Scarty Lad’s son won the Grade A5 William Hill – The Home Of Betting Stakes on 20th December, 2012 at Sunderland over 450 metres. The two-year-old broke from the third trap and leading the run up, made it to the other end of the wire in 29.31
seconds.
Settling second after missing the winning mark by ¾ of a length was the fourth stall, Moneygall Fury.
The most recent attempt of Scarty Brandon was in the Grade A5 William Hill – The Home Of Betting Stakes on 27th December, 2012 at Sunderland over 450 metres.
The two-year-old out of, Claires Yaris, once again raced in the white jacket of the third trap and was left adrift by three lengths. The failure was attributed to the cluster that he got stuck in when racing the second bend of the track.
The race was won by the favourite entry, Tullymurry West, who completed the trip in 28.78 seconds.
The 9 to 4 shot for the race tonight is, Witton Knight.
He has ended fifth in the last two tries and last won in the Grade A5 Williamhill.com Stakes on 14th December, 2012 at Sunderland over 450 metres.
Leading right in the first bend, the fifth stall and the joint favourite for the race made it to the other end of the wire in 28.85 seconds.
He defeated Tullymurry Virgo by good 7 ½ lengths.
The last trap should help in saving the ground an also avoiding the crowing, bumping and clusters.
