‘King of Kings’

The popular ‘King of Healesville’ and ‘Queen of Healesville’ concept resulted in ‘right royal’ straight track racing on Sunday.

Last Hurrah was a ‘king of kings’, while Aston Meilleur was a ‘queen of hearts’ in their divisional finals.

Trained by Brett Nye, Last Hurrah ($3.50F) stormed home to win the ‘Kings’ final (350m) by nearly one length in 19.19sec (Best).

‘Kings’ – Last Hurrah (19.19sec), Eye Catcher (19.25), Off An’ Gone (19.26) and Superior Bont (19.35).

‘Queens’ – Aston Meilleur (19.26sec), Busy Bella (19.38), Simply Smarter (19.38) and Sparkle Motion (19.40).

The ‘Top 4’ in the ‘Kings’ final and the ‘Top 4’ in the ‘Queens’ final will clash in a $5,000-to-the-winner ‘Battle of the Sexes’ – the Kings v Queens final – at Healesville on Sunday, January 26.

David Condon will have a dual chance in the final with Aston Meilleur and Superior Bont.

A thunderstorm hit Healesville mid-afternoon causing flash flooding and resulting in the cancellation of Race 12.
