‘SWIFT MESSI’ CELEBRATES HIS 28th WIN AT HOVE!
Saturday 20th June HOVE Report
Winner
Swift Messi – A 28th Hove Win for Lionel!
Veteran SWIFT MESSI was given a weeks rest recently but the September 2009 son of Hondo Black made it clear that he’s not ready to collect his pension just yet when getting back to what he does best – winning races! Going to traps for his 179th race ‘Lionel’ was notching up his 28th win at the seaside track when winning the D2 Sprint at 9-41. Owned by the Glum Sinners syndicate he was sent off a 9/4 chance and showed good early pace to lead from the first bend he stayed on well to clock 16.77 (-15) 16.62 calculated when beating the Jason Heath trained Raithby Hope by 3/4 of a length! In contrast kennel mate Garrison Madrid is still searching for her first career win! She was baulked at the first bend and crowded on the run-in and clocked 17.24 (-15) 17.09 calculated when finishing in 4th place just under six lengths behind the winner.
How Our Other Runners Fared
Kilcommon was sent off a 6/1 chance on his Hove debut in the A10 at 7-31. The August 13 son of Vans Escalade made his task difficult by making a slow start but the pup will find improvement! He clocked 31.69 (-30) 31.39 calculated when finishing in 4th place beaten four lengths by the Paul Garland trained winner Newtown Aggie.
Fanore Breeze was a good 2nd last Wednesday and on the strength of that run was made the 5/2 joint favourite for the D2 Sprint at 8-34. Showing good early pace she was prominent till fading to finish in 3rd place behind the Maria Collins trained winner Shirleys Whisky. Fanore Breeze clocked 16.84 (-15) 16.69 calculated when beaten just under three lengths by the winner. Glaise Spice came in as a late replacement for the withdrawn Fairhill Frankie. Glaise Spice had gone nicely in his trials and the October 13 son of Crash was sent off a 7/2 chance for his Hove debut. Unfortunately the youngster was baulked at the first bend and was always behind finishing in 6th place clocking 17.17 (-15) 17.02 calculated beaten seven lengths by the winner.
Windy Warrior had won two of his last five outings and again ran well in the A7 at 9-07 when beaten two and a half lengths by the Claude Gardiner trained winner Baran Kansas. Windy Warrior was crowded at the second bend and the 4/1 chance clocked 30.98 (-30) 30.68 calculated finishing in 3rd place!
Cause Of Justice continues in really good form since his return from injury. He put in another fine effort when 2nd in the A3 at 9-57. Despite being baulked at the first bend the January 12 son of College Causeway ran on well to clock an excellent 30.37 (-20) 30.17 calculated when beaten just over a length by the Jason Heath trained winner Lemon Diva.
Another high class performer Viscount Rambler ran well in the A2 at 10-30. Despite making a quick start he was baulked at the first and third bends! He was beaten just two lengths when clocking 30.42 (-20) 30.22 calculated finishing in 4th place behind the Seamus Cahill trained winner Who Needs Class.
