I have made a donation of $500 on behalf of the BBQ Stakes Lunchtime Run to the Australia Red Cross for the Nepal Flood Relief. I did put on behalf of the BBQ Stakes organisation. I am sure Lloyd would be happy with our donation

Well, it did feel a little cooler today, but not cool enough to dampen any enthusiasm from our 40 odd field.
Our winner, in his run number 501 was the Lakes Stakes Maestro, Peter Foster. Peter felt his win was a little overdue as he hadn't had a win since the 19th of August! He has now had 4 wins, with three of them this year.
Our runner up today, James O'Neill introduced a spectacular move at the finish, the likes of which we haven't seen for years. He executed a left leaning sideways forward roll, in the pike position just as he was pulling alongside Peter. This is a move perfected by Sergio Silvagni to appease the Carlton spectators just as they were slipping out of contention at the tail end of a season. He failed to hold the pike position and was this only awarded 7 out of 10!
Not to be outdone, Josh Murray produced another swerving whilst accelerating move to pinch the final spot on the podium.
Kerrie Muir celebrated a long sought milestone in ticking off run number 100. I noticed Kerrie T taking snaps and I'm sure she will have made a separate post for Kerrie M.
Had another look at my extensive notes from today's event and also went through my comprehensive photo collection and realised that I was otherwise occupied when Helen Larmour crossed the finishing line. I'm sure we'll get you next time Helen.

At 11.30 it is 10.9 and feels like 4.9, so might need to keep moving today.

There was a slight edge to the conditions today with a few slippery patches for the unwary.
Form watchers at the Stakes may not be aware how closely it is studied by the big money punters at the Bondi Junction TAB and they would be celebrating big time tonight after correct weight was declared after our run today.
A cursory glance at last week's results would have shown that our winner last week, Cam Curry, ran a recent PB. The other recent PB's last week, in no particular order were Anthony Perry, Kathy Sims and Dan Green. The boys at Bondi Junction boxes the three in multiple quinellas and trifectas and then laughed all the way to the collect window when Anthony won, with Kathy second and Dan third. Well done to the three amigos.
Amelia Walton celebrated her 100th run today with another typically honest effort and I'm sure we will have a commemorative snap for the family album.
Peter Foster, organiser of the Lakes Stakes, is used to giving out shirts to the milestone achievers there and will in fact present himself with an 800 Lakes Stakes shirt next Tuesday. Today he received his 500 runs shirt in the BBQ Stakes and thus becomes the 5th person to achieve 500, or more, runs in each of these events.
Last week we had a unique occurrence with the fastest lady and gent, Claire Aubrey and Andrew Blyton, both recording exactly the same time.
Team Murphy handed in a note from Mum last week which authorised a week away from photography duties.
I won't tell you who took the snaps today, but will say he was multi tasking and the quality reflects that!

Great conditions for the run today and the word on the street was that Others were quietly confident of another teams win.
Our winner today, Cam Curry, got the Others off to a great start and his nearest, and very close, opposition was another Other Dan Green, who came in second.
Roger Pilkington, who is a bit concerned about his beloved Adelaide Crows, then fired the first salvo for the Retirees. He was quickly followed by Peter Clarke, meaning that Others and Retirees were "all but!" Claire Aubrey, who has been in scintillating form over recent weeks then swept down the finishing straight to give Others another win. The next two eligible runners were also Others, so it wasn't even close.
For those among us who sometimes feel a little burnt out with regular racing, be aware that the next event that Jim White competes in will be number 8,500 for our premier jokester!
Thanks again to Kate and Mark for the snaps.

Your fees will be updated on the sheet and reflect the amount that you have paid, so it is a good time to get up to date and even in front

Lloyd would be devastated by the news from Nepal. He spent so much of his life tirelessly working for the benefit of so many friends in Nepalese communities.
He told me many times that he was happiest when contributing to his "extended family."
The BBQ Stakes family will act on his behalf with news of our plans to follow in the next few days.
