Rio Quando flies home in the maiden

Walthamstow Report 09 Oct 2007

Tuesday's card featured a Greyhound Scene night. 

The races were called opens, but I shall be calling them GS races.

It was round one to the locals as Ringview Rascal made all for an easy success in the 430m GS maiden. Tadgh The Chimp followed him home at a respectable distance.

Garryglass Tyson just got the better of Emporio Fitzroy on the run to the turn in the Novice GS race. They had a good battle, with Emporio Fitzroy getting on top on the run in. Special Roxi ran in snatches and stayed on for third.

In the GS sprint, Tobys Mate was surprisingly sent off 11/4 following his decent effort in the last sprint held here. He cracked out and made all. Nosey Be Two kept on for second.

IN the novice stayers GS race, Airtech Spur led on the run to the third bend from the early pace setter Lockdale Prince. Airtech Spur ran wide at the last (tired) and just held on from Chadwell Fiona and Lockdale Prince by a head and the same.

Swift N Smart ran out a ready winner in the end of the puppy GS race. He repeated his feat of last week, seemingly losing the plot at half way. Such was the weak nature of the opposition, he managed to get going again and pulled away. The 29.62 winning time said it all.

Agincourt Beau made the early running in the GS 640 race. Alexanders Pride stayed on and led from between the last two bends. Nice to see Ernie Gaskin return to the track. Silbury Ruby kept on for second. Fear Martina suffered trouble at various points, but was never travelling.

Rio Quando ran out an impressive winner of the GS maiden. Cavecourt Black moved to the left from his inside, leaving him plenty of room to work with on the run to the bend. Rio Quando was ca 4L up on Cavecourt Black at the 3rd bend and pulled away impressively on the run in.

Centaur Fuji ran out a convincing winner of the GS marathon. He ran very wide at the 4th and 8th bends, but had plenty in hand. Tipp The Breeze ran ok in second, leading from the 3rd to the 7th bend and keeping on to the line.

Moaning Zizou made all in the 430m GS race from T1. Ballyneale Turn kept on for second from Bell Classic, who gave valuable ground away running wide at the bends.

Erinaceous Rapid showed good early pace in the GS 640m race and poached a good lead. As his stamina was running out at the last bend, he was attacked by Rockchase James, who was shown the red card. Coolanga Flyer stayed on and led on the run in.

Sophie Rose made all in the next 475m GS race, from Fear Miss Nelly, who ran rails from trap three and held every chance. She went down by a length. Carden Noir stayed on for third.

Paulees Prince showed good early pace and led up in the next 475m GS race. However, his strde shortened rounding the last few bends and in the scramble to the line, Lockdale Duke won by a short head from Moaning Pacey.

Centaur Cappo made all for a very easy win in the GS 640m maiden. Bandicoot Kiki plodded on to finish a remote second.
