BALIBO MAGS took her first look at the London Road track in a ROMFORD v HOVE INTER-TRACK RACE over 400 metres on the 10th August. Showing good early pace she led from the first bend and powered away for a sparkling win over the Philip Simmonds trained Kennedy Flair. She finished 4th clocking 30.99 (Normal) when beaten four lengths by Liosgarbh Andy in an A4 at Hove on the 14th September and she clocked 24.44 calculated when finishing 2nd beaten just a ‘short-head’ by Cabriol Aramis in a 2-dog Trial over 400 metres at Romford on the 20th September! Given a drop in grade for an A5 at Hove last Saturday the July 14 daughter of Razldazl Rioga owned by the Norah Mac Racing Mags syndicate led at the first bend and kept on well to beat Seanachie Boy by a length! Clocking 30.40 calculated Balibo Mags was winning her 4th race at Hove! ‘Mags’ was nicely drawn in trap 1 for the BAGS TRACK CHAMPIONSHIP BITCHES race at 2-47 today but despite running her best race at Romford she had to settle for 2nd place behind the impressive winner Quantum who is trained locally by Philip Simmonds. Mags ran on well after first bend crowding and clocking 24.28 calculated she earned 7 points for Team Hove!
