It may only take two eggs and two tablespoons of water to make a ‘good’ omelette - but entrants in the Great Omelette Cook-Off found out it takes much more to make a ‘great’ one. The event at this year’s Food and Wine Festival attracted plenty of budding chefs, but it was an inexperienced omelette cook that took top honours. Scott Sandwell was actually at the event supporting his father in the Raglan Gold beer tent and had never made an omelette before. But some sibling rivalry with brother Cameron encouraged him to enter the heats. Cameron used his secret recipe (some Raglan Gold) but it was Scott’s light, tasty omelette that 6747640AA saw him named as a finalist. He fronted up to make his second attempt - and promptly won the event from five other finalists. Another set of brothers - Lachlan and Jordan Oosterman - were also named finalists, along with Caleb Bird. Each omelette was judged on taste and appearance by The Omelette Guy. Scott Sandwell now goes for- TC120309CA06 ward to the national event on Egg GREAT omelette cook-off finalist Lachlan Oosterman gets the nod Day in October. of approval from the Omelette Guy (Ian Thomas).

6757294AA Grylls grabs diamond for second Group I

BY COLIN THORSEN

Te Awamutu apprentice jockey Craig Grylls’ trust account will get a considerable boost of funds after scoring his second Group I winning ride at Ellerslie on Saturday. Grylls piloted home the Stephen McKee trained, Trevor McKee owned Kaaptan to victory in the $200,000 Ford Diamond Stakes. The win could not have been more timely. Grylls turned 19 last Sunday, a day after his triumphant ride. ‘‘I could not have wished for a better birthday present,’’ he told the Courier. Senior jockeys get 5% of the winning stake but, in Grylls’ case, the apprentice’s trust account will get a cash injection of 2.5% of the winning stake, with the remaining 2.5% going to his ‘boss’ Graeme Sanders. Grylls is scheduled to end his apprenticeship on March 8, 2010. A continuation of his current strike rate should see him end up with a substantial ‘nest egg’ in the trust TC120309GJ01 account by the time his apprentice- SUCCESSFUL JOCKEY Craig Grylls participating in a different ship terminates. racing code in the Gracelands fundraiser sulky challenge at Te His victory on Kaaptan took his Awamutu/Cambridge Harness Club’s Christmas meeting. tally of winners for the year to 45 and his career tally to over 180.
