Friday night’s Diamond Classic (2130m) has been blown wide open, after dominant filly Water Lou drew the one barrier her trainer Mike Reed didn’t want her to draw.

Owner Tim Blee is making a habit of adding Country Cups to his mantel piece, and Sunday was no exception, with his horse Follow The Music taking out the Spry’s Meat Market King Coal Cup (2670m) at Collies opening meeting.

Shannon Suvaljko came off a high on Friday night after a metropolitan race-to-race double on board El Casanova NZ and Seeryanfly for trainer Garry Sayers, as well as an ownership double for Mike and Lyn Pike, but it was Sunday at Kellerberrin where he rose to occasion, walking away with six winning drives under his belt.

Lukes Mistake may have been an unintentional purchase back in 2021 at the Melbourne Yearling Sales, when Luke Tabbakh clicked on his mouse twice accidentally, resulting in a $10,000 bid securing him what he described as the smallest horse in the auction. But that purchase has now gone on to claim his third race with a win in the opener at Northam on Saturday night.

Group 1 WA Derby runner-up Hoppys Way will be out to recapture winning form when he lines up in tonight’s Garrard’s Horse & Hound Pace (2130m) at Gloucester Park this evening.
