TUESDAY NIGHT HEFFR DEVON MIDDLEDITCH OUTSPRINTS FIELD TO WIN HANDICAP RACE 19 December 2017 While the Trophy Race for elite riders was underway a 15 lap handicap race for B and C grade was conducted with the conditions and solid field of over 50 riders providing plenty of action. For most of the race C grade looked like their advantage might prevail however the stronger B grade numbers closed the race down with 4 laps to go. Surprisingly the bulk of the race stayed together with all but 12 riders from both grades making it to the bell lap. Devon Middleditch is no stranger to Heffron regularly competing at Randwick and Sydney Uni races during the year but when he kicked from the bottom corner and held off the entire field to win by a length it was by far his best result at Heffron Park. Ben Daley was the bridesmaid and also finishing several lengths in front of the bunch to cap off another strong race. Malaysian rider Iban Hissham came home 3rd to provide the Malaysian squad yet another podium in what has been a very successful visit to Australia. Although he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recognised on the podium after the race, big shout out to 5th placed rider Dave Watkinson who won C Grade. Well done Dave Heffron Park and Sydney newcomer Brodie Chapman was first woman home and is now super excited sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made the move from Melbourne, although the 7th placed rider in the Trophy Race is most probably a big reason for the move.
