Totti night at the stow

Walthamstow Report 05 Apr 2007

An open raced card with a few graded races thrown in.

In the opening A8, Good Georgia and Bonnie Time showed the early pace and Bonnie Time got the better of that battle and led at half way. Good Georgia faded to the rear from the third bend. Silk Tie stayed on and threatened to challenge at the 3rd bend, but Bonnie Time pulled out more and the 7/4 favourite landed the opener.

Pork Pie showed some smart early and flung itself into the first bend and made all. He's a real trier and should be winning plenty more. Ballymac Pete broke modestly, showed some EP, but could never get on terms once Pork Pie had secured first run. Teresa Cahill told us a nice story about Pork Pie. A couple of nippers wrote her a letter saying that they were Pork Pie's biggest fans and said lots of nice things about him. Teresa was quite taken by this letter and the kids are in for a very nice surprise. Teresa is getting Steve Nash to take a load of action shots of Pork Pie and will be sending them to the kids. What a lovely gift that will be!

Craigdales Ruby made all to land the S2, despite easing at the 5th bend. Scooter Man loomed up in second at the 5th bend and got to within a long looking short head, despite not being the strongest of stayers. Centaur Driver ran a shocker and carried his head in an awkward position.

Snazzy Time bolted out of the traps and made all in the hurdles open. Strong Flow  showed some nice pace in the race and would have needed this race quite badly, following a lay off. I would think that Strong Flow will be giving Snazzy Time something to think about in the coming weeks, as he re-gains full fitness.

Sword Bridge landed a bit of a touch for connections as he landed the novice stayers race. He was slow away, but stayed on to catch the non-staying early pace setters. Bobs Express led to between the 3rd and 4th bend until Droopys Fabregas took over. Droopys Fabregas faded to finish last. Box Of Tricks plodded on for second. Sword Bridge will need to improve on this to be competitive in his subsequent opens, as he will seldom face a field as week as this one.

King Of Persia broke smartly and took a middle course before making all in the Division 3 standard. Armies Plan showed some middle pace and close it down to a length at the line, as King Of Persia weakened a bit. Miss Modesty went straight to the rails and was crowded on the run up. She moved off at the second bend and faded on the run in.

Those who took a short price about Farloe Focus in the veterans race had a sweat up during the race.Nil Finance broke very well and Farloe Focus  missed the break. Farloe Focus  ran on well and still won comfortably enough in the end, leading on the run in.

The division two stayers race looked a trappy event beforehand, with some in and out performers taking part. Smooth Darika made the running , but could not hold Big Brett Coal as he came to lead at the 5th bend for his first win this year. Fear Martina broke close behind Smooth Darika, but could never find the gaps. 

Sophie Rose was a decent winner of the maiden division 1 standard. She broke very well and made all. Deanridge Newman made a decent start to his career and should improve a fair bit for the experience. Deanridge Newman reputedly cost a bit over twenty grand. Deanridge Newman used to be named  Coolratty Marine and recorded a decent 28.85 at Longford.

Paulees Prince led up in the division two standard, but could not hold Ross Fortune, who grabbed the lead near the line. Ross Fortune is showing improved determination recently.

Roswell Bluesky led the field in the division one stayers race, but looked vulnerable some way from home. Back By Daylight took up the running at the 5th bend, but Go Princess showed the better stamina. The favourite Drimeen Rumble faded from the 5th bend after holding every chance.

The Arc favourite Vipar Totti was allowed to go off a generous 3/1 chance (touched 7/2) in the division 1 standard. Vipar Totti made a mockery of those odds and showed some quality early pace and made all in a fast 28.64. Nightshade ran a bit wide, but kept on for a four length second.

January Student went off a surprisingly short price in the maiden division 2 standard. January Student was very quick out of the boxes and despite holding a decent lead at half way, his stamina gave way, despite his trainer's keen urgings. Erinaceous Rapid ran on and led on the run in, as January Student went wide at the last turn and faded. Droopys Boss stayed on for second. Chase The Dream looked like he finished lame.

Bell Sensational won the final S3 shitters race, leading between the last two turns after a slow start. Moynevilla Robin had a dwell up in behind. Unlikely Hotshow was smashed up at the first bend, but still managed to finish second.
