Another Busy Day For Our Kennel Staff!
While we are able to sit back and enjoy the festive fun of the Christmas / New Year break with family and friends spare a thought for our devoted kennel team who keep our sport running! They have a busy time this Sunday with runners at both Hove and Sittingbourne! Lets hope all their hard work is rewarded with a few winners!
Busy day for Norah and her kennel ‘Team’.

Saturday 27th December HOVE Report
Beaten favourite on her last run Abbeys Zenyatta was made the 5/2 second favourite for the D2 Sprint at 7-31 but she was unable to produce a winning run after being badly baulked at the second turn! She was beaten just over six lengths by the Paul Garland trained winner Linwood Rumble clocking 17.34 (-10) 17.24 calculated in 5th place.
Boskill Breeze was also a fancied 5/2 second favourite for the A8 at 8-34 and she ran well when beaten just 3/4 of a length by the Jason Heath trained winner Frenchies Nod. Boskill Breeze ran on well clocking 31.16 (-20) 30.96 calculated in 3rd place! Kennel mate Anmima Madam was stepping up to 515 metres for the first time and will come on for that experience. She was slow away and crowded on the run-in when clocking 31.53 (-20) 31.33 calculated back in 5th place just over five lengths behind the winner.
Princess Pati was sent off the Even money favourite for the A4 at 9-24 and was only narrowly beaten in a tight finish! ‘Pati’ was crowded at the first bend but ran on well failing by just 3/4 of a length to peg back the Wayne Wrighting trained winner Vics On Fire. Princess Pati clocked 30.42 (-20) 30.22 calculated in 3rd place!
Cause Of Justice was one of ‘four’ 3/1 co-favourites for the A3 at 9-41 but his chance of winning was gone when he was baulked at the first bend. ‘Alfie’ clocked 30.79 (-20) 30.59 calculated when finishing 4th beaten six lengths by the Seamus Cahill trained winner Newinn Echo.

FIVE RUNNERS ON THE SUNDAY LUNCHTIME HOVE CARD!
Sunday 28th December HOVE Runners
Intayacynthia runs in the A8 at 11-11 but was well beaten on her return from a two month lay-off. The drop in grade may help.
Judicial Babe and Avit On Elsie line up in the A6 at 11-28 and are the most prolific winners in the race with 28 wins between them. But it looks a tightly graded affair!
