Ballycowen and Fifis star in front of cameras

Ballycowen Dave recorded our first major win of 2012 when he took the John Smiths Kent Derby. Dave who had never won an open race before this campaign in the south east has just really took to the track. The Roly Woodcock owned son of Daves Mentor simply pinged from traps and was never headed in the £7,500 contest. 

There was terrible trouble on the first which Westead Adonis in which he suffered a shocking injury which did take the edge of the celebrations. We have suffered more than most this years with injuries and I'm sure the Sava team will bounce back just like we have had to do. Dave stopped the clock at 29.01. Rusheen Major battled hard in behind to take a valued third place.

Fifis Legend had earlier caught the eye when taking the dog races over 480 metres. Legend stayed on very sweetly to win by 1/2 length in 28.94.
