13th HOVE WIN FOR DROOPYS ELMA!

DROOPYS ELMA was a winning favourite last August where she beat Bulmers Dolly by just over two lengths in B2 grade! The February 15 daughter of Mall Brandy has failed to trouble the judge in ten races since but was made a 5/2 chance for the A6 at 8-38. Slow away and crowded at 1/2 way she had it all to do but finishing strongly she got up to beat the Claude Gardiner trained Cooly Contessa by a head! Owned by Norah McEllistrim ‘Droopys Elma’ clocked 30.34 (Normal) when winning her 13th race at Hove!
