Colin takes the lead!

On Friday, Moley ran in an A6. Unfortunately she found trouble at the first and 2nd bends but finished well to come 3rd.

Three of us ran on Saturday.

First was Freddie in an A7 but he didn't get out well, then found trouble at the first and last bends. Again though, he ran on well and came 3rd.

Brutus was next (in an A6) but he ran straight up the back of trap 4 on the 2nd bend but again finished well to come 2nd.

That left things to Colin who had been upgraded to A3 (top grade of the night) and so had a lot of good dogs and open race winners in with him, thus starting as 8-1 outsider. As the traps opened though he flew out and powered round the first bend in the lead and gained a 4 length advantage over the rest. On the home straight though he was tiring and trap 1 was finishing strongly behind him. As they crossed the line we all thought that trap 1 had just managed to get there. When they gave the result out though they called him as the winner!!! Looking at the replay we could just see Colin's nose edge over the line first!!

That now takes him to 4 wins, ahead of Moley and Brutus with 3. Freddie and Joani still only have 1 win each.
