Saturday 10th May HOVE Report
Winners
SPORTING TRACEY was winning her seventh race this year when taking the A4 at 8-18 in comfortable fashion. A superb 4.14 split set her up for a run away win beating the Jason Heath trained Seagrave Sam by almost three lengths. Owned by Mr K. Hazeltine the November 2010 daughter of Blackstone Gene was sent off the 2/1 favourite and clocked a very good 30.24 (-10) 30.14 calculated. Sporting Tracey now has 12 career wins to her credit!
DROOPYS WINNIE took full advantage of the drop in grade for the A7 at 9-41 and duly won for the first time in her career. The March 2011 daughter of Ace Hi Rumble is owned by Norah McEllistrim and has been sprinting for most of the year but relished the switch back to 515 metres and beat the Doreen Walsh trained Beachey Head by four and a half lengths! ‘Winnie’ led at the 3/4 mark and clocked 30.45 (-10) 30.35 calculated and was returned the 9/4 favourite.
CAUSE OF JUSTICE completed the treble with a sensational run in the A2 at 10-13 where he clocked a superb 29.98 (-10) 29.88 calculated. The January 2012 son of College Causeway has won four A3 races this year but this was his first win in A2 grade! Owned by the Jury Of Ten syndicate Cause Of Justice ran wide and finished strongly to beat the Wayne Wrighting trained Woodmancote Teej by almost two lengths. The 7/1 ‘outsider’ clocked a career best when winning for the 10th time at Hove!
How Our Other Runners Fared
Lochys Blue Boy ran another good race in the D1 Sprint at 9-57 and using his early pace led to the run-in to be beaten just 3/4 of a length by the Seamus Cahill trained 6/4 favourite Lukes Tribute. Lochys Blue Boy clocked 16.59 (-5) 16.54 calculated in 2nd place.
Graiguenoe Royal was added to the card overnight and proved his worth when runner up in the A6 at 8-34. He was crowded at the start but ran on well clocking 30.85 (-10) 30.75 calculated when beaten just over two lengths by the Dean Childs trained winner Coolavanny Patsy.
We had two runners making their Hove debuts tonight and they both performed well. Fine Royal was 3rd in the A5 at 8-51 where he ran on well to be just one and a half lengths adrift of the Claude Gardiner trained Droopys Thunder at the line. The Dave Staddon & Ray Wheeler owned ‘newcomer’ clocked 30.63 (-10) 30.53 calculated.
The Norah Mac Racing Clubs latest purchase showed plenty of promise on his debut run tonight. Longrange Denis had gone well in his trials and should give members plenty of fun in the future! He made his life hard tonight with a very slow (4.35) break in the A3 at 9-07 and despite crowding at the first bend and being baulked at the 1/4 mark he clocked a decent 30.42 (-10) 30.32 calculated finishing in 3rd place around four lengths behind the Ken Tester trained winner Droopys Franklin.
Sizzlers Big Boy got crowded at the second bend in the A7 at 7-31 and was never able to get involved there after. He clocked 30.99 (-10) 30.89 calculated and was beaten just under five lengths by the Wendy Short trained winner Ajax Freya.
