Magic moment for Sutton

Woodside Park  Aug 18 2010

Dale Sutton’s best ever racing season was capped when he was announced as one of the inaugural winners of the Magic Millions Trainers’ Premierships.

Sutton, who fronts the Wadham Park racing operation in Victoria, beat out Toowoomba’s Mark Webb to be crowned the leading trainer, by wins, with Magic Millions graduates on non-metropolitan tracks.

On Saturday at Caulfield, Sutton was recognised with his win with a presentation of his prize by Magic Millions Media Manager, Greg Irvine.

“Dale had a magnificent season and the premiership win is a deserved one,” Irvine said. “His win figure is impressive considering it didn’t include those at Caulfield, Moonee Valley, Flemington and Doomben.”

“The wins that did count for this premiership were achieved on tracks including Ballarat, Bendigo, Gold Coast, Geelong, Ipswich, Kilmore, Kyneton, Seymour and Tatura.”

“Last season Magic Millions graduates won more than 5,200 races around Australia – and many more overseas – it certainly was a great season for our clients.”

In winning, Sutton collected a $2,000 yearling sale voucher as well as a selection of Magic Millions gifts and merchandise.

Sutton is the recipient of the third Magic Millions Premiership to be announced for the recently completed 2009/10 racing season.

The remaining two winners will be announced and presented with their prizes soon.
