Racing on Monday at Allman Park and it's free
RACING: There will be two horses with the Dragon name, well part of it at least, in the open handicap over 800m at the Warwick Turf Club TAB meeting on Monday.
There are 106 nominations for the TAB meeting on Monday.
Admission is free for the race day with gates open at 11am. There are up to 22 nominations in individual races on the seven-event card which starts at 12.40pm Monday. The last is at 4.15pm.
One of the nine in the open handicap is Poetic Dragon, a four-year-old mare trained at Oakey by Peter Overell.
The mare won first up in this campaign in Warwick and has a win and second at Gatton and win at Gold Coast in her past three starts.
Dragon Street is trained by Les Clarke who has worked horses in recent years in both Killarney and Warwick. The six-year-old gelding has a win, second and eighth in his past three states and is back from a spell on Monday.
Toowoomba trainer Ben Currie has Invitto in the open and will be in Warwick a little over a week after one of his horses was in a dead heat in the Weetwood with a horse trained by his uncle Michael Nolan.
Warwick trainer John W Collins has Starwood in the class 2 handicap over 1350m.
Jim "N” Andy will be one of the form horses at Allman Park on Monday with two wins and a second in his past three starts for Warwick trainer Norm Hilton.
Warwick trainer Garry Osborne has Remission in the class 1 1500m handicap after winning a maiden at Ipswich with the same horse.
Kellie Monckton will have plenty of Warwick support when she starts Light Of the World in a maiden where Michael Nolan has Wake Up Jeff.
Former Warwick trainer Steve Hardy who is now at Ballina will return home with Collins Creek, a four-year-gelding coming back from a spell.
Former Freestone resident Michael Frappell will have Salute The Prince in the class 1 handicap. Virtually every top Toowoomba trainer will be in Warwick for the TAB meeting with $14,000 prizemoney per race.
It was reported on Sky TV on Sunday that top Brisbane jockey Ronnie Stewart will fly his helicopter to Warwick to ride at the Easter Monday meeting. He has formerly ridden in Singapore.
Warwick trainer Len Bryant said he hoped the racing community could get behind the two jockeys injured in trackwork in Toowoomba on Saturday and currently in hospital in Brisbane.
"Ben Saunders was an outstanding apprentice. He rode on Melbourne Cup Day at Flemington and not too many jockeys can say that,” he said.
"I know Wade Clasohm has ridden for some Warwick trainers. They will need a lot of support.”
