Glideaway Ace displays potential for grabbing the Sis Live Open 525 Final on 23rd February
Shelbourne Park will become home for Sis Live Open 525 Final on Thursday, 23rd February. The winner will get awarded with the €1,000 prize money.
One of the most promising entries is Glideaway Ace, Ace Hi Rumble’s three-year-old black son out of b***h Darkies Fergus, has only made two outings during the 2012 season. On 31st January, Glideaway Ace did not race.
His second start was on 16th February in the Sis Live Open 525 Semi-Final at Shelbourne Park. Under training P. Cronin, Glideaway Ace clocked the 525 yards distance in 28.64 seconds and only had a shoulder’s margin from the runner up of the race,
Danmar Benny, who was reeling in for the wire.
The evening’s favourite, Jacobs Courage, finished the race in the end.
The three-year-old has only been given two chances, one of which he could not even truly exploit and the other he grabbed right away which reflects that given another opportunity, Glideaway Ace will not disappoint his connections.
The two-year-old Courtlough Rio, Droopys Vieri’s white and blue son out of b***h Fois Gras, has only raced once during the 2012 season. However, Courtlough Rio made the most out of it and credited the race as his seasonal debut victory against his name.
He won the Sis Live Open 525 Semi-Final on 16th February at Shelbourne Park over 525 yards. He raced through the distance in 28.89 seconds, leading by 3 ½ lengths. His success got him the €1, 000 prize money.
Spider Man the 6/4 favourite of the race, finished third in line after the winner.
Yet another capable entry who has sustained her performance during the two starts of the new season is Black Hall Pearl, Hallucinate’s five-year-old black daughter out of b***h Carrigeen Leonie.
She was second in the Grade A1 Shelbourne A1 550 on 5th January against Tyrur Lanney who clocked the distance in 30.26 seconds. The 6/4 favourite of the race, Tolerton Crasher, finished fourth behind the winner.
In Black Hall Pearl’s next attempt on 16th February, she was second under contention with Courtlough Rio, who was on the other side of the wire before any of the rest could make it.
Courtlough Rio and Black Hall Green have raced together before, what changes get incorporated after today’s race, will not take long to unfold.
