Spaceman Lee, 9 to 2 betting favourite, upsets Lewcas Lightning in 500m Grade A2 Heat at Nottingham on Jan 10
The excitement continues at Nottingham, as Spaceman Lee, trained by M T Munslow, won the 500 meter long Grade A2 Heat on Tuesday, January 10, 2012.
With the odds of 9 to 2, the son of Droopys Maldini out of Westferry Bantis, was not the favourite to grab the cash prize. However, he ran superbly and scooped the award of £120 by covering the distance in 30.63 seconds.
The hound started off the heat from trap number four, and took an early lead. He sustained his advantage throughout, and crossed the wire well ahead of the other participants.
The champ outclassed Lewcas Lightning – the favourite dog with the starting price of 2 to 1. The kid of Westmead Hawk out of Teddy Hoe, stepped out on the track from the stall number six, and made a good early impression. However, A J Grewcock’s trainee
could not perpetuate his good work, and finished second.
He clocked the area in 30.75 seconds, which was a touch disappointing for his fans.
The top two hounds were followed by, Fabulous Promise – the b***h trained by A D Stevens. The daughter of Head Bound out of Fabulous Charm wrapped up the party in 30.79 seconds, and finished third in the list. She was sent off with the odds of 5 to
1, as the b***h broke out of the first stand in the row.
Slick Socks, the daughter of Tyrur Ted out of Kays Jewel, secured fourth position with the covering time of 30.91 seconds. The black b***h was enjoying the odds of 9 to 4, and commenced the show from the third stand. Her trainer, A J Grewcock, would
have wanted her to end up among the top-3, but the luck didn’t favour the b***h.
The last two places on the chart were sealed by, Summerfield Fire, and, Business Fantasy, respectively. With the odds of 10 to 1, the fourth position hound touched the ultimate point in 31.03 seconds.
The Back Marker, Business Fantasy, completed his job in 31.25 seconds, and her starting price was 6 to 1.
After finishing sixth in the previous outing, it was really an impressive show by Spaceman Lee. With the triumph, the dog has definitely increased his value, and the bettors are likely to put a lot of money on him in the imminent races.
