“It’s a steep fine, but I guess there are rules and regulations that you have to deal with. The difficult thing we have with Tom is that he is more than likely going to be inconsistent with his performance because of his ongoing back injuries.”

G, what about sudden consistency on the day!

SEMI - 12.03
FINAL -12.01

That’s pretty consistent for a guy with a back injury, huh?

Burbidge races to semi-final win

Canberra sprinter Tom Burbidge has confirmed his favouritism for the Stawell Gift with a dominant victory in the semi-finals of the 120m handicap race.

Running in the sixth and last of the semis, Burbidge powered to victory in 12.03 seconds off a mark of 8.75m.

The other semi-final winners were Brendan Matthews, Kevin Brittain, Josh Tiu, Dale Woodhams and Douglas Greenough, although none went close to matching Burbidge’s time.

World championships long jump bronze medallist Mitchell Watt was eliminated after finishing third in the opening semi, which was won by Matthews.

The final is run at 1.44pm (AEST) at Central Park.
