Race Day Review: Polytrack Provincial-Midway Championships Saturday 23/03/2024
Kembla trainers Price Racing can now put next month's $1m Provincial-Midway Championships in their cross-hairs.
A determined second in last Saturday's Polytrack Provincial-Midway Championship Qualifier (1400m) at Kembla Grange propelled stable weapon Victory Lane into next month's main event at Royal Randwick.
New addition Ruby Flyer capped off a red-letter day for Hawkesbury trainer Brad Widdup Racing after the gelding defied Victory Lane to win Kembla's second heat of the series.
Widdup had a winning treble on the massive feature card but none were more important than Ruby Flyer's determined win that saw her soar into the final.
Ruby Flyer was formerly trained by Jason Attard and Lucy Keegan-Attard before moving to Widdup's yard at the beginning of this preparation.
The five-year-old talent made an immediate impression for his new yard after surging home down the centre of the track to run over the top of the Robert and Luke Price's Victory Lane ($4.20) fav) and win the Provincial-Midway heat by half a length.
Kerry Parker Racing's Well Timed ($19) was a further 1-1/4 lengths away in third.
The first two home in the qualifier will now line up in the Provincial-Midway Final at Royal Randwick on April 13.
Widdup already had Short Shorts in the finale and is on an amazing run with his stable with 17 winners from his past 50 runners, including his treble at Kembla.
He hit the target early on the weekend's card when Joint Mission held off Investment to salute in the Abax F&M Maiden Plate (1400m) with Rory Hutchings aboard.
Talented filly Hasty Honey led home a stable quinella in the next when beating Cool And Calm by 1-1/4 lengths in the Vale Cliff Clare Provincial Class 1 Handicap (1400m).
Monte Supreme ensured the locals got off to a flying start after the Prices' filly produced a sustained run down the centre of the track to win the Barry Vandenberg 80th Birthday Midway 3YO Class 1 Handicap (1000m).

VALE CLIFF CLARE
When the Illawarra Turf Club was formed in late 1976 one of the leading riders at Kembla Grange race meetings was Cliff Clare.
Cliff is best known as the rider of 1967 Golden Slipper winner, Sweet Embrace. She was his second Group One success, following on from his 1966 AJC Sires Produce victory aboard Prince Max. Other feature races to come his way included Newcastle Cups on Foxmara and Duo, an AJC Villiers on Castanea and a Silver Slipper on Royal Brittania.
Cliff rode a multitude of winners at Kembla Grange and retired from race riding in May 1992, less than 2 years after one of his best mates, fellow jockey Norm Munsie.
Cliff was an inaugural inductee into the Illawarra Turf Club Legends program in 2023.
Our thoughts are with Cliff's family and friends. ... See MoreSee Less
