The 3/1 ideal of the show was welcomed for his victory chase through trap 5, chasing the lure with immense perfection, he got himself at the leading position.
Covering the 462 meters distance, the show stopper remained prominent throughout the race among the other five contenders.
The four-year-old black hound covered his required distance in 27.89 seconds superbly.
Defeating the 65th East Anglian Derby's 2nd Round's Heat 2 winner, Romeo Reason, by 4 lengths, was an accomplishment, a great feat, for Yahoo Jamie.
Although the three-year-old Romeo Reason kept on streaming with a healthy pace, this time he should have come up with swift tactics to compete against the victor.
The white and brindle dog crossed the wire in 28.20 seconds for trainer E Mcnair.
Finishing second in the Heats, Holycross Prince managed to place himself in the finals, but that was not enough.

C Allsopp would have been expecting double treats in the show, but unfortunately his hounds, Britton Empire and Fifis Rocket, finished fourth and fifth in the 1st semi-final.
Despite the fact that Fifis Rocket was the purse winner in the Heats with an outclass clocking, this time the situation became a hassle for him.
