Fatboyz Pacquiao wins The Coral Coronation Cup-3rd Semi Final at Romford
The black dog, Fatboyz Pacquiao, walked away with an iconic victory in the 3rd Semi Final race of The Coral Coronation Cup, last night, January 13, at Romford.
It was an Open Race (Grade OR) of 575m category. The triumphant hound battled against Rathglass Hero, Coolavanny Jane, Bubbly Verdasco, Aero Joker and Razldazl Zamba.
It was an amazing event with the most favourite runner, Coolavanny Jane, finishing third while a novice took the lead.
Fatboyz Pacquiao broke from trap 6, and none of the spectators or the bookies could imagine that the son of Royal Impact would be able to deliver such an impressive performance, but above all the margin, the hound's finish stunned all.
Just after breaking, Fatboyz Pacquiao rushed with sheer pace, outstripping his opponents in a blink of an eye. After taking lead, he did not get relaxed, rather kept increasing his speed continuously.
The back runners were far behind him when R.J. Holloway's trainee reached the finish line. He took 35.76 seconds to cover the distance and that too with a huge margin of 7 ¼ lengths.
The trainer of the victor was himself surprised to watch the way his trainee had accomplished a big success in just the 6th race of his career.
Making his debut in December 16, 2011, the dog won his very first race with a margin of 6 ¾ lengths.
Rathglass Hero managed to gain second position in the race. After breaking from trap 2, the son of Brett Lee was badly baulked, and courtesy of the traffic, lagged the pack.
However, the black hound raised his pace a little in the middle and ran on smoothly till the end.
Consuming 36.34 seconds to reach the finish line, the dog trailed by 7 ¼ lengths. It was for the 3rd time that he ended up with this rank in this category, since his debut in March 2011.
Rathglass Hero’s trainer, N Mcellistrim was not happy with his performance at all. The dog was whelped in August 2008.
With a huge difference of 5 ¼ lengths, Coolavanny Jane, with a starting price of 4/7, achieved third position.
The black b***h was badly crowded first and then baulked, after breaking from trap 3. She crossed the boundary line in 36.76 seconds. K J Findlay’s trainee was whelped in September 2009.
In the end, the 1st cash prize worth £175 was presented to Fatboyz Pacquiao, while each of the other five runners earned £30.
