How Our Other Runners Fared

HYNESS MILL has been running well without getting his head in front and sadly it was more of the same today where the September 14 son of Droopys Jet was beaten less than a length in the D2 Sprint at 2-27. A 4/1 shot ‘Ron’ held every chance and finishing in 4th place he clocked 16.65 (Normal) when beaten just 3/4 of a length by the Seamus Cahill trained winner Annies Girl.

FOREVER MICK can tend to find ‘trouble’ in his races and the June 15 son of Tullymurry Act was sent off a 7/1 chance for the A6 at 3-07. Despite making a fast start ‘Micky’ was baulked at the 3rd bend and clocking 30.91 (Normal) he finished in 6th place beaten just under seven lengths by Who Needs Spirit who is trained by Seamus Cahill.

OXTED FLYER was a 7/1 chance for the A5 at 3-48 where the June 15 son of Droopys Cain made a slow start! Suffering crowding at the 1/4 mark he finished in 6th place clocking 30.72 (Normal) when beaten just over three lengths by Gemini Queen who is trained by Claude Gardiner.

CASHONTHERUN was sent off the 7/1 outsider for the D1 Sprint at 5-07 but the August 14 son of Colorful Champ held every chance when finishing in 2nd place! Clocking 16.63 (Normal) he was beaten just over two lengths by Fridays Angel who is trained by Tony Taylor. Kennel mate OBEY THE RULES was a 5/1 chance and although finishing in 6th place the November 13 son of Westmead Hawk was always in with a shout! Clocking 16.82 (Normal) he was beaten just under five lengths by the winner.

DROOPYS TEQUILA was a 7/2 shot for the A8 at 5-22 where the September 13 daughter of Droopys Scolari made a bold bid to make all. Quick away she led from the 1st bend to the run-in and clocked 30.66 (Normal) when finishing in 2nd place beaten just under two lengths by the Derek Knight trained winner Mairead Blue.

RACENIGHT DUKE was sent off a 10/1 chance for the A5 at 6-11 but the August 13 son of Head Bound was slow away! Baulked at the 3/4 mark he finished in 6th place clocking 30.83 (Normal) when beaten eight and a half lengths by Telthefishermen who is trained by Claude Gardiner.
