As promised, Peter Galo delivered on Sunday at Healesville in the National Straight Track Championship heats recording the fastest heat time of 19.19sec (350m).

Winner of the 2018 Shepparton Cup, Peter Galo was the second favourite behind 2019 Warragul Cup winner Dyna Hunter in the third and final heat but found himself last out of the boxes.

Once Peter Galo got clear air between Fernando Drums and Dyna Hunter, there was nothing stopping him as he galloped away to win by just under a length over Fernando Drums and Dyna Hunter.

Heat one went the way of Time To Talk who also came from nowhere to claim her heat in a time of 19.40sec, seven lengths shy of her personal best which she recorded the start before.

Zipping Mack for Matt Lanigan and Handsome for Lisa Hellmuth rounded out the placings in the opening heat.

Boxes one, two and three went one, two, three in the second National Straight Track heat with $6.80 shot Myrniong And All coming out on top for trainer Anthony Azzopardi.

Less than a length separated the three place getters with the minors going the way of Chief’s Empire and Nervous An Weird.
