Aint Misbehaving wins Grade A2 450m race at Oxford
The brindle and white dog, Aint Misbehaving, marvellously managed to win a Grade A2 race of 450m category at Oxford on 15 January, 2012.
The victor had to compete against Pickles Found It, Ballyhoe Bertie, Placepot Mick, Geneva Jay Jay and Express Shock.
By demonstrating excellent stamina, Aint Misbehaving wrested the victory with a margin of 2 ¼ lengths from the hound, who was a joint favourite for the event.
The son of Westmead Hawk broke from trap 2 when the break call came at 15:53.
Right from the outset, he seemed to be packed with form, running aggressively and taking the lead within a few seconds. After excelling, he did not let any of his opponents come close to him throughout the race.
The dog demonstrated smooth and clean run throughout the time, and reached the boundary line in 26.98 seconds.
It was for the second time in his career that he came first. Whelped in September 2009, the dashing runner made his debut on November 3, 2011.
Aint Misbehaving’s trainer, T Atkins, was pleased with the excellent winning streak of his dog, hoping that he will have a promising career ahead, provided he continues displaying similar kind of performances in the long run.
At the end of the race, the winning hound walked away with the 1st cash prize worth £65.
The second position in the race went to Pickles Found It. The black dog was a joint favourite with starting price of 3 to 1.
After breaking from trap 3, he ran on swiftly except on a few occasion where he tried to get a little offensive. Despite drawing nearer for at least three times, he could not catch Aint Misbehaving.
Finally, the son of Burnpark Champ bridged the distance in 27.17 seconds, trailing by 2 ¼ lengths. It was the hound’s 9th race, who made his debut in October, 2011.
Whelped in June 2010, he ended up with this rank for the second time in his career.
The maverick runner is trained by R.A. Baker, who wants him to perk up his strength and win the upcoming events instead of finishing second or third.
Ballyhoe Bertie accomplished third spot in the race by reaching the finish line in 27.33 seconds.
He lagged by 2 lengths behind Pickles Found It. Breaking from trap 6, the black dog ran clearly, but did not bother to tighten the screws when it came to the front runners.
The trainee of M H Massey was the most experienced hound of the race. He started his career in June 2009. The son of Droopys Maldini was whelped in July 2007.
Each one of the runners except the topper earned £25.
