Cluxtons Free / Strategic Review
Smart Bid
Superb work from all the team at Henlow last night, where all three of our runners qualified for next weeks Derby Final.
Smart Bid was as usual very brave when taking second place in the first Semi Final. After being outpaced to the corner, Smart Bid took advantage of a gap on the running rail to force his way through to move into a clear second behind Thinking Big. Whilst he couldn't close the gap on the early leader he still fight off the closing pack behind including Farloe Warhawk. The clock stopping at 27.76.
With both Cluxtons Free and Strategic Review still very much on the come back trail we couldn't be confident in whether the dogs would run as well again. Cluxtons Free had a very easy week on the build up but impressed in a gallop on Friday morning.
As the traps rose Cluxtons Free missed the early kick and was out trapped by Benkaat Blue. However approaching the winning post for the first time Cluxtons showed an out of this world turn of pace to burst from last to first and actually go round the first bend in front. As Cluxtons Free took hold of the race, Strategic Review out battled the rest of the field to get clear in second place and then to chase Cluxtons. Review rallied all the way to the line and got with 1/2 length of Cluxtons in 27.73.
