Thursday Hove Report / Friday Runners!
THURSDAY 5th February 2015 – HOVE Report
Droopys Rives a July 2013 son of Westmead Hawk had gone well in his trials and was pitched straight in at D1 grade. Although he finished 5th beaten eight lengths his performance was better than his finishing position. He clung to the rails from his trap 1 draw but try as he might he could not squeeze past Brother Charles in trap 2 and was baulked at the first and second bends as the pair came together. ‘River’ showed a good attitude clocking 17.09 (-10) 16.99 calculated and will come on for this run! The race was won by the Paul Garland trained Solid Fairy.

LEATHEMS DESIRE Norah McEllistrim Withdrawn – Off Colour
It was a shame that Leathems Desire (Off-Colour) had to pull out of the CORAL HOME OF THE PRICE BOMB STANDARD Open Race as it would of been a good marker to see how our improving pup would have compared against the high class Jet Stream Smurf who won the race. The Kevin Hutton trained winner clocked a stunning 29.91 (-20) 29.71 calculated when beating the Paul Young trained Jaytee India. With the withdrawel of ‘Winston’ it was left to Sizzlerscheyenne to take on the hot-shot! ‘Sizzlers’ ran well for Dave and Joy Cook finishing in 3rd place. Baulked at the first bend Sizzlerscheyenne clocked a decent 30.35 (-20) 30.15 calculated just over five lengths off the winner.
**************************************
Princess Pati tried everything she could in the A4 at 9-56 to follow up her previous win! Showing good pace to the turn she was in a nice position going down the back straight. Just starting to close on the leaders she was crowded and forced to check at the 3/4 mark when going well. Recovering she ran on bravely to figure in a three-way finish but was beaten a head, and short-head, in 3rd place! ‘Pati’ clocked 30.58 (-10) 30.48 calculated behind the Dean Childs trained winner Greenhill Star.
