Saturday 21st February 2015  –  HOVE Report

Winner

GLENVALE STEVIE had been off the track since mid-December but he showed his well being when clocking 16.55 sec in a sprint trial at Hove on Monday. He bettered that time when winning the ‘Leathems Desire 3 In A Row Stakes’ Di Sprint at 8-02. Sent off a 4/1 chance the November 2011 son of Paddy’s Flame clocked 16.41 (-10) 16.31 calculated when running on well to beat the Wendy Short trained How Zat by 1/2 a length. Owned by the Norahmacnuggets syndicate the lightly raced ‘Stevie’ is very decent on his day and was winning for the 6th time at Hove. He also has 3 wins at Sittingbourne and a win at Drumbo Park on his card!
