Telfer-Williams double

Trainers Steve and Amanda Telfer and stable driver Tim Williams scored a double at the Invercargill Harness Racing meeting at Ascot Park yesterday.

The brace kicked off when BD Hall (Andover Hall) easily won the Regent Car Court Trot, beating favourite Clotilde Wainwright by two and a half lengths.

“He’s got great manners so that makes my job a lot easier. It was nice he got round in one piece again and did everything right. He’s very big and overgrown and it was good to bring him away on a trip. Once he gets home he’ll probably head back to the paddock,” Williams said.

Pacing filly Mystical (Bettor’s Delight) won her maiden race in the Monica Toretto Photography Mobile Pace. She was taken back early before Williams took her to the front and she won well by a length and three quarters.

“She was a bit weak early as a two year old. She’s strengthened up this time, her gait’s got a lot better and I think she’s in for a pretty good campaign. Today was a nice starting point.”
