Two Stakes for Clyde
The final weekend of interior racing for 1999 was the best of racing
anywhere for Doug Clyde. Doug has over twenty years of racing on the
B.C. Interior circuit and has had a great deal of sucess. This year
racing sucess has been elusive for Clyde but his two year old Soi Cowboy
winnning the $2000 Interior Futurity and his six year old Chief Fire
romping home in the $2000 Coquihalla Classic. Clyde legged jockey Travis
Wilkison for both wins. Soi Cowboy driving finish put him a length in
front of Fired Cooper’s Nodtotheheros. Chief Fire moved quickly
after the half to take command and galloped home an easy five length
victor.
Travis Wilkinson returned to racing late in the season and enjoyed his
best day of the year after he rode his third straight winner in the
last race aboard Jim Strachan Jimjimmyjohn.
Jockey Brooke Mellish who started race riding this year won two races
for trainer Butch McDonld. In the first race the Kamloops Miss rode
Bob Kershaw’s two year old Blowin An Goin for her maiden win. In
the fourth Brooke was in the irons to bring home McLean/Jewell/Edmunds
and P & M Toews Feu Oh My in an allowance test for fillies and mares.
In the second race Kay Morgan’s champion mare Patience 109 was
disqualified and placed second. Bob Schmidt’s Bad Toda Bone with
jockey Sam Shirley was moved to the winning position. Space ZModule
