| The horse that you can win!! |
"Three winners this week"
In what can only be described as a great week in WA racing the Ascot Bloodstock 'Win A Share' competition really heated up. So much in fact that there were three winners this week rather than the regular two.
Before we announce the winners this week we must send out a few honourable mentions to entrants that submitted great names however the names are already in use. They were the entries of Stephen Gazzone, Steve from Albany and David Bignell. If not for the names they entered already being registered race horse names then they possibly could have taken the mantle this week.
However the first winner this week was Mike Dodd with his entry of Maktoum Monarch. This is obviously a play on words from the sire Dubai Destination and the dam Hawaiian Queen.
The second winner is Susan Strudwick with her witty entry of Sandilands. Both Dubai and Hawaii are very sandy, and plus as the horse isn't the tallest it adds that extra dimension of Aussie humour. Susan is a Fremantle Dockers supporter and Aaron Sandilands is the tallest player in the team.
The final winner for week five of the competition is Gary Kelly with the entry of Persian Wiki. Dubai is located on the Persian Gulf and Wiki is the Hawaiian term used for speed.
Overall again we had a great list of entries so keep them coming in as we get to the end of the competition. And good luck to all of the weekly winners in the final draw that is to be held in the PR.com Lounge at Ascot Racecourse on December 6th, which is the same day as the Group 1 Kingston Town Stakes.
