HORSE RACING: Gladstone trainers had mixed success during an abridged race day at Ferguson Park on Saturday.

While a five-race card is standard for any Gladstone meet, two of the races featured only five runners which made for some open racing.

Local runners featured heavily in Race 2, the 1000m On The Bit Class B Handicap, with trainers Ian Seeds, Lee Kiernan and Denis Schultz involved.

Seeds picked up the quinella with four-year-old gelding Salty's Boy winning by one length over five-year-old mare She's On Point.

Kiernan's five-year-old gelding New Kintaro claimed third while Schultz's Fading Mist came fifth.

Phil Pengelly's Darts Away finished third in the 1194m Race 4 BM65 Handicap after starting the race as joint second favourite behind $2.80 favourite More Worldly, who finished last in a field of eight.

The next Ferguson Park meet is on April 20 over the Easter long weekend.
