Freddie puts in a tremendous display in the P4

Walthamstow Report 01 Mar 2008s.

Saturday's card was an ok graded card.

Saturday marked the retirement of trainers Gary Baggs and Peter Rich. Both are handing over to their respective daughter & son, so both will continue to be involved.

Mimicking Meecha looked a good thing on her 6 bend debut on the S3, after running well down to the pick up on her last 4 bend run. She went off a well backed 6/4 shot and ran away with the race. She was led for a few bends by Annandale Dixie, but Annandale Dixie did not see which way Mimicking Meecha went.

Terry My Pal set the early pace in the H1, but he tired from the 3/4 and was caught on the run in. Eye Onthe Flame led on the run in despite hitting the last flight. Roancarrig View plugged on for second.

Bell Tornado showed pace last time and looked another likely looking fav to win tonight. He led off the second bend and came home better than on his debut last time. Pennys Lindsay led to the 2nd bend, but did no not take the bends fluently. She kept on for 2nd.

The M2 looked a match beforehand between Bell Tempest, who was dropped in class, but not running well and Irate Kate, who had won and M1 and a couple of 8 bend opens some time again. It turned out a mismatch as Irate Kate checked at every bend. Bell Tempest ran out an easy winner.

Podges Dilemma showed the benefit of a couple  of away days at Monmore as he made all to land the P5. Droopys Zach kept on well for second. Castlemary Podge stayed on for 3rd.

Greenfield Fawn led early in the S1, but checked at the 4th and faded out of it. Cranham Girl led between the last two bends and held on by half a length from Gilbeyhall Rodge, who stayed on well for second, afetr a slow start.

I Dont Clare landed the A4, returning from lameness after 126 days. She was not fluent at the bends and was headed on the back straight by Beat Them George. She kept on pulling and led again from the 3rd bend. So Said He kept on and finished second.

Lethal Freddie destroyed his rivals in the P4. He broke well, pulled clear and won 4L in a decent 28.73. He's surely an open racer in the making. Lethal Freddie ran a lot better this time and kept on for second.

Lode Star broke well and led round in the S1. Clear Decision came home well after a slow start and done him right on the line

Journey Back made the most of a class drop for an authoritative display in the A3. His kennelmate Confident James towed him up to the 3rd bend, but didn't see which way Journey Back from the 3rd bend. Whoosh Im Gone put in a better display in 2nd and appears to be adjusting to the grade he's worked his way up to.

Droopys Kan Kan made all to land the M1. Rhias Beauty followed him home, but was one paced on the run in.

Offshore Mill made all to land the A2, holding on by a head from Greenfield Post, who stayed on after a very slow start. Wheres Yer Man held every chance in 3rd.

Maneen Haka shot out of the traps and led up in the A1. He faded on the run in and both the eventual winner, Tanner Butler and Reverse Pace went past him. Tanner Butler got a clear run and held off Reverse Pace, who was slightly crowded rounded the first 2 bends. There was half a a length between them at the line.

Tilly broke best and led round in the S2 finale, but was one paced from the last bend and was taken near the line by Poachertink, in the usual competitive closing race. Mitzie made some late ground, but could never get on terms.
