B. Draper’s pair dominating Ladbrokes Scottish Derby 2013 Heat 1
Months of wait comes to an end. Time has come for one of the biggest entertainments of the season, as Ladbrokes Scottish Derby 2013 begins at Shawfield on Saturday, April 27, 2013. A long list of powerful hounds will be seen in the first round, and some
real drama is expected.
The opening heat is particularly exciting. Among the contenders are: Ballymac Eske, Eden Star, Teejays Bluehawk, Calzaghe Jack, Rokka Lucy, and Greenwell Thor. The contest will be kicked off at 20:34 GMT. The winner will earn a place in the next round as
well as a prize of 150 pounds.
All the six contestants are mighty dangerous, but the real competition is only between B. Draper’s pair; Eden Star and Ballymac Eske. Both dogs are mighty talented, and a thrilling contest is expected.
Our vote goes to Ballymac Eske, who looks simply awesome in full flight and can master kennelmate. The fawn dog was superb in his previous appearance last month, when beating Jaytee Hellcat by seven and a quarter lengths.
The September-10 hound did not relax after an amazing performance, and continued the hard work. He recently made three wonderful solo outings, showing great momentum. Confidence is high, and there is no reason why he should not bag the first prize.
Wearing red jacket, Eden Star is likely to chase the kennelmate home. The black and white suffered a shock defeat in the Trial Stake, but one should not judge him on that. Just have a look at his CV in 2011.
The son of Top Savings also gained good rhythm by making a few nice solo rides lately. All he needs is to take advantage of the first trap. Otherwise, he might find his kennelmate going too far away.
Teejays Bluehawk comes home well, but B. Draper’s duo is unlikely to give him any chance whatsoever. Calzaghe Jack is going the right way, in with the big boys now. Greenwell Thor warmed up for the event with a bold win over T1, but a repeat is unlikely.
Rokka Lucy pitched in at the deep end on his debut. It is hard to expect him to make a winning move.
