Denwood stars 

Walthamstow Report 26 Apr 2007

Tuesday featured a shit graded card.

Lijon Jolly led up in the opening P9, but could not contain Look Here Dan. Look Here Dan (Fire Height Dan-Threshers Flyer) was very slow away, showed some pace to the first and stayed on and led at the 4th bend. I'm very sorry to say that Special Ace suffered a fatal injury in the race.

Treacle Star briefly led up in the A8, before  Raithby Patricia took over until running out of gas between the last two bends. Too Many Miles was slow away, but challenged between the last two turns, but may have had a dwell up. Treacle Star was returning from season and has found herself very nicely graded. She may need another blow out before it's time to steam in. Jeremy  came from out of the clouds to lead at the 4th turn. 

Starfire Flyer led early and made all in the hurdles H2. Star Caddy Man caused chaos moving off at the first bend, putting paid to many of the others chances.

Silbury Squirrel cracked and and made all in the S2. Wheres Natalie was very slow away, showed some pace to the 5th bend, but then cried enough. The old plodder Scooter Man plugged on for second.

Special Nero broke smartly in the A7 and led until the run in. Honcho Dan (Fire Height Dan-Highly Sought) broke modestly, clipped the rails, but ran on well to grab the lead on the run in. 

All Clued Up was a decent winner of the A7. He made all and was followed around by Droopys Fefel, who never looked likely to get on terms. Smoking Jet ran middle and hammered into Lockdale Duke at the start.

The A6 saw Terry My Pal lead up at the second bend after producing a modest start, but showing some early. He got caught near the line, but this was a big step up on his debut performance. Not A Trace hit the front where it matters in a scramble for the line.

Victor Chandler's Ian St Pier returned to the Stow from an excursion in excellent form. He had taken in the Easter cup and the Hove Sky night. I dare say that the gross national product for beer sales in Ireland may have had an upturn! Ian insisted that Eye Onthe Glory was well over-priced in the A5. EOG was unconsidered by many of the assembled "experts" in the bar. Eye Onthe Glory produced a fair start and made all. Ardmayle Machine was slow away, moved off and was crowded at the 1st and clumsy at the third, but showed some pace. He'll not stay in this grade too long. 

Shes So Bright led up in the S1, before Ingenious hit the front. Ingenious was caught late on by Droopys Delia, who stayed on to lead near the line.

Pinta Magners made all to land the A4. Pinta Magners checked at the second bend, unfortunately causing Annandale Chief to be knocked over. Pinta Magners held on to beat Courts Ad Deb by a head.

Zaras Luck led up in the A3, before Droopys Fabregas swept by for a comfortable success. Droopys Fabregas was very slow away and seemed to have plenty to do at half way, but went into overdrive to get to the front.

Fear Mykeo was a short favourite in the A3. However, despite leading, she never got away from the field. Special Trip kept on to lead near the line. ISP had this one at 10-1. Greedy B'stard! A master class of punting.

Denwood Star was an impressive winner of the A1. No checking this week. Shelbourne Ryan was disappointing. Addington Ruby plodded on for second. Noirs Heart broke modestly and was done on the run up.

Time Connection made most in the finale (an S2) before Toosey Tina took over and led near the line. Box Of Tricks was again very wide at all bends. He dead heated for second with Time Connection. That must be the first dead heat for ages at the Stow, surely?
