‘LONGRANGE DENIS’ FALLS IN ROMFORD SEMI-FINAL!

Wednesday 7th January 2015  –  ROMFORD Report

Longrange Denis suffered a nasty fall in the 3rd Semi-Final of the Coronation Cup at Romford last night. He was seen by the Romford vets and lovingly cared for by Gemma (Byford) he was allowed to travel home last night. He arrived back at the Hersham kennels around 11-30 and Norah reported that he had eaten up and was comfortable for the night.

Paul Young’s Millwards Master also fell in the race and the Norah Mac kennel wish him well. The Semi-Final was won by the Mark Wallis trained Adageo Bob with the Maxine Locke trained Hometown Day qualifying for the Final in 2nd place.

The latest report from Norah this morning is that ‘Denis’ is up and about and although very sore he was even wagging his tail! He left for the vets around 9-00 and we will update his condition later.
