FIRST ‘CLUB’ WIN FOR BALLYSTEEN SKY!

BALLYSTEEN SKY  –  came from last to 1st!

BALLYSTEEN SKY was only added to the Norah Mac Racing Club strength last month but the January 16 son of Taylors Sky wasted no time in getting off the mark for his new owners thus taking their total number of winners to 167. Sent off the 5/2 joint-favourite for the A11 at 5-08 he came from a hopeless position to open his account at Hove! Slow away and crowded at the 1st turn he was in last place coming out of the 2nd bend! A good eight lengths off the leader ‘Rodney’ ran on strongly to wear down the Doreen Walsh trained Right Little Gem to win by 3/4 of a length! Owned by the Norah Mac Racing Club  ‘Ballysteen Sky’ clocked 31.33 (Normal) when winning for the 1st time at Hove!

How Our Other Runners Fared

POWER MARY held every chance in the D3 Sprint at 2-52 and clocking 16.78 (Normal) she finished in 2nd place beaten just 3/4 of a length by Brinkleys Oscar. Kennel mate SISTERS FRIEND was 3/1 co-favourite on his Hove debut but never showed after making a slow start. Clocking 17.16 (Normal) he finished in 6th place five and a half lengths behind the winner.

BABY BLESS HIM showed good early pace and led at the 1st bend in the A2 at 3-29. Striding out well down the far side he looked the likely winner but sadly he was caught on the line and beaten a ‘head’ by Ashwood Telly. Finishing in 2nd place Baby Bless Him clocked 30.42 (Normal).

OBEY THE RULES was baulked at the 2nd bend in the A6 at 3-49 but he still managed to claim 2nd place! Clocking 30.96 (Normal) he was beaten just under two lengths by Suki Shell.

SPIDERMAN was unable to make a real challenge in the D1 Sprint at 4-48 and finishing in 5th place he clocked 16.66 (Normal) when beaten four and a half lengths by Droopys Ed.

Crowded on the run up and again at the 1st bend in the D2 Sprint at 6-02 TOKYO JOE was also baulked at the 2nd! But finishing in 2nd place he clocked 16.97 (Normal) when beaten four lengths by Woodcocks Cobra.
