Squatter's Cup As Strong As Ever

A strong field lined up in yesterday's time honored Port Augusta Squatter's Cup. It was again the veteran Odysseus who fired, this time to take on Tora Tora Tora in the final stages.

The two horses fought it out all the way, Odysseus battled against the five-year-old gelding, which is less than half his age. The 12 year old gave it his all to be pipped at the post by half a length.

Breaker Ben ran a reliable third, is trained by Port Augusta local Barry Hatch.

The Byron Cozamanis trained Tora Tora Tora added the Squatter's Cup to the growing trophy cabinet with his prize money now amassing a credible $98,520 from 46 starts.

The feature race of the day was again blessed with lovely fine weather, and the good sized crowd, a good day's racing on the dirt track. The admiration flowed for the big grey that once again did Jenny Gow-Whyte proud.
