EAST’S STAR PACER RETURNS WITH A BANG
Last season’s Lordship winner Nevada Yankee returned to the race track in winning form first up at Mount Gambier in December. The son of Shadyshark Hanover who hadn’t faced the starter since taking out the time honoured Lordship Stakes back in July was a little too strong for his stablemate Eastbro Adele and the Bob Maloney trained Polly Put Kettleon. Nevada Yankee made the Southern Cross and Vicbred Finals as a two-year-old last season, looks set for an exciting season as three-year-old no doubt East will be targeting feature races coming up starting with the SA St Leger. YEARLING SALE. By the time this magazine reaches your mailbox the 2020 Allwood Stud South Australian Yearling Sale catalogue will be out and about. The third edition of the Allwood sale will be conducted at Magic Millions complex at Morphettville on Sunday March 15 the day after the second running of the $100,000 Allwood at Globe Derby the night prior.

The return of one of the states best reinsman Mark Billinger in January will be a welcome boost to the South Australian driving ranks Mark has been sidelined for a number of seasons but in recent times has been renewing his craft in the cart at trials.
