WEDNESDAY HOVE REPORT

Wednesday 20th September 2017  –  HOVE Report

WINNER

Just when it looked as though we would be leaving Hove empty handed our final runner on the day DROOPYS TEQUILA stepped up to the mark to save our blushes! The September 13 daughter of Droopys Scolari suffered crowding at the 1st bend when finishing 4th beaten just under six lengths by Romeo Speedster last Wednesday but she was sent off the 5/2 joint-favourite for the A8 at 5-56. Taking up the running at 1/2 way she ran on well to beat the Seamus Cahill trained Dinner Lady by two and a half lengths! Owned by Trevor Cooper, Dave Staddon and Ray Wheeler Droopys Tequila clocked 31.05 (-30) 30.75 calculated when winning her 12th race at Hove!
