Classy Sportswriter entire Whittaker made it two-from-two at Bathurst (NSW) tonight (Weds, Nov 1) in the hands of Ashlee Grives.
The Greg Brodie-owned pacer had some work to do early in his heat of the Bedwells Star Trek Semi Final but coasted clear on the turn to win very easily.
Mark Jones was thrilled with the horse, his plan to conquer again in the final of the Bedwell Feeds Series now a strong possibility.
“He coasted it and we’re all very pleased. Greg is over the moon with him, and Ashlee,” he added.
