A BUSY DAY, ANOTHER WINNER FOR GERAN RACING

By Graham Potter | Saturday, August 6, 2022

The first Saturday of the new season (August 6) was a very busy day for the Corey and Kylie Geran stable who saddled no less than nine runners across three separate meetings at Doomben, Toowoomba and Nanango.

Their winner for the day came at Nanango where the lightly raced grey mare Swift Miss Fox ($3) scored by a length, once again under the guidance apprentice Emily Lang, who had partnered the Geran trained Jack Be Lucky to victory four days earlier.

Swift Miss Fox, a five-year-old, was only having her sixth career start and has now put two wins behind her name.

The two other runners the Geran team took to Nanango … In A Minute Riley and Vanasta … both claimed third place finishes.

Sweet Miss Fox is owned by Mr T J Stephens, Mr J W T Stephens, Mr K R Mathies, Mr P R Markey, Mr T M Friedrichs, Mr B Hanly, Mr G J Stark, Dream Finnish Racing, Mr J G Quinn, Mr D Bradford, Mr M Schofield, Mr G Capes, Mr R Hyde

Meanwhile, while that was happening at Nanango, Demon Delivera was making a splash of his own in town … you could call it the Geran stable run of the day … when running a huge second place at Doomben at odds of $17 in a QTIS Three-Year-Old BM72 Handicap over 1200m.

Nobody expected the Tony Gollan trained Spiritualised, a $1.35 favourite, to be seriously challenged here and, to be fair, it was never in doubt as the Spirit Of Boom colt dictated events from the front and was never troubled throughout when winning with plenty in hand … BUT … that didn’t make Demon Delivera’s dashing runner-up finish no less notable as he maintained a resolute gallop all the way to the line to get within a length of the winner and keep the $4.60 second favourite Hang Fire at bay.

Demon Delivera, who is a lightly raced three-year-old, has earned a win, a second place (in town) and a fourth place (on debut) in his three career starts to date.

Demon Delivera is owned by Mr M J Webster, Mr J F Faux, Mr B E Humphreys, Mrs K M Webster, Mr C G Geran, Mr B M Moody, The Bribie Initiative, Mr K J O'Brien, Mr L Palaziol, Mr J Dale, Mr T J Bermingham.

Of the other seven runners from the Geran yard to race on August 6, the two best finishes came from In Your Element and Epicurious, who both claimed third place in their respective races at Toowoomba.
