Last years champion has started well in her defence of 2006/7 title.</div> <bR> <div> In the Westlawn Finance Stayers Cup the Victorian Holly Rock got a nice break on the turn and held out Miss Grub who found the 610 metres just a little too short. The winner is trained in Victoria by Bob Douglas; both dogs are Group race winners.</div> <bR> <div> The Taylor Family maiden sponsored by Mighty River Automotive was won by Never Surrender, trained in Queensland by Tony Brett and gave nothing else a chance after jumping beautifully from the one box  and in doing so collected for his connections $6,000 and a free service to `Surf Lorian' valued at $3,300.</div> <bR> <div> Trainer of the Carnival was local trainer Jan Finneran and greyhound of the Carnival was `Wild Trick' trained in Queensland by Paul Cauchi.</div> <bR> <div> A total of 79 races were held and prize money of $55,000 paid during the six days and nights of the Carnival. Up to six bookmakers fielded and crowds were up on last year. The crowd on Cup night was the largest for many years.</div> <bR> <div> Evidence of the enormous popularity of the Grafton track as a TAB venue was the record on course hold on Cup night of $68,797 which followed on from last years Carnival when $42,944 was held on a Sunday twig light meeting and $50,739 on Cups night, both meetings were covered by SKY and the TAB.</div> <bR> <div> Our next feature event on 3rd November is the final of the Jacaranda Maiden with a first prize of $3,000. Available on course for visiting trainers on a casual basis are two Club caravans for hire throughout the year.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP COLSPAN=2 HEIGHT= 14 WIDTH="603"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="14" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="603" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="5" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="609" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#9999CC" BORDERCOLORDARK="#9999CC" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#000000 HEIGHT= 380 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="1bb0a760.jpg" border=0 width="266" height="374" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="316"><div>  <SCRIPT> // CREDITS: // Bottom-To-Top Scroller // By Urs Dudli and Peter Gehrig // Copyright (c) 2002 Peter Gehrig and Urs Dudli.
