special school community, and seeing all the kids and parents out there saying thanks to their teachers was just another reminder of that.”
EDITHVALE Primary School grade one students Darcy and Tekaihau thanked their teachers last week. Pictures: Supplied
Council call centre open FRANKSTON Council has opened a call centre service to assist people who need to access services during the coronavirus pandemic. Frankston mayor Sandra Mayer said “the call centre is designed to facilitate connection with service agencies along with council services, including but not limited to meals assistance, housing and family violence supports, financial hardship services, parenting and aged services information.” “We recognise that our community’s needs are different at the moment, including that of our business community. Many residents and businesses are doing it tough and some are accessing support services for the first time,” she said. “We understand that navigating services can be overwhelming so our
call centre staff are trained to put you in touch with the right people to help you with your situation.” Call the community recovery call centre on 1300 322 322. Open Monday to Friday, 8.30am-5.30pm.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Pea rifle nuisance – valuable dog shot This offense took place at the same time and under circumstances similar to those detailed to the previous case. P.M.: You boys are fortunate. You might have been here on another charge. You are fined £2 in default 7days. The other boy referred to was dealt with in the children’s court. He was charged with shooting a dog, and was fined 2s 6d. *** INVALID soldiers had an alI day outing at Frankston last Sunday, and they voted the trip one of the most successful of the year. The Wattle Club served lunch at midday and the good things provided were greatly appreciated. After lunch the Frankston Brass Band played an interesting selection of music during the afternoon. At 3 o’clock the afternoon contingent arrived from the hospital making a party exceeding 100. Afternoon tea produced more music, songs and fun and the usual ‘thanks’ brought a happy day to an end. Miss Gregory, President of the Wattle Club, received the visitors and Mrs A. G. Wilcox, as secretary, supervised arrangements in excellent style. *** MR C. L. Bell, late of P Jewell, Dandenong, has purchased the boot business lately carried on by Mr A. Sullivan, in Bay Street Frankston. Mr Bell in association with Mr P. Jewell’s well known firm is not a stranger to the outlying district and
Compiled by Cameron McCullough BERT McSweeney appeared to answer a charge of unlawfully discharging a missile at Frankston on 27th March, last. He pleaded guilty. Constable Keogh, deposed that on the date in question he was on temporary duty at Frankston. From information received he interviewed defendant who admitted having discharged a pea rifle near Jacobs stables in Frankston in company with two other lads named Mills and Hodgkinson. Witness was able to trace the bullets which penetrated a paling fence and were embedded in an opposite wall. Senior Constable Bray, who conducted the prosecution stated that the practice of using pea rifles within the town boundary was a very dangerous one. On this occasion a valuable dog had been shot. P.M.: Why did you not charge him with discharging firearms within the town boundary? Senior Constable Bray: This section of the Act presented difficulties. Frankston is not a town within the meaning of the Act. P.M.: It is the first time I have know a person guilty of discharging firearms charged with throwing missiles. Defendant was fined £2 in default 14 days. The fine was paid. Frank Mills, 17½ years of age, next pleaded guilty to discharging firearms on private property without the permission of the owner.
he comes to Frankston with a high reputation as a first class tradesman. He intends conducting his business on up-to-date lines on strictly cash terms. *** A EUCHRE party and dance under the auspices of the Frankston Brass Band was held last evening and proved highly successful. There was a large attendance and this arrangement were carried out in a very satisfactory manner. The prize winners were :Ladies (Mrs McSweeney), gents (Mr W. Clements). Both prizes were donated by Mr and Mrs C. W Wood. *** LADY Madden has returned to Australia after an extended trip to the Old Country. *** REV. A. P. and Mrs MacFarlane have been spending the past month at Bacchus Marsh. *** MR Thomas Long, who years ago was one of Frankston’s most Progressive residents, passed away at his home at Surrey Hills last week. The late Mr Long was proprietor of Ballam Park, Frankston, some years ago. *** Heard in the Train Sunday tennis in Frankston – to be or not to be – has been the chief topic of interest during the past few days. Many argue that if Sunday golf, Sunday motoring, and Sunday boating are permissible, why not Sunday

tennis. All “weary Willies” heartily approve the no Sunday bathing proposition, and quote, in support of their contention, the biblical injunction – “six days shalt thou labor.” With the so called electric light cut off every night at 11 o’clock, it is evidently expected that Frankston residents should go to bed with the fowls. A branch of the Returned Soldiers’ Association was opened on Saturday evening last, under most favorable auspices. Trophies won in the recent Peninsula Cricket Competition, will be presented at a social to be held at Hastings, tomorrow night. The new scale of railway fares hits Frankston exceedingly hard, representing an increase of nearly 100 percent on the old cost of a return trip to Melbourne, if the mileage basis is adhered to in conjunction with the abolition of return tickets. The formation of a branch of the Victorian Taxpayers’ Association in Frankston, is a step in the right direction. Football enthusiasts are putting on their war paint for the opening of the season, which commences tomorrow. The start for the Marathon race takes place at the Frankston Park tomorrow at 1.30pm. The Minister suggests that the question as to the sale of the Shire Council’s Hall at Somerville, should be submitted to a Referendum of the ratepayers at the elections in August next.
Invalid soldiers had a great day at Frankston last Sunday, as the guests of the Wattle Club. *** Letter to the Editor Sir, The avenue of trees planted along the Melbourne road last year, after a years growth, do not at present give the indications of their ever attaining to the noble avenue of trees which is so much desired, considering the purpose for which they were planted, and it must be a disappointment to many to seen such unsatisfactory results. As it is, some trees that have been looked after have made good growths, one in particular having taken such a lead that may always leave it far ahead of the rest. This is not desirable, as I take it an avenue should have for its greatest beauty and glory a uniform growth with each tree. This could best be attained by attention to each tree during the first year of planting. and by such attention as watering and stimulating the weaker trees by reinforcing the soil around their butts, and providing a letter to conserve moisture, they would have made a lofter growth, and perhaps all would have survived the past summer’s long dry spells and the avenue being a fair way to become what we all wish: To glory and pride of all. Yours. etc, VISITOR.. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 7 May 1920

Plans to make Pines great again SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie FRANKSTON Pines has signed off on a $3.9 million revamp of Monterey Reserve with work to start next February. The State 3 outfit is also eyeing a deal with Melbourne Victory as part of an ambitious expansion plan that could return the club to former glory. Pines has been keen to redevelop a junior program that waned and eventually shut down around 12 years ago. Enter A-League heavyweight Victory with an offer of free weekly clinics for local primary school children. It was too good to refuse and was quickly accepted by Pines president Lee Davies. “I think it’s part of a community program Victory runs and they’ve told us they will market and publicise it and contact all the local schools,” Davies said. “They recently messaged me to remind me that they are ready to go once we get the green light to train.” Pines’ expansion plans also could involve Football Victoria as the club closes in on becoming the state’s coaching education hub in the southern region. This opportunity emerged from talks the club held with former Langwarrin technical director Stephen Fisher, a former Pines player. “I’d love to set up Pines as a base and run coaching courses out of there,” Fisher said. “There’s a lot of guys on the peninsula that need accreditation points to maintain their licences so I’m looking at running seminars and workshops for that purpose. “On Monday nights, for example, the ground is free so courses can be run there then and people can come down and put on their sessions. “I’ve spoken to Craig Moore (FV coaching education manager) and Boris (Seroshtan, FV technical director) and they’re keen to do it.” Fisher currently assists Doug Hodgson who coaches Doveton’s NPL under-18s. The Monterey makeover is the biggest infrastructure project in Pines’ history and initial funding of $1.43 million will be an approved expenditure in next financial year’s Frankston council budget.
Partner for Pines: Local club Frankston Pines hopes that its link with Melbourne Victory will underpin the re-emergence of its junior program.
The clubrooms are being rebuilt and some of the features of the new structure will be its height with flooring roughly 1.5 metres higher than present and a glass front to enable spectators to watch matches from inside. There will be an embankment in front of the clubrooms and it’s expected that new dugouts will be built with Pines keen to situate the away team dugout on the outer part of the main pitch. Four new changerooms, male and female referees rooms, a new bar and new canteen could transform the venue into one of the district’s finest. Meanwhile Football Victoria’s hopes for a resumption of training as a precursor to a season reboot hinged on the outcome of a state government cabinet meeting held yesterday (Monday). On Friday Prime Minister Scott Morrison unveiled a three-step process of easing current pandemic re-

dent Tanya Wallace is an Emergency Department Registered Nurse at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. Prior to the sport’s shutdown Langy had announced a handshake ban which at the time raised a few eyebrows but that didn’t stop Wallace from making the club’s stance clear. “I was at senior training for two weeks in a row yelling at my senior team whenever any handshakes or high-fives happened,” Wallace said. “Look I understand how hard it is to break a routine but I had to make it clear that there was no need for it and it had to stop.” She also introduced sanitising protocols that seem certain to become a necessary condition for clubs to resume training and competition. “We bought a lot of hand sanitiser and soap before the lockdown and I’d put in place new procedures with the coaches like washing bibs after every use and wiping down balls, cones and poles – whatever equipment they
strictions. The previous week the prime minister had announced national cabinet’s endorsement of the AIS document “Framework for Rebooting Sport in a COVID-19 Environment”, which outlined a set of baseline standards for levels A, B and C activities leading to a resumption of competition. Level A activities include running and cycling and were already allowed under Victoria’s stage 3 restrictions and Friday’s national cabinet announcement aligned step 1 in the easing of restrictions to level B in the AIS document whereby groups of 10 athletes can train. It’s clear that this can only be implemented by Football Federation Australia and FV through a system of self-regulation where clubs are responsible for closely monitoring training numbers in any one group.

were using had to be washed down and there was a space to do that at the club. “We’ll go back to doing that when training starts up. “Deep cleaning will have to occur after each group uses the clubrooms. “The whole thing is a massive strain on everyone because at the end of the day we’re all volunteers. “Some of us are still working, some of us are out of work so it’s a really stressful time for everybody. “I know what needs to be done and I can educate people within my club but that’s not the case with all the clubs so Football Victoria really needs to provide every club with a document that’s easy to read and easy to follow so that we are all sticking to the guidelines here.” Frankston Pines head coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor had anticipated that training numbers would be restricted and had already put in place plans to allow training to get underway as soon as approval is granted. “We’re hopeful of being back training this week,” Taylor said. “Once premier Dan Andrews signs off on this then I’m expecting that FFA and FV will release a statement saying we can begin level B activities and we’re 100 per cent ready to go.” FFA currently has suspended all of the sport’s activities until the end of the month but that is expected to be overturned. “We’ve been using a group app to stay in touch with the players and I’ve made it clear that we don’t want to start from scratch when there’s probably only a few weeks before competition begins. “We’ll start with three groups of 10, nine players and one coach per group and if need be we’ll stagger start times of the sessions so that we won’t have them all training at the one time but we’ve certainly got enough space to organise this. “The players can’t wait to get going.” It won’t only be a return to training that will give Pines’ players cause for celebration. Club stalwart Hayden Taylor, the coach’s eldest son, announced last week that he was engaged to be married to partner Mel Rich. The couple have two children, nineyear-old Lucy, and one-year-old Kai.

Apprentice lands two trebles in a week HORSE RACING
By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON-based apprentice jockey, Campbell Rawiller, has made a flying start to May by riding two trebles within a week of each other. The 19-year-old hoop landed his first treble at Bairnsdale on Sunday 3 May before booting home a second treble five days later at Wangaratta on Friday 8 May. Rawiller started with a bang at Bairnsdale, kicking home a winner in the third race for his boss Logan McGill. Rawiller sat just off the leader before pouncing around the bend and kicking clear in the straight for a comfortable 5-length maiden victory aboard the lightly raced Beguilement ($). After two more rides, one of which he finished a close second in, Rawiller returned to the winner’s stall in the sixth race of the day. Gaining the ride on the Matthew Brown-trained Barossa Kiss ($), Rawiller came from offmidfield before rounding up his rivals and holding on to score a short-head victory. Rawiller secured the winning treble aboard another one of his boss’ horses, He Can Star ($), in the eighth race of the day. Striding freely, Rawiller allowed He Can Star to cruise out in front before kicking clear in the straight to score a dominant 5.5-length victory. The win also topped off a solid day for the McGill stable who saddled up two winners and a second from
their three runners. It didn’t take long for Rawiller to notch up yet another treble, as five days later he booted home another three winners at Wangaratta. Rawiller kicked off his day with a victory aboard the Shaun Dwyertrained Punk Princess ($) in the opening race. Ridden with intent, Punk Princess sat up in the leading three before Rawiller dug deep to get the most out of the filly in the final 100m. Rawiller made it a running double as he got the Brian McGrath-trained outsider, Rajpipla ($41), home in the second race on the card. It was a quality steer having come from the back before cutting the corner and weaving his way through the field to score a three-quarter length victory. The win also brought up Rawiller’s 50th career winner since commencing race riding in September last year. He then placed aboard another one of Brian McGrath’s runners, Peace Lily, in the third race before notching up the treble in the fourth race of the day aboard the Sean Mott-trained In Her Honour ($). He settled outside the leader in the 2000m event and finished off solidly in the straight to hold off the late charge from Logan McGill’s Von Mystic, which was ridden by his uncle, Brad Rawiller. Rawiller’s record now sits at 51 winners and 95 placings from his 457 rides, with his last 35 rides returning a winning strike-rate of 20%.
