I Dont Clare wins her 3rd Stow race on the spin

Walthamstow Report 08 Apr 2008

Tuesday's card was a modest graded card, with plenty of Bags dogs.

Black Lightning flew out of the traps in the opening A9 and made all. Sirdar kept on to finish second after a very slow start.

Toosey Lyn broke best and led up in the H3. He fell at the second hurdle and Coolaboola Beth took over on the run to the 3rd bend and went on to win. Caseys Winner kept on for second.

King Jackson ran all over the shop in a weak A8, but still came out on top. Blue Kanaka eased at the 3rd bend and plugged on for second. There's a real funny story about Blue Kanaka. She whelped a litter in Oct 06, though it was not planned! Grayfox Chip was kennelled next to Blue Kanaka and he paid her a visit in the night. He tunnelled in from the kennel next door and had his evil way with her. What a legendary swordsman. Now what's the chance of him being a decent dog, surely he'll be a modest grader? No, he's a decent open race dog. Now, you have to laugh at the names of a couple of the pups. One is named Avit (runs at the Stow on Tuesday) and another is named Hammerthedevil.

Lins Dragon made all to land a modest A7. Wheres Rosie showed some pace from the 2nd bend and kept on for second.

Centaur Gemstone made all to land the second A7 (5 ran). He'd been twice a beaten fav recently, so was not winning out of turn. Sailor Lee plugged on for second. Centaur Gemstone is out of the same dam as the marathon bitch Genesis Alix.

Chilli Blue broke well and led round in the A6. Seven Gold Bars outpaced him running into the third bend and went on to score, despite running wide at the last bend. Kinda Classic showed some pace down the back straight after a very slow start and plugged on for second.

Doonanes Babe led round in the S2, but Silky Rose swept by going down the back straight for the final time and ran out a ready winner. Doonanes Babe plodded on for second. Reenview Lass challenged and was bumped at the 3rd, before fading from the last bend.

Mistley Colonel led up in the second A6, but he didn't see which way Pinehurst Silk went at the 3rd bend. Pinehurst Silk ran out a decent winner. Bomber Bailey kept on for second, but has a bit of a scratchy action.

Robbies Hero led round in the A5, but could not match the pace shown by Versailles. Versailles took over at the 3rd bend after not running the 1st two bends fluently and he went on to score. He's a long way from being the most reliable. Versailles held on for second after fading on the run in.

Lodge Magic made all to land the A4 following up on his win last week. Directors Vision moved off & suffered a bump at the 1st bend, before keeping on for second.  Droopys Marcus got it all wrong, There will be other days for him.

Castlemary Podge made all to land the A3. He was a little slow rounding the 1st two bends and rode a bump before scoring readily enough. He's now 4 wins from 7 at the Stow. Ballyneale Light stayed on at one pace for second.

Offshore Mill broke best and led round in the A2. Despite not running the 2nd bend fluently, I Dont Clare showed the best pace down the back and led from the 3rd bend. Dark Fantasy plugged on and finished second from the fading Offshore Mill.

Tiggy Oggy timed his late challenge to perfection, when getting up on the line to land a horrid S4 finale. Beltra Delta also stayed on and went down by a short head. Courts Ad Unique had made the early running, but faded on the run in.
