AFTER SHOCK  –  a 5th Hove win for Annie!

AFTER SHOCK led all the way when beating Swift Holly by two and a half lengths back in January but the April 15 daughter of Superior Product has since been off for two months through injury! She returned to finish 5th behind Fanore Flyer in a D2 last Saturday but down in grade for the D3 Sprint at 6-44 ‘Annie’ was sent off the 5/4 favourite!

BALLYSTEEN STAR made it a 1,2,3, for the kennel when finishing in 3rd place! The 5/1 shot held every chance and clocking 16.93 (+5) 16.98 calc. she was beaten just over two lengths by the winner.
