It is now the second year that Malta participated actively in the Mediterranean Horse Racing Union Championships and on our second try Malta succeeded to win this Championship.

Tony Demanuele, the Maltese Representative for the last leg of the Drivers Championship succeeded a Win and a sixth place in the Russian Leg held at the Voronezh race track on the occasion of the Orlovsky Festival.

Up till now we know that Tony Demanuele won the first Race of 2 held in this final leg of the Championship and placed sixth in the second heat. In the first heat Tony Demanuele partnered Almanac and succeeded a victory. In the second heat the same horses were partnered to different drivers. We have no information with regards to which horse was partnered to Tony Demanuele in this second heat.

With this result Tony Demanuele obtains all the points necessary to Win the Mediterranean Drivers Championship in front of Russia by a very slight margin.

As we said in the last news with regards to this Championship, this is the fruit of the effort of six different drivers namely: France Cassar in Malta; a second place during the first leg, Carl Caruana in Italy on the occasion of the second trotting leg, Alan Agius with a third place on the occasion of the third leg held in Serbia, George Attard's victory in Slovenia on the occasion of the fourth leg and Charles Camilleri's third place in the fifth leg in Cagnes-sur-Mer. Tony Demanuele succeeded to end triumphantly the effort of all these Maltese representatives.

As Malta Trot Racing website we would like to say a very big well done to Tony Demanuele and all the other Maltese representatives for yet again placing the Maltese trot racing scene high in the news headlines. Such news will surely help our sport to flourish and continue getting the respect it merits amongst all sport enthusiasts.
