Crow's Nest, Queensland- the home of worm racing in Australia.
Running three race programs each year,
Crow's Nest has to have worm racing covered. Called "
Australia's
down-to-earth sport", worm racing has got a wriggle on in
the picturesque town just north of Toowoomba.
During the
Crow's Nest Community
Festival, worm races are held at the Lions Club function, and of course at the annual Crow's Nest
Day.
YOU are invited to race a worm
on Crow's Nest Day.
Free entry.
Either bring your own, or we have
specially bred and trained racing worms for you to use.
As many people you talk to after the
worm races will not believe that you raced a worm,
certificates
are awarded to all participants.
Look out for the
Best Baits worm
racing form guide for the
Grand Old Crow Hotel Perseverance Cup, run over an 18
inch circular course. Worms are auctioned for
The Grand Old Crow Hotel Perseverance Cup - they have
sold for up to $500 in good times. The race is held on a Calcutta style - so the
more money the worms get sold for, the more the prize pool.
There is a FREE
Trifecta, where you can pick the winners - and if you correctly choose First, Second, Third and Fourth in order, a $50 cash prize is yours.

Arti Zan by
Crafty Daze out of
The Nest
Owner: Colours: Purple
Not
all racing worms are tarred with the same
brush.
If you
canvas opinions you will find
that
Arti Zan will give a great
showing today and produce a great
exhibition. We
draw the line at saying
Arti
Zan has it all
sewn up, but add
some
colour to your racing portfolio
and back this popular local worm.

Cafe Capers by
Burger Master out of
Lah
Tay
Owner: Colours: Black
This
worm is a
chip off the old block.
Cafe Capers is fed a varied
menu and the results show. This is not
just a
short black, but a
real deal. You will get
value for money with
Cafe Capers, who has
wiped clean the opposition in past
races. The smell of good
coffee is
enough to kick start this little worm on race day.

E Merg Ency by
Fighting Firie out of
S.E.S Lass
Owner: Colours: Yellow
This racing worm
is no pin up
calendar boy. He loves
to be
hosed down after a race.
E Merg Ency feels at home in his
yellow colours and
handles the pressure well. He trains through
flood, fire and storm and when we
communicated with the breeder, we were told that
E Merg Ency is one of the most
dependable racing worms doing the
rounds..

Butcher Boy by
Chopping Block out
of
The
Cold Room.
Owner: Colours: Red
We won't
mince words.
Butcher Boy is as
sharp as a knife on the race track. He should
snag a win today.
Butcher
Boy won't
chicken out of tough
competition, but should
roast his
competitors and race at a
sizzling
pace. He may
ham it up for the press,
but his performance today should put some
pork
on your fork.
5. Dairy Belle by
Pasture
Eyes out of
The
Vat
Owner: Colours: White
This little racing worm is simply an
udder delight. Almost a
threatened species,
Dairy Belle is the
cream of
the crop. She is a good
mixer and
goes well with stable mates Coffee Creme and Hazelnut Hunter. She will
milk this race for all that it's worth
and
rise to the top.
Dairy Belle for the Grand Old Crow Cup.

Our
Heritage by
People First out of
The Vault
Owner: Colours: Gold
You
can
safely say that purchasing
Our Heritage makes a lot of
cents.
Cheque this one out and note the bloodlines. This worm even trains
on
Saturdays. It's on the
cards that a win by
Our Heritage is as good as
in
the bank. Talk to the breeder. Go
teller
that you need some
insurance that a
win is at hand ....and you will get the good oil.
Our Heritage is a winner !

Our Council by
Regional Roger out of
Amalgamation
Owner: Colours: Brown
Pick up a shovel and dust off the
rates
notice. We have a
wheely good
racer here.
Our Council has worked
out in the local
parks and gardens,
and will
steamroll through the job
at hand. This racer has
looked a picture
over recent months. We hear even the
Mayor
is behind this entrant.

School's In by
Crow Kid out of
Possum
Pal
Owner: Colours:
Orange
Let
this be a
lesson to you -
School's In will be
top of the class here today. It's
assignment has been to
aim high and
pass the test. It never
skips
class when in training and will
parade
well today before the race and
pass with
top marks.

Boyzen
Blue by
Loud Siren out of
On
Patrol.
Owner: Colours:
Blue
The
lights are flashing ! A win is surely
on the
radar today. You'll be
stunned by his performance today.
Always there when there is a spot of
bother,
Boyzen Blue will be in form
today. This little worm has often been put on the
bag - the nose bag that is !

Bowled Over by
The
Skip out of
White Leghorn
Owner: Colours: Green
This is
on the level - there is no
bias when we say
Bowled Over has got out of the
gutter
and is now travelling well. Don't bring out the
hanky. She's alright
Jack.
You can bet on the
green machine
today and put the winnings in the
kitty.
Great support
Australia wide for this
racer.

Auction Ear by
The
Spotter out of
The Crowd
Owner: Colours:
Silver
This is one
low set unit.
Auction Ear should attract your
bid
if given a start. She likes
room to move
and has been
commissioned to
switch on the lights and Go! Go! Go!
