Three progress in All England Cup

It was a top class card at Newcastle last night as they staged the first round of the WilliamHill.com All England Cup and the Northern Puppy Derby.


In the All England Cup Freds Champ lead all the way in Heat 1 to run out an impressive winner in 28.59. The winning margin of six lengths will mark him down as a serious contender given the right draw. Bolt Ya Rocket got the valuable third place in Heat three to progress to the Semi Final stage.  In the final heat of the evening was Ballymac Ace. Ace was up against old rival Blue Artisan. Artisan showed the most early pace which enabled him to build a lead Ace just couldn't pull back on this occasion. Ace finished a good second in 28.64


In the Northern Puppy Derby Ballymac Park progressed after finishing third in Heat 4 in 28.96. I'm confident he can improve on this performance. Maireads Hawk was the disappointment of the evening as he only finished 5th after checking on the first bend.
