SIZZLERSCHEYENNE showed his authority when winning the Hove Maiden 475 Open race at the Nevill Road stadium last night. The August 2012 son of Hondo Black had won 6 races at Galway (one in A2 grade) before joining Norah but this was his first success at Hove after only having two A3 outings. Showing good early pace he led at the first bend and ran on strongly to beat the Maria Collins trained runner-up Memyselfandi by just over four lengths! Owned by Dave and Joy Cook, who’s “Sizzlers” dogs are in great form at present, ‘Cheyenne’ clocked 27.95 (-30) 27.65 calculated to open his Hove account.
