St
Patrick's day, party night at the Stow –
Walthamstow
Report 17 Mar 2007
An ordinary graded card faced punters on the Saturday after the
Cheltenham festival.
The opening A9 saw a smart break from True
Moll who made the early running until her stamina gave way on
the running. Dark
Crystal was very slow away, but stayed on to catch her
kennelmate near the line. Colliers
Major eased at the first bend and was badly crowded. Berehaven
Alice took an age to negotiate the first two bends.
The A9 saw The Gary Baggs kennel notch a double as Wee
Fifer made all the running. The Seamus Cahill trained Millie
Moo showed some promise on her debut. She is by Lady Be Wise,
who was only an A5 Wimbledon grader herself, but she has thrown some
decent dogs, e.g. Who Needs Wings, Impartial View and King Forever.
Killeen
Tom made it three from three for the Baggs kennel as the veteran
made all the running to land the H2. Blue
Meadow Lad was very slow away and ran into trouble at the third
bend as he stayed on. He was only ever going to make second at best
as the winner had flown.
The poor S4 went to Pigalle
Rainbow. Time
Connection made the running, but faded from near the fifth. Sheer
Genius was checking at all available bends in behind.
Zoot
broke modestly and showed some fair early boot and made all to land
the A7. Droopys
Jimmy swung in behind off the 2nd bend and the race looked all
over, but he took an eternity to make a challenge then looked to
duck out at the pick up a circuit too early.
True
Kewell broke smartly and towed his kennel mate Bellchips
Nicole along till the 3/4 mark before his stamina gave out. Bellchips
Nicole was a fourth winner for Mr Baggs. (Droopys
Jimmy should have meant it was his fifth) Mystical
Star challenged and was clumsy at the 3rd, then dwelt and got
KO'd between the last two bends.
Fear
Oliver broke modestly but still managed to lead at the first
bend in the A4. Lockdale
Prince lacked EP, but came home best of all to lead on the run
in. He was well supported from 7/2 to 2/1 favvy here. I do not think
that Fear
Oliver is too genuine.
Roswell
Bluesky made all to land the S1. Silbury
Ruby held every chance, but did not seem too keen to put in a
challenge. Oscars
Market fell out of the traps and that put paid to his chances.
The winner recorded a fair 39.91
Special
Roxi won a moderate A3as she just led up and kept on well to
fend off the others. Small
Bites held every chance, but seemed happy enough with a place.
Denwood
Star finally hit the back of the net in the A3 after a couple of
near misses. He led off the second bend and unsurprisingly Old
Jamaikey happily settled for second.
The S1 resulted in a dead heat. They love a dead heat at the
Stow! Owtoftowna
made the running and was joined on the line by Westmead
Mary who probably should have won from her position down the
back straight.
Mighty
Fella broke well in the A2 and looked to have stolen the race.
However the distress signals came out on the run in and Shelbourne
Ryan done him in the shadow of the post. Mystical
Chief was hammered at the 2nd bend and ran well for third. Curlew
Red checked up at the 3rd.
The A1 was taken by Bell
Classic who got the better of a tussle with War
Of Attrition. Neither Get
On Blackie or Discreet
Cat looked too sound in behind.
The last race (S2) saw the 7th outright favourite of the night
send the punters home happy. Milwaukee
Tools hit the front, but didn't fancy it tonight. Drominboy
Iseki ran on to lead at the 5th bend for a comfortable victory.
