During his lengthy career, Grant Buckley had only ridden once before at Warren and he handled Molasses to perfection for Dennis Bush and the Grenfell-based owner Danny Kotel.

Allowed plenty of time to settle, Molasses ($5.50) sprinted home from well back to account for Professor Marx (Daniel Northey, $11) and Go Beau Jangles (Ken Dunbar, $41).

Molasses has now recorded nine wins and eight placings from 35 starts.

Last Sunday the Woodbridge Cup girls travelled to Orange to take on the Vipers. The Under 13s pushed the undefeated Vipers all the way taking the lead on several occasions but eventually went down 38-28. The Under 15s kept their undefeated record intact defeating the Vipers 38-10 in a game that was much closer than the score indicates. In the Under 18s clash the Vipers were too good for Woodbridge winning 50-4 against the visitors. An exciting opens match rounded off proceedings at Waratah Park with the vipers getting home 28-18 in a game that could have gone either way.

This weekend sees the Semi-Finals of the competition take place with the Grand Finals to be held the following Saturday. As fate would have it the Vipers and Woodbridge are playing each other in all grades at Waratah Park Orange on Saturday in a replay of all the action from Sunday. On Sunday the Under 15s game will be played before the Under 13s due to travel considerations. The Semi-Final fixtures for the weekend are as follows:
