Birchip owners, the Lowry, Hogan, Wilson, Dillon & Hodge families have raced some very handy performers over the years and look to have found another one, judging the impressive debut victory of 2yo colt Dangerous at Hamilton last week.

MORE NEWS:

The beautifully bred youngster, by boom sire Sweet Lou USA from the Presidential Ball USA mare Ark Maree (14 wins) was given a sweet trip throughout by driver Ryan Sanderson and cruised home untouched and unextended to score by 9 metres in a rate of 1:54.9 for the 1660 metre journey.

Dangerous had shown he was a talent on the rise with an impressive trial victory at Bendigo back in May and in the weeks since, has further improved under the care of Charlton trainer Shane Sanderson.

Stewards were forced to declare the second event at Mildura last Friday a "no race" after a fall involving the horses Doc Harvey (Ryan Sanderson), Major West (David Smith), Good Onya (Alex Ashwood) and Havelock (Aaron Dunn).

Ashwood suffered a broken wrist and facial fractures, which required surgery and also suffered a suspected hairline fracture in the back.

Smith suffered a broken wrist, which will require surgery and a back injury which will be continually monitored.

Stewards reported Friday that Horsham driver Aaron Dunn is suffering hip pain and will likely have x-rays either today or tomorrow.

When asked on Monday afternoon how he was faring, Aaron answered "bloody sore, no broken bones, need to let more of the internal bruising come out. Lucky in lots of ways, hope to be back in a week or two."

The three drivers have been stood down from driving pending medical clearance.

They're off @ Ararat (D) Wednesday July 20th; Stawell (D) Christmas In July Sunday 31st; Charlton (D) Monday August 8th; Hamilton (D) Wednesday 10th & Swan Hill (N) Sunday 14th.
