Finally, after a run of near misses, our little pocket rocket, Captain Crackerjak came home a winner from Terang yesterday.
Dropping back to the 1000m and showing his usual early speed, Captain Crackerjak displayed a very tough performance, particularly over the final stages.
This was his third start this preparation, just missing out at Warrnambool first up and then putting in a decent effort in a very hot Magic Millions field on Ballarat Cup Day.
Damien Thornton gave an excellent ride and it was great to see some of his owners at Terang, there to witness his first win – hopefully the first of many!
