The 480m A2 race held during the afternoon race meeting at the Swindon Greyhound Stadium on Monday 22 November featured many highlights. One of them was a great win from Grillagh Guru,
while the other was a tie for second place.
Starting from trap three, Grillagh Guru (11-4) led fourth, and would later parlay that lead into a win, finishing the race with a time of 29.25. After going wide, Petite Snowei (4-1) led
second to fourth. She placed second in 29.39, which was 1¾ lengths behind the winner.
Bua Dubh (9-1) tied Petite Snowei for second place with a matching time of 29.39. He went wide and moved slowly away, but quickly bounced back to finish in a dead heat tie. The tie placed
Lisnakill Myles (7-2) in the fourth position. He led to second, but could not propel himself into the top three. He finished in 29.47, 1 length behind the joint second-place finishers.
Avit was the 9-4 favourite in this race, but he dropped to fifth place after crowding first. He went on to complete the race in 29.51, a ½ length out of fourth place. Rounding out the
pack was Cefn Cariad (4-1). She crowded first and second and finished 1 ¾ lengths behind Avit in 29.65.
Swift Euro, the 7-4 favourite in the 480m A3 race that followed, went wide from trap six, but always led the pack. As a result, he lay claim on the top spot with no trouble at all, finishing
in 29.36. Molly The Second (5-1) lived up to her name by finishing in second place. A clear run led her to a 29.48 finish that was 1½ lengths behind the winner.
Kilmore Celtic (7-2) had a decent start, running on to complete the race in 29.74 to lock up third place. A distance of 3¼ lengths separated him from second place. Fourth place belonged
to Sirmoffchopinton (4-1). Despite a clear run, he failed to crack the top three. He finished in 29.84, 1¼ lengths behind third place.
Last Show (7-1) moved very slowly away from the pack after going wide. She would go on to post a time of 29.94 that gave her fifth place. He was 1¼ lengths behind Sirmoffchopinton. Rounding
out the pack was Crinkill King (9-1), who took last place after moving slowly away. His finishing time of 30.00 placed him ¾ lengths out of fifth place.
