(well, he will always be wee Jimmy to me!)Private James (Private Agenda / Sweet Air) had his first race start to day at Townsville over 1000m and all owners would have to admit that we are all pretty amazed with what he did!
He drew Barrier 2 so had every chance. "Ding" and they were off. Jimmy was last to leave the barriers and then he jumped awkwardly and the field was away and gone.
That didnt deter our boy though. He managed to catch the field and ended up circling the field and missed running into 3rd place only by a short margin. What a great effort for a first start!
I had to smile when I found these baby photos of Jimmy and what a sweet baby he was.

This photo was taken shortly before he left Massie Lodge to go on his big adventure up north. I know he achieved only 4th placing, but still what an effort! A big congratulations to all owners of Jimmy and of course many thanks to Fred Wieland - his trainer.
