Unfortunately, they also had Mo’s Crown up for a slot but the five-year-old sustained an injury to its near fore hoof and is out for the spring. Edit was taken by slot holder Garry Algie from Canyonleigh who said: “I had $25 in my TAB account, so I bought five tickets and ended up winning a slot!” he told colleague Ray Hickson. “I live in a mobile home at my mate Ken’s property at Canyonleigh, in the Southern Highlands,” Algie said. “It’s a farming area. “The population’s about 400 and there aren’t any shops – the nearest town is Moss Vale, a bit over 30 kilometres away.” Another recent The Kosciuszko acquisition was Scone galloper Nadaraja. Trainer Stephen Jones believes Nadaraja is one of the best gallopers he has put a bridle on: “He’s right up there, maybe even the best I’ve trained,” Jones said after an easy Scone victory. “I’ve had some handy horses over the years, but I think this bloke is right up there with them. I didn’t expect him to be that good, a three-year-old racing against more seasoned horses.” At time of print, the following racehorses were selected by slot holders for The Kosciuszko: HORSE SELECTED SLOT WINNER’S LOCATION TRAINER & LOCATION AHEADOFHISTIME Coffs Harbour Trevor Hardy, Coffs Harbour ART CADEAU Warilla Terry Robinson, Shoalhaven Heads EDIT Canyonleigh Cody Morgan, Tamworth FRONT PAGE Wagga Wagga Geoff Duryea, Corowa HANDLE THE TRUTH Jerrabomberra Keith Dryden, Canberra ICE IN VANCOUVER St Clair Cody Morgan, Tamworth ISLAND BAY BOY Horsley Park Tony Sergi, Queanbeyan MR HUSSILL Ganmain Cameron Crockett, Scone NADARAJA Wagga Wagga Stephen Jones, Scone PLONKA Narara Warren Gavenlock, Coffs Harbour SUNRISE RUBY Wallagoot Mitchell Beer, Albury Not yet determined Dubbo N/A Not yet determined Belmont N/A Not yet determined Manly N/A
