Young drivers in form

A treble at Newcastle last week saw young driver Chris Geary tick over 700 winners in his career.

The travelled 23-year-old drove two winners for the Darren McCall stable with Girl From Oz and then it was his win on Cupcakesnwhipcream that gave Geary his milestone.

He then made it 701 winners when winning with the Dean and Kerry McDowell-trained Ananais.

Geary heads to Menangle on Tuesday with a drive on the Kerry Towers-trained Will I Am in race five. To view the fields for Menangle on Tuesday click here.

Geary, who had success in the mini trotting ranks before his driving career, has worked for some of Australia’s major stables including Cobbitty Equine Farm, Tim Butt Racing as well as a stint in Queensland with Jack Butler.

Meanwhile top junior driver Cameron Hart returns to Menangle today also.

Hart drove in semi-finals of the Breeders Crown at Melton, Victoria, on Saturday night and tasted his first success at that track when winning with the Emma Stewart-trained Petillante.
