Sky springs Gold Cup surprise as Sidelight stars in Stayers

Some very scrappy races at Monmore this afternoon in the Ladbrokes Gold Cup Festival which us ending up with a representative in each of the Finals.

The first Gold Cup Semi Final was just bedlam ! Severe crowding on the rails ended all chances of Daddy Knowsbest and Strategic Choice whilst 33/1 chance Lightning Sky (pictured) took advantage to take it up on the run in after further crowding to win by a head in 29.06. In the third Semi Final Express Giant ran a massive race behind Lemon Pluto in 28.89 to reach a major Final.

The Puppy competition proved our depth in the kennel when Corley Gary, only recently sold off the website for a bargain price, instantly repaid his owners faith by taking Heat 1 in 29.00. I do love it when owners get this sort of instant return.

The 416 competition we will have two winners in the Final despite not having a heat winner. Phoenix Bolt finished third in heat 1 in 24.88 and Cape Impact finished 2nd in Heat 2 in 24.80.

In the 630 Stayers event the ever improving Sidelight proved once again his standing as one of our kennel stars as he romped to 6 1/2 length win over kennel mate Boherna Bridge in 37.88. Afew Dollarsmore and Goa Girl both suffered trouble in running. 

Farloe Calamity, who is looking for a new owner or 4 syndicate shares available, finished second in 38.57. If she was to win on Friday any new owner who get her for nothing ! Why not get involved and give me a call tonight.
