So Said He burns up the track 

Walthamstow Report 11 Mar 2008

Tuesday's card was an average graded card.

The weak opening A9 was taken by Slaney Oak, who came off the rails and led from the 2nd bend. He was returning from a 64 day break, so it was a fair effort. Act Your Age started very slowly indeed and kept on for second. The favvy Mistley Hammer ran a poor race.

Feedback made all in the H3 and in a bunch finish was joined on the line by Omeugo Mison. The favvy Ravestock Woody had a minor dwell up & faded on the run in.

Jim The Butcher made most of the running in the A8, but was picked up by Jalee Storm on the run in. Jalee Storm had dropped 3 grades after failing to win in her last 8 runs. Mistley Colonel started slowly, paced up to the bend and faded on the run in, but held second.

The S3 was an ok race to watch, despite the low standard. Odell Inca and Sharons Best had a good buckle with Sharons Best coming out narrowly on top 

Perrys Carat broke best in the A7, but was outpaced & outfought (literally!) by Bullet Star. Bullet Star had a right go  and escaped without a red card. This allowed Pennys Chives to get a lucky run and lead from half way after a slow start. Queens Opinion was one paced & moderate in second.

Teddy Cool made all to land the second A7. He moved off at the first bend and gave Georges Girl a shoulder charge and ran out a clear winner. Centaur Elise rode a few bumps and kept on well for second.

Jumokee Prince broke well in the A6, but burrowed across to the rails from his trap 3 draw & put paid to his and those of Match on his inside. Lethal Ruby got a clear run round on the inside and led off the second bend. Clonbrin Mai rode a significant bump at the second bend and came home full of running & led near the line.

The S1 saw a few leaders. first up was Airtech Spur. Daphs Girl took over on the run to the 3rd bend, but faded on the run in. Eye Onthe Jewel kept on and led on the run in. It was not a good race.

Hillcross Silk made all to land the A5. This was impressive, given that he was returning after a 134 day break. Nellies Choice was slow away and bumped on the run up. She bottled it at the first bend, but came home strongly for second.

Adamant Laser made all to land the A4, after running wide at the first bend and riding a bump at the 2nd bend. Kid Joker showed some middle pace and kept on for second. Pinewood King was slow away and was crowded at the 3rd bend and couldn't get on terms.

Beluga cracked out and led early taking a wide path on the run to the first bend in the second A4. So Said He broke close behind and unleashed a real turn of speed to take over from the 3rd bend. He ran out a very decent winner indeed. Beluga kept on well enough for second.

Treacle Rose and Arry Olt had a good battle in the A2, before Arry Olt had a dwell up and they got stuck together. This allowed Journey Back to get a lucky clear run and lead on the run in.  

Marked Away set the early pace in the S2 finale, but did not see out the trip & faded from the last bend. Blues Wish ran on after suffering a bump at the 2nd bend and led from the 5th bend, for a convincing success. Irate Kate was outpaced at the 1st bend, showed some pace going to the 5th bend, but was clumsy & crowded between the last two bends. She kept on for second. The second fav Mimicking Meecha ran wide & slow & faded from the last bend.
