Regal Chic leads the way to A1 victory at Romford
The 400m greyhound races at Coral Romford Greyhound Stadium always feature exciting competitions to see who can claim the elusive top spot. Regal Chic was one of the lucky first-place
finishers in the first of two action-packed A1 races.
Regal Chic (7-1) had a great start from trap three, moving quickly away from the pack and holding the lead to win the race with a time of 24.61. Duleek Dazzler, the 9-4 favourite in this
race, went wide, and held every chance to win. She ended up in second place, 1 length behind the winner in 24.69.
Laying claim on third place was Bonville Johnny (3-1). He moved slowly away and went wide, but ran on to finish 1¾ lengths out of second place in 24.83. Nats Delight (4-1) took fourth
place after moving slowly away. Despite being forced to check at the quarter mark, she finished a neck’s length out of the top three in 24.85.
Fifth-place finisher Show Silver (7-2) held an early pace, but went on to finish lame with a time of 24.88, which was a neck behind fourth place. Wrap Her Up (5-1) wrapped up this race
in last place. Despite an early pace, she was forced to check the quarter mark, resulting in a loss of 3½ lengths and finishing time of 25.16
Rebel Minds (3-1) had victory on his mind in the second A1 race of the afternoon, and the victory eventually came to him as he placed first with a time of 24.40. He held an early pace
from trap two, but bumped and led first to second. Finishing the race 1¼ lengths behind him was Danrich Lily (4-1), who took second place. She moved quickly away, but bumped first en route to a 24.50 finish.
Droopys Ascot, the 9-4 favourite, moved slowly away, but rebounded to hold an early pace. He later went wide and led second to fourth to finish in third place by a shoulder, matching the
second-place time of 24.50. Regal Warden (7-1) lost four lengths after baulking first, and went on to finish in 24.82.
Astral Bound’s (4-1) early pace was halted slightly after he bumped first. He completed the race in 24.96, which was 1¾ lengths behind Regal Warden. Rounding out the pack was Rocky Bay
Blue, who finished in the sixth position. He moved slowly away and checked the run up to finish lame with a time of 27.36.
The next race meeting at Coral Romford Greyhound Stadium will be held on Friday, 5 November. The first race of the evening gets under way at 19:30.
