The four-year-old son of Curved Ball (AUS), Knuckleball, won the 1800m ZNA Charity Handicap at Borrowdale Park this afternoon. He went on to the pace, chased by Heir Line, with Simona biding her time further back.

However, there was no catching Penny Fisher’s charge today. Francois Herholdt was in the irons. Simona and Heir Line went head to head for second place, with Simona getting the edge. Twilight Trip ran fourth.

Simona carried 60 kgs so this was a gallant effort, and Heir Line also ran a great race.

The winner is owned by Mr V. Guppah, Mr R.H.S. and Mrs P. Beattie, and Mr D.H. and Mrs J.L. Cocksedge. He was bred by Clifton Stud.

Congratulations to all concerned.
