Hound Dog delighted his connections after a thumping win in the Grade OR New Year 375 meter race
The Grade OR New Year 345 meter long race was won by, Hound Dog, at Mildenhall on Sunday, January 8, 2012. The prize money for the winning hound was £150.
Hound Dog entered the race from trap number five, and had to be quick right from the start in order win the race. He ran very well and covered the total distance in 23.41 seconds. He was trained by P A Cooke, who would have been delighted with the
outcome of the race.
The winning hound had a starting price of 3 to 1. He is the son of Knockabout Wok out of Elisa Jane, and was born in November, 2008.
M T Newman trained b***h, Creamery Dream, finished the race in second place, after breaking from trap number two. She had a very good run, and gave a tough time to the winning dog.
Creamery Dream’s finishing time was 23.48 seconds, just 0.07 seconds adrift of Hound Dog. Her starting price was 3 to 1. She was the youngest hound amongst all, and was born in September, 2009 to Droopys Scolari out of Creamery Mist.
Belvedere Flyer ended up third in the race. He was the favourite dog with a starting price of 7 to 4. However, he failed to live up to his reputation, and clocked a time of 23.53 seconds, which was 0.12 seconds adrift of the winner.
D H Brighton, who was the trainer of Belvedere Flyer, would have been terribly disappointed with the result. His dog, who started from trap number one, is the son of Ballymac Maeve out of Sue Lee and was born in November, 2009.
Cals Impact took the fourth position in the race. He was sent off at 6 to 1, and was the least favourite to win. His finishing time was 23.62 seconds, after breaking into the race from trap number six.
Cals Impact is the son of Droopys Vieri out of Cals Tonic, and was born in December, 2008. He was trained by C G Finch.
Rathanny Kate completed the order of finish, as she failed to complete the race distance. The b***h, trained by P H Harnden, had a starting price of 5 to 2, and went into the race from trap number three. She is the daughter of Split The Bill out of
Lizzie Fitz, and was born in March, 2007.
The overall race was a good one for the spectators, as the distance between the top three runners was not much at the end.
