Stuart King of the Sprint
Fyans Creek Road - Monday 8th June 2009


	Stuart King

Horham rider Stuart King charged to the line a clear winner in the Grampians Vets 44km Fyans Creek Handicap, held last Monday.

Riding off 2 minutes, King combined well with Chris Scott and Leon Gibson to pull in the 5 minute riders Tom Eldridge, Tony Rathgeber, Peter Mayo and Peter Parnaby after about 25 kilometres.

Thus reinforced, they then overtook the limit riders Meg Parnaby, Tania Walters, Trevor McDonald and John McIntyre with about 10 kilometres to go.

In the closing stages Scott put in some big turns to help keep the scratch riders at bay, and also led out the final charge to the line. However, King was too strong for the rest of the pack and broke clear to win comfortably from Leon Gibson and Peter Parnaby

The scratch riders Frank Kean, Daryl Elliott, Drew Heard and Sean Prins were not far behind, with Prins the first scratch rider across the line to record the fastest time of the day of 1 hour 10 minutes 40 seconds.
