Photos straight from the Blue Riband Final

Friend of the kennel Dave Yanez was quick out the traps after last nights Final to kindly send us photographs of our fantastic night at Hall Green where Express Shuttle took the 2011 running of the Betfair Blue Riband. The pictures really tell the story of the race. Shuttle failed to trap as he can and was half a length down going into the first corner. He simply ran the bend to perfection and when Westmead Guru opened the door on the second bend Shuttle simply burst clear to steal the race to record a 28.42 victory by 3 3/4 lengths. I'd like to thank all the syndicate who bought this dog off our sale page, it just shows dreams can come true. Finally it great to have such great support from the staff who have worked so hard with the dog. Well done everyone. I'll post an report on the other races later in the evening.(Photo source - davidyanez@mac.com)
