Sugars and Tubbs share sweet spoils

By Michael Howard (HRV)

The rise and rise of Larajay Farms was not only reinforced at Tabcorp Park Melton on Saturday night, but has also produced an outstanding return for a trots-supported charity.

Replete in the Pacing For Pink silks, Greg Sugars amassed victories number 23, 24 and 25 for the month, benefitting the campaign that raises money and awareness to help the McGrath Foundation support those with breast cancer.

The Myrniong reinsman was a dominant front runner in winning with La Captain, Momentslikethese and Triple Eight at Tabcorp Park Melton, with each victory drawing a Pacing For Pink donation from Geelong Harness Racing Club members.

And Sugars announced on TrotsVision that he and wife Jess Tubbs wanted to go a step further, with the stable donating $1000 to the fundraiser after the night’s success.

“It’s been a sensational month,” Sugars said.

“The Pacing For Pink campaign is phenomenal and thankfully I’ve had a sensational month and so has our stable.

“Jess and I did say we had a few good chances, if we were able to get the score on the board … we’re happy to donate an extra $1000 to Pacing For Pink campaign. It’s been a terrific month not only for me as a driver but for the stable as well, so more than happy to put the hand in the pocket and add a bit more to the tally.”

La Captain kicked it all off in the first when he continued his vastly improved season by adding the richest win of his career in the Group 3 Alabar Vicbred Platinum Metropolitan Pace Final.

It’s his sixth victory in seven starts this year, having saluted in only three of his preceding 26 outings, and Sugars said it had been very rewarding to see the penny drop.
