The Jim Wragg Trophy Final
Sheffield. Droopys Sporty saw his track record from the
Semi-Finals smashed as Tinrah Lad made all in 43.04. Droopys
Sporty, for local trainer

Leger winner Greenacre Lin was 3rd for
Brian Celemenson. |

Pre-Awards Gala Night at
Walthamstow. Despite some of his stronger fancies being beaten,
namely Lethal Rumble, Special Deal and Fear Whitesox, it was
still a good night for Mark
Wallis as he landed 4 races on the card, 3 of them Opens.
Sol Late Late took Division I of the Arc Trials by a neck from
Kindred Rebel, Moscow Sandy took Div IV and Black Bower sealed
the Open race hat-trick (Bert Mills 90th Birthday Stakes) whilst
Vigorous Whitney landed the opening A4 contest. |

Pre-Awards Gala Night at
Walthamstow. Paul Garland
had a night to remember as his improving hurdler Ballymac Ron
took the £1,000 Mark Wallis/Imperial Kennels Champion Trainer
2005 Stakes. Despite stumbling badly at the second hurdle he
made all to deny Mustang Hero by 1/2 length at odds of 10/1.
Vancouver Sparky, nominated as a dog to follow in 2006 by
Garland, landed the Div II Arc Trial by a comfortable length
from Goodwood Cup winner Abbot Pete. |

Walthamstow. Milldean Billy
initiated a double on the card for
Seamus Cahill with an
awesome front-running performance to deny Clonbrin Owl by 4
lengths in The Neeliz Adik Hamburger Eating Stakes. His time of
28.78 was fastest of the night. Snazzy Rover, nominated by his
trainer as one to follow in 2006 (see Trainer Interviews) ran a
blinder to lead early from Fear Whitesox and held on by a length
from the running on Kelleroo in the £1,000 Mim's Little Girl
Stakes in 29.11. |
|
21st Jan 06 |

Brian Clemenson's Glengar
Leader is also through after taking
2nd in Heat I. Lady Minstral, Soviet Isis, and Alabama Star were
the other qualifiers. |

William Hill Gold Cup Semis. Honcho
Away was a shock winner at 16/1 in the opening Heats on Saturday
and he follows up in a very eventful Semi-Final at the same odds!
With trouble galore between all the principles it was the
Paul Young runner who came
late and fast to collar Rhincrew Stevie on the line with
Mark Wallis's Roswell
Spaceman qualifying in 3rd. Bat On, Ballymac Rooster and Zigzag
Kit all out of the competition. |
|
18th Jan 06 |

The Jim Wragg Stayers Trophy
opening Heats got under way at Sheffield and
Barrie Draper's Droopys
Sporty breaks the track record when winning Heat 2 in 43.28 by 9
3/4 lengths from kennelmate Dukeries Fern. The eagerly
anticipated clash between Greenacre Lin and Blackmagic Guy in
Heat 1 never materialised as the last hit the rails at the 3rd.
Greenacre Lin went on to record a comfortable win for
Brian Clemenson,
making all in 43.65. Alchemist Reward takes Heat 3 for
Jane Houfton in 43.70. |

form at Walthamstow as Barnarhu Rasher, Ivys Pride and Ronnies
Zara win. |
|

Ray Peacock will come
away happy after seeing Serenpidity Dog (28.78), Polo Spirit
(also 28.78) and Tally Ho Rocket (29.06) win 3 of the trials on
offer. Kaysers Hill was having his last run for
Pat Rosney after being
sold to new owners and he claimed his trial in mightily
impressive fashion by beating Polo Wood 5 lengths in a very fast
28.34. |

Away was a shock 16/1 winner of Heat 2 with a fine front-running
performance at Sunderland to make the long journey north well
worthwhile for Paul Young.
Mark Wallis's Roswell
Spaceman also through but Fear Assassin and Sol Late Late both
out. Ballymac Rooster makes a welcome return to action for
Carly Philpott
and justifies 11/10 favouritism to take Heat 3 by 3 lengths. |
