A fun night at Globe Derby Park on Saturday with a feature double.
Where's The Gold gave his big band of owners plenty to cheer about by taking out the G3 South Australian Pacing Cup.
What a job he’s done since arriving from NZ, with this success adding to his Tasmania Cup win back March to take if lifetime earnings past $200,000.
Our Vinnie rounded it out with victory in the listed SA Derby.
