Noirs Ted shows his class again

Walthamstow Report 20 Oct 2007

Saturday brought the Injured Jockey meeting.

The opening puppy stayers saw a very decent performance from Droopys Edith. Emporio Glory set the early pace, but was easily swept aside as Droopys Edith really quickened down the back straight. Danielles Dora ran wide and stayed on for second.

Despite receiving a fair whack at the first bend, Noirs Ted shrugged it off and made all in a smart 28.64. Legal Major flew down the back straight and it would have been closer, had he run the third bend more fluently. The margin was just a length in the end.

A poor looking 6 bend hurdle followed and Baran Geronimo broke smartly and led round. He didn't sustain the gallop and Droopys Best Guy took it up as the leader faded. Blue Meadow Lad stayed on for second.

The novice marathon looked another modest event beforehand. Fabulous County made the early running, but didn't see out the trip. Paws For Cash took it up at the 5th bend and went on to score. Swift Leon stayed on at one pace for second.

Double Top put in one of his good runs in the IJF stayers. He was quickly away and made all. He recorded a decent 39.73. Go Marco Polo kept on for second.

Black Horse ran out a trap to line winner in a modest looking novice stayers event. Talking Tina kept on for second. The favvy Comeback was slowly into his stride and wide at the bends. he stayed on late to grab 3rd.

The Jumbo marathon (1045m) looked one of the better contests of the night. The favvy Slaneyside Demon was badly outpaced early and only ran on late to grab 3rd. Centaur Fuji set a scorching gallop up front, but didn't see out this extreme distance. Rosshill View gradually wore her down and led near the 9th bend. Jangos Snowdrop stayed on for second.

Ronnies Hustle looked much improved on his return to the track in the puppy standard. He was quick away and made all, he won well. He recorded a fast 28.59 for a pup. He is the most beautiful looking dog and his owners should be in for a lot of success with this lad. Droopys Hamlet was impeded on the run to the bend and put in a very good run in second. He is very much one to follow in the coming weeks. Mr Baggs has robbed the owners of a few wins showing his hand here.

Julies Protege made the early running in the bitches stayer event. She didn't get home and Killough Air stayed on after a slow start, took a rails course and led between the last two bends. Rackethall Holly stayed on after a slow start for second. Erinaceous Rapid eased at several bends and doesn't seem to quite see out this trip anyway. Swift Maggie ran a shocker.

Snazzy Time paced up to the bend in the hurdle open, but again eased. He was badly crowded. Strong Flow swung round on the draw as Firm Handed was also badly crowded. Dixies Woods started very slowly, got a clear run ran on and led from near the 3rd bend. Firm Handed kept on well for second.

Lode Star led up in the marathon, but didn't get the trip and faded from the 7th bend. Romford Carthree was smashed up at the second bend and lost all chance. En It reluctantly took it up from the last bend and was anything but impressive. White Bomber was very one pace from the seventh bend and still managed to finish second.

Only five went to post in the veterans stayers event and Silbury Ruby ran out a comfortable winner. Eye Onthe Jewel towed her along to near the 5th bend, but had no answers, as Silbury Ruby swept by. Silbury Ruby recorded a decent 39.71. 

Milldean Flash produced a flying start in the standard open. However, his stride shortened on the run in and Island View picked him up near the line. This was Island View's 3rd win from his 3 runs at the Stow. Blonde Buzz ran a decent race in third.

The night went out with a bit of a whimper as moderate maiden was put in for the last race. Sparkys Stag made all. Clonbrin Mai was one pace from the last bend and went down by 3 3/4 lengths.
