Headleys mentor got the job done last night in the first round of the Nora Kelly sweepstake in Tralee he had dropped down a couple of grades for his recent run.
I quietly fancied him on the night but his lack of recent work and the freezing cold night was a slight cause for concern,temperatures dipped to -4 during racing and it was a credit to the track management that they ran off the races in double quick time.
Anyhow i need not have worried as he was foot perfect on the night flashing out of trap 6 and running a real good 2 bends leading by 4 lengths or so rounding the last bend his stride was shortening but he held on readily enough to win in 29.09,the track was later rated 30 slow so an estimated run of 28.79
He will be a strip fitter for the run and the slight stress cough he has this morning will pass quickley
All in all a good nights work and a perfect start to 2011 for the kennel and we collect a few bob off the bookies to boot
