Cookes my Mate and Salacres Sparky were the joint favourites to win the race, but both failed to make an impression in the race.
The race winning b***h went into the race from trap number five, and she was sent off as the 5 to 2 choice. She covered the total distance in 34.42 seconds. Her trainer E Mason would have been delighted with the outcome.
Goosetree Flash is the daughter of Goosetree Billy out of Rutland Lilly, and was born in June, 2009.
The second place was taken by Swift Adriano, who was one of the least favourite dogs to win the race. However, he surprised one and all with a brisk run and finished the race in 34.46 seconds. He was 0.04 seconds apart from the winning b***h.

Cookes my Mate, who had started the race as a joint favourite, wound down in third place. He had a starting price of 2 to 1, and went into the race from trap number one. The P A Cooke trained hound covered the entire distance in 34.58 seconds.
The third placed dog is the son of Kiowa Sweet Trey out of I Dont Clare, and was born in August, 2009.
Fourth place went to Salacres Sparky, who was expected to be fighting at the top. He had a starting price of 2 to 1, and broke in the race from trap number two. However, he only managed to finish the race in 34.76 seconds, which was 0.34 seconds adrift
of the winner.
