Rico Raid at Kinsley

We made a rare trip to Kinsley on Sunday as they had put on a cracking Sunday card with some very competitive opens.

Afan Rico recorded his first open race victory from owner Steve Howard when he took the @Kinsley Dogs Puppy Trophy. He had to concede the early lead to kennel mate Sids Ninja and Young Golden but Rico forced his way to the front coming out of the second bend and then sprint clear to win by 1 1/2 lengths in 28.11. If this son of Dukes Special can find a bit more early toe which should come with experience he could be very useful at distances around this trip.
