Girl power at Aldebaran Park - October 2021
Pink Galahs, Aldebaran Crescent, Aldebaran Revani USA and Aldebaran Tess NZ – four of the best trotting mares in the country – all tasted feature race success during October.
Pink Galahs, the richest daughter of leading sire Skyvalley NZ, won the Group 1 $50,000 Aldebaran Park Bill Collins Trotters Sprint for the second time, establishing a fresh Bendigo track record for 1690 metres of a blazing 1:54.2. In defeating the best trotters in commission, Pink Galahs ripped home the last 800 in 56.4 seconds.
