The track was upgraded from a Good 4 to a Good 3 after the first race. Fast times were the order of the day. Affinity Beyond was brave in taking out the Federal and second-placed Major Time put in a big effort and certainly goes in the black book. The Like Pepper stable trained a double and Blaike McDougall rode a double. McDougall is now 10 wins clear on the ACT Jockey Premiership as is Keith Dryden in the ACT Trainer Premiership.

Canberra raced under blue skies & sunshine for their meeting just a few days after Christmas. Rail was true throughout & we raced on a Good 4 surface.
