Friday night's win with By Submission is what racing is all about, celebrating the wins hard and long, and that’s exactly what his owners did that night at Northam, with the passionate group undoubtedly heard far and wide after the maiden broke through at just his fifth start.
Owned by ‘The Girraween boys’ and managed by Wayne Morrison, Friday night was a night to be celebrated with their persistence and faith in By Submission rewarded with a win at just start three.
“The boys are not on the rich list, but do follow their breeding within their budget and breed astutely and they have had considerable success,
“They love a beer and love to party and as the caller said on Friday night, the roars went well into the night.”
The four-year-old who is a half-brother to good performer Strauny has had his setbacks, and although a late bloomer, trainer Bruce Whiteman is hopeful that he can go on with it.
By Submission head to Whiteman after undergoing a throat operation to correct a breathing problem, he is confident that it is no longer an issue after Friday’s showing.
“He will go out for a spell and hopefully get his head around what he has learnt, and we can hopefully then look for some improvement.
Strauny, who is owned by the same syndicate is trained by Peter Tilbrook, has had 33 starts for 9 wins and 7 placings, with earnings just shy of $80,000.
Northam Harness Racing Club got behind Jeans for Genes Day on Friday August 4, with club Manage Raelene Goulden organising cupcakes, biscuits, and a variety of fundraising initiatives to raise money for the deserving foundation, as well as naming every race for the fantastic foundation.
In conjunction with this, the club highlighted Brodie Young, the son of Sian Hughes and David Young who sadly passed away earlier in the year at just two weeks old from OTC (Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency); a genetic condition. Hughes and Young are raising awareness and funds in memory of their beautiful boy.
1 in 20 children are faced with birth defects or genetic disease/disorder, with Jeans for Genes Day raising funds in the hopes of one day curing many of these heartbreaking diseases.
