Turvey notches his century
Harness racing driver Nathan Turvey brought up his century of winners in Western Australia this season when he brought R J Bopper home with a powerful burst from eighth at the bell to beat Itz Darknstormy in the 2100m Swan Draught Pace at Bunbury on Tuesday night.
This followed his victory an hour earlier when Ideal Tyson unwound a spirited burst from seventh at the bell to win the City And Regional Fuels Pace for three-year-olds.
Turvey has been in superb form in the sulky this season when his 645 drives in WA have produced 100 winners, 109 seconds and 76 thirds.
Turvey will be popular with punters at Gloucester Park on Friday night when he will drive Enjoy A Coldie (a major hope in the Masonmill Restaurant Trotters Handicap), Sovereign Faith, Ideal Tyson, Assassinator, Chevrons Champion, Major Pocket, Kinda Black and Loaded Aussie.
