Droopys Hester’s spark annihilated all contenders in Coral Champion Stakes heats on Friday
Friday night, The Coral Champion Heats were packed with entertainment and thrill thanks to greyhound Droopys Hester’s Swift performance in heat 4. He was the fastest victor amongst the four six winners of the heats.
In heat 1, trainer Diane Henry’s greyhound Honey Trampas emerged victorious. He broke into a sprint right out of the trap, took the lead of the race and crossed the finish line in 35.40 seconds across the 575m track. Paul Young’s Bubbly Verdasco was way
below the league of Honey Trampas finishing the race eight and a half lengths short of him. Honey Trampas record was the second best in overall heats next to Droopys Hester’s 35.05 seconds.
In the next heat Droopys Luisao had the lead of the race until the fifth bend when trainer Maxine Locke’s greyhound Bridge Diamond Shifted gears and leveled with Droopys Luisao. After that it was nip and tuck between Bridge Diamond and Droopys Luisao all
the way to the finish line where Bridge Diamond won the heat 2 with just a point’s difference from runner up Droopys Luisao.
Colin Callow’s greyhound Longwood days won the heat 3 in 35.50 seconds beating Jazz Apollo by a substantial difference of approximately three lengths. Longwood Days , recent winner of the Sussex Cup, matched up to his expectations in heat 3 when you consider
the difference between the winner and the runner up.
The star of the night was the winner of heat 4 Droopys Hester. Trained by Jimmy Wright, the greyhound made the race a thrilling experience with his shortest record of completing the race in 35.5 seconds. Such was the swiftness of Droopys Hester that Paul
Young’s greyhound Centurion Enry was roughly nine lengths short of him when he qualified for the second position.
Seamus Cahill’s Emperor Leon finished first in heat 5 followed by greyhound Westmead Maldini roughly four lengths short of the winner. The final heat of the evening had greyhound Here You Go as the winning contender beating runner up Local Dee Jay by a mere
half length.
The upcoming finals are filled with expectations for both Droopys Hester and Honey Trampas. Let’s see who takes the cup home.
