Droopys Oi Oi scorches home on his debut

Walthamstow Report 08 March 2008

Saturday's card was an ok graded card.

Pennys Cleopatra made all to land the opening A9, building upon her fair debut run last week. She again ran a bit wide at a bend or two, but had few threats after a pile up in behind at the first bend. Johnstown Polly got a clear run and kept on for 2nd. Talksport Cool fell out again and couldn't get on terms.

Terry My Pal made the early running in the H1, but again collapsed from the last bend. Billsdad Bill stayed on and led on the run in. Stemart Bobby came home well and should get his head in front sooner, rather than later.

Bubble Boy won the S3 in a slow motion finish by a head from Silky Rose.

Met Your Match went round on the draw in the A8, but checked at the 3rd bend & faded on the run in. Aero Matt showed some pace to the 1st bend after a modest start. He rode a bump at the 1st bend and led from the 3rd bend for his first win on his 4th attempt. Black Axel plugged on for second.

Freedom Man again showed his pleasing turn of early speed and made all to land the P7. He's not too strong on the run in, but his early pace should ensure he wins his share. Droopys Giamatti was a bit outpaced at the 2nd bend, but kept on for second, going down by half a length.

Droopys Oi Oi made an awesome debut in the A6. He unleashed some rather splendid early pace and destroyed his field. He'll go up two grades for this, but he'll surely be one to follow. White Wanda broke well, couldn't live with the winner and faded on the run in, hanging on to second.

Tiger Scot set a good early pace in the S1, but slowed at the 5th & faded on the run in. Clear Decision came from well off the pace to lead near the line. Tiger Scot still held on for second, which doesn't say much for the rest of them.

Newlawn Chance made all to win the A5, for his 2nd win from 8 races. Mays Baileysbest trapped ok, was outpaced to the 1st bend and plugged on for second.

Roswell Zodiac showed pace to lead at the second bend in the A4 after a slow start. He couldn't sustain the gallop & faded on the run in. Special Trip led to the second & led again on the run in. He was not fluent at the bends. Begin To Hope started slowly, was crowded at the 3rd bend and plugged on for second. 

Witches Petal made all the running to land a modest M3. Expert Plan was not fluent at the bends, but plodded on for second. The favvy Dubai Divine fell out of the traps and never got competitive.

I Dont Clare made most of the running to land the A3 at a very generous price of 4/1. Largo Lassie was outpaced at the second bend and plugged on for second. Directors Trick briefly headed I Dont Clare on the back straight, but couldn't match strides with I Dont Clare and faded on the run in. I Dont Clare was a decent winner.

Perceptive Pacey picked up the gutless Secretariat in the A2. Secretariat appeared to have the race by the balls, but still slung it away, running wide at the bends. Perceptive Pacey has been a credit to connections and won his 32nd Stow start from 112 attempts. Secretariat was a nice pup, but has lost his way.

Black As Coal led from the second bend to land the A1. War Of Attrition was not fluent at the 2nd bend, but stayed on for second, going down by a head. Reverse Pace was not fluent at a couple of bends and could not get on terms.
