‘REDSTAR POPPY’ OVERCOMES TRACK BIAS!

REDSTAR POPPY  –  Brave follow-up Win!

REDSTAR POPPY showed good early pace and led from the 1st bend when beating Cisberry Geo by a neck in an A6 on the 1st October! Up in grade for the A5 at 4-08 the February 14 daughter of Kinloch Brae had to battle hard to overcome today’s track bias! With the going favouring the outside runners ‘Poppy’ (trap 1) was sent off a 7/2 chance! Quick away she soon led and although strongly challenged from the 3rd bend she bravely held on to dead-heat for 1st place with Step In Front who is trained by Seamus Cahill. Droopys Beds trained by Doreen Walsh was just over a length back in 3rd place. Owned by The Ray Churchouse Syndicate Redstar Poppy clocked 30.91 (Normal) when winning for the 10th time at Hove!
