Rico goes for a Kentucky

Afan Rico rewarded his owners with a great win in the Old Kentucky Puppy Prize Final at Coventry last night at the rewarding odds of 12/1 and take the £1,000 prize.

Rico was quickly into front and was clear of the first bend trouble which held up the favourite and also kennel mates Blue Ninja, Sids Ninja and Rathanny Ruth. Rico showed some great back straight on pace and then had to fight off the last challenge of Aines Marx to win by a head in 27.26.
