POCKET Rocket took out the 20th running of the Cup last Wednesday. The filly, otherwise known as art teacher Michelle Moseur, was a popular winner in the ‘Race that stops Myrniong’, beating out 23 other contenders. Owner Seth Wall was also presented with the Myrniong Cup and flowers to commemorate the day. Principal Allan Peach said all the children picked a horse to win and the names of those students who picked the winner went into a draw to become the “owner”. “I think it’s such a popular day because it’s a community event,” Mr Peach said. “We had between 40 and 50 parents here and everybody went to a lot of effort to get dressed up.” He said the day also included a Fashions on the Field competition, a special lunch and rotating activities that involved all things to do with spring racing and horses. “Last year we had former Cup winning horse Sub Zero visit the school for the day, which was very exciting for everyone,” he said. Meanwhile the Ballan Jockey Club is gearing up for the 153rd Ballan Cup this Saturday at Racecourse. Ballan Jockey Club president Luke Mullane said he expected between 2500 and 3000 people to attend the event. “Our 800 dining packages have already sold out, but we’ve still got some marquee packages available starting from $34,” Mr Mullane said. The Ballan Cup has been held at Geelong Racecourse for over 10 years and Mr Mullane said it had a nice atmosphere with great facilities. “There will be kids’ entertainment, a live jazz band and also fashions on the field with great prizes, so frock up. Last year we had 60 entries,” he said. He said five buses would take guests between Ballan and Geelong and if people wanted to travel by bus they should register their names at the Commercial Hotel in Ballan by Thursday, November 6. He said: “If people want more information they can go to our Ballan Jockey Club Facebook page, and we’re looking for people to ‘like’ us on Facebook.”

An advertising feature of Th e Moorabool News Dining Moorabool Dining Guide to the Moorabool Region November 2014 The Plough Mark Mills, chef/owner of The Plough in Myrniong and Trentham shares his love of the art of dry-aging beef. Dry-aged beef is currently the rage on the food scene. It is much sought-after by discerning beef and steak lovers who are willing to seek out the dish. Mark understands what makes dry-aged beef a cut above the rest. He learned the art of dry-aging beef by spending time with the owner of Westside Meats, Bacchus Marsh. Mark explains, “Joe shared his knowledge of dry-aging beef with me. He was integral in helping with the design of my dry-aging room, as well as being the supplier of my black angus beef.” Mark says he was inspired to go into dry-aging beef after he experienced the flavours of dry-aged beef. “I decided to invest in my own dry-aging room to ensure that I could offer this quality product throughout my restaurants,” says Mark. Mark explains how the dry-aging process changes the beef through evaporation of moisture from the muscle, while creating greater concentration of the beefy flavour and taste. The beef’s natural enzymes also break down connective tissues in the muscle, resulting in more tender beef. The Plough offers various cuts of beef that have been dry-aged for 49 days. The Plough @ Myrniong offers Scotch, Porterhouse and Eye Fillet while The Plough @ Trentham offers Rump. Mark invites you to taste the difference – you will not be disappointed. 17 Main St, Myrniong 5368 7173 31 High St, Trentham 5424 1144

Western Water is encouraging older customers to claim concessions and other assistance on offer. Western Water’s general manager, customer and community relations, Graham Holt, said: “We want to ensure that people are getting any concession they may be entitled to, as well as accessing our assistance programs where needed.” Western Water has released Water Wisdom, a book containing advice on concessions and other help for older customers, that also captures their memories and advice. The book contains interviews with 12 seniors from around the Western Water region about their experiences of water, from boiling the copper for clothes washing to filtering wrigglers out of the drinking water. Bacchus Marsh resident Pamela Pinney was interviewed for the book and said: “I’ve always been a water miser, having originally had tanks. I don’t think most Australians really appreciate what we have.” Water Wisdom is available at STRAWBERRIES AND libraries, senior citizens centres and Pamela Pinney from Bacchus Marsh features in the Water Wisdom book. neighbourhood houses.
