Bold Gration claims Chris Cashin

A gutsy move with about 4km to go paid dividends for Shannon Gration in today's Chris Cashin Memorial Handicap. Following some advice from club great Jay Bourke, Gration broke away on his own and managed to solo to the finish line in a strong display. Other riders from Grations group combined well to make up 2nd, 3rd & 4th places with Pete Canny riding strongest from the 4th scratch group finishing 5th. It was great to see Chloe McIntosh come over the line in 6th place after riding strongly all day. It was a long day for the scratch and 2nd scratch groups who didn't even sight the leading bunch all race.
