‘SHYAN ZIPPY’ TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE DROP IN GRADE!

Wednesday 14th January 2015  –  HOVE Report

Winner

The drop in grade did the trick for SHYAN ZIPPY to return to winning ways in the A9 at 4-08. The May 2011 daughter of Tullymurry Act had gone thirteen runs without success but despite trouble in running she got up on the line to beat the Maria Collins trained Bombay Noir by a neck! Owned by Mr N. C. D. Hall she clocked 31.48 (-30) 31.18 calculated when winning her 5th race at Hove. This was a 6th career win for the 8/1 chance as she has a Limerick success on her Irish card!

How Our Other Runners Fared 

Leathems Desire was involved in one of those typical Hove ‘blanket’ finishes in the D1 Sprint at 3-28 and despite coming home in 5th place he was only a length off the Derek Knight trained winner Roses Risk. Slow away and baulked at the first bend ‘Winston’ clocked 16.84 (-15) 16.69 calculated finishing right on the heels of the leaders!

Speak Out Lilly has found it difficult at A5 level after rapidly climbing the grades! It was the same again in the A5 at 4-47 but she was only beaten two and a half lengths by the Derek Knight trained winner Hi Kina after being crowded at the third bend! ‘Lilly’ clocked 31.24 (-30) 30.94 calculated finishing in 6th place!

Our two kennel runners in the D2 Sprint at 5-07 both got into trouble at the first bend! Abbeys Zenyatta was baulked and forced to check and clocked 17.15 (-15) 17.00 calculated in 5th place when beaten four and a half lengths by the Derek Knight trained winner Maketherounds. Watch Matt was slow away and crowded at the first bend and clocked 17.16 (-15) 17.01 calculated in 6th place just under five lengths behind the winner.

Ballymac Tonya trapped better in the A8 at 5-22 but was crowded at the first bend. ‘Tonya’ clocked 31.41 (-30) 31.11 calculated finishing in 5th place when beaten two lengths by the Jason Heath trained winner Nods Blue Boy.

Judicial Babe was quick away and led to the run-in but was beaten two lengths at the line by the Seamus Cahill trained winner Ionic Impact in the A7 at 5-56. Judicial Babe clocked 31.19 (-30) 30.89 calculated in 3rd place!

Sizzlers Big Boy was not beaten far in the A6 at 6-11. He was slow away but ran on well to finish just over a length behind the Doreen Walsh trained winner Rustic Charm. Sizzlers Big Boy clocked 31.10 (-30) 30.80 calculated in 2nd place!
