RANALD Dawes also trained a winning double when black dog Gee Tee Mulwee, from the squeeze box 6, won the Wayne Richardson Sales Stake by a half-length in 20.58. Dawes had to wait to the lucky last to snare his double when Mulwee Jest won the McKnight Signs Appreciation by three lengths from Sportsman’s Ken and a further three lengths back in third was Elfreda Raider. Dawes is a great supporter of Tamworth and never seems to leave empty handed. Second-placed Sportsman’s Ken was one of three dogs Hamish Abra brought down from Bingara and he went home with a 34th win for El Sportsman’s in the Dukes Ice Supply Free For All.
