Walthamstow Report
30 Dec 2006
The meeting opened with a race thrown away by Son
Of Iris,
who dwelt from the last bend, repeating his run on 21 Dec. Figile
Hot Shot
led all the way and held on by half a length. In the hurdles H1, Highbury
Tiger
showed blistering early before his stamina gave way and the poor
jumper Flying
Frank
came through to lead on the run in. A very poor excuse for a race
followed where Calzaghe
Shearer won
a very scrappy race, leading at the last bend. The bizarrely named Yak
Yak Lampard cut out the running in the P8,
before capitulating on the run in. The race was won by Droopys
Jackay who stayed on after a poor start to lead on the run in.
One to keep an eye on in the coming weeks is Droopys Jimmy,
who is bred by
Droopys Minx, the Dam of Droopys Aoife. A quiet
introduction here, he’s a lovely scopey sort, and he’ll pay to
follow in the coming weeks. A few poor races followed, where Patricks
Flyer won
the A7, who was A2/S3 Romford was let in, in an A7 at the Stow.
Similarly Zoltan Champ won the following A6 and was formerly
A1/S1 at Romford. RM asleep during grading of these dogs? The lay of
the night Sofem, ran another shocker and Ballymartin Jack stayed
on to lead between the last two bends. The second dweller of the
evening appeared in the A5, Old Jamaikey, who ducked
out with the race at his mercy. Hoylake Claire got a lucky
run and led on the run in. Sparta Master landed an uneventful
A4, before the strongly fancied Lockdale Lady won the A3 with
consumate ease, following the slow starts from Localimprovement and
Courts Ad Bluey inside him. Fear Martina comfortably won
the S1. Several lame dogs appeared in the A2 and the race was won by
Questhouse Sash. Africa won the five runner A1, I’m told at
odds the massive odds of 8-1on the machine (3-1 sp), where a number
of his rivals performed poorly. The lucky last featured yet another
appalling 6 bend lottery, where Craigdales Ruby
who faded from
the 5th bend, beat a field of poor stayers.
