“Blazing Swallow” Swoops To Conquer!
OUR SUNDAY HOVE WINNERS!
‘BLAZING SWALLOW’ STRIKES LATE FOR VICTORY!
‘LOBELIA’ WINS BY THREE LENGTHS TO DOUBLE UP FOR NORAH!
Sunday 29th June HOVE Report
Winners
After taking a fall on the 1st June BLAZING SWALLOW returned to the track last week and was beaten in A7 grade. The drop in grade today for the A8 at 11-42 did the trick as she ‘swooped’ late to collar the Derek Knight trained Cameron on the line! The June 2011 daughter of Blackstone Gene has had her problems and was winning for the first time since 11th September 2013. She was off from December through to May so this was a well deserved victory! Owned by Ross Banner, Martin McKinley, Mike McKinley and Dave Staddon Blazing Swallow clocked 30.77 sec when leading on the run-in to score by 3/4 of a length! This was a 6th career win for the lightly raced Blazing Swallow with all those wins coming at Hove.
Running well and not out of the first three places throughout June the consistent LOBELIA deserved her win today! The July 2011 daughter of Van’s Escalade showed good early pace and led at the third bend to go clear for a three lengths win! Owned by Ross Banner, Ted Lloyd, Jim Reid and Dave Staddon Lobelia clocked 30.32 sec when easily beating runner up Jays Pixie who is trained by Wendy Short. This was a 7th career win for Lobelia.
How Our Other Runners Fared
Intayacynthia has been knocking on the door recently and a win cannot be far away! She finished 4th in the A6 at 11-11 today but was beaten less than a length! She was not helped by a slow start and crowding at the second bend and clocked 30.52 sec behind the Paul Garland trained winner Newtown Skiprob. Watch Matt was a non-runner in this race.
The Racing Clubs Droopys Leonard was added to the A5 at 11-28 and although he finished 6th he was only beaten just over 2 lengths. ‘Lenny’ racing wide held every chance and clocked 30.69 sec behind the Wendy Short trained winner Droopys Form.
Sporting Tracey was 2nd on Wednesday behind the impressive Longrange Denis and she filled that spot again today when runner-up in the A2 at 12-12. Racing wide she held every chance clocking 30.36 sec when beaten two and three quarter lengths by Tullna Hawk who is trained by Derek Knight.
Droopys Margaret was beaten just one length when finishing 4th in the A4 at 12-41. She suffered crowding at the second bend and clocked 30.60 sec behind the Ken Tester trained winner Maglass Brae.
Causeiloveyou was 3rd in the A4 at 12-58 clocking 30.46 sec after crowding and checking at the first bend. He was further crowded at the 3rd bend and was beaten four and a half lengths by Clairkeith Grace who is trained by Claude Gardiner.
Fine Royal was sent off the 5/2 joint favourite for the A6 at 1-44 but he was unable to give Dave Staddon a third winner on the day after he suffered crowding at the fourth bend and on the run-in! He clocked 30.71 sec when 3rd beaten two lengths by the Claude Gardiner trained winner Clairkeith Casey.
The Racing Clubs Horse Outside was made the 2/1 favourite for the A8 at 1-58 and railing well he held every chance but faded into 3rd place clocking 30.77 sec when beaten two and a quarter lengths by the Ken Tester trained winner Blackrock Ruby.
