Swift Adriano a hopeful entry for The Bookmakers Midi at Henlow
The Bookmakers Midi is to be held on Thursday, 1st March at Henlow over 550 metres flat. The prize money for the race is £150 and will be presented to the hound who gets successful in reaching the other end of the wire the fastest.
The race will see Swift Adriano, Ballymac William, Pantone Ava, Misty Blue, Altamount Ken and Boxie reeling in for the wire.
Swift Adriano, Kinloch Brae’s two-year-old black son out of b***h Swift Bluebay, stepped into the 2012 season on 8th January in which he ended second. The first three races of the season resulted in second positions.
He was second in the New Year 545 Maiden on 8th January at Mildenhall. The winner of the race, Goosetree Flash went through the distance in 34.42 seconds while Swift Adriano took 34.46 seconds to reach the other end of the wire.
Both the joint favourites of the race, Cookes My Mate and Salacres Sparky were positioned third and fourth in the race.
On 15th January, he was second in the January 545 Maiden – DUP at Mildenhall by taking 34.58 seconds to race through the wire while the winner Smooth Nation was across it in 34.08 seconds while in lead of a staggering 6 ¼ lengths.
The 6/4 favourite of the race, Blackrose Bullet finished the race in the end.
Swift Adriano was seven lengths adrift from the winner, Lady Im Flying, in the third start of the season. The winner raced through the 540 metres distance in 34.24 seconds at Crayford on 21st January.
Eventually Swift Adriano won the Peter Bussey Memorial Trophy Trial Stake on 4th February at Crayford. He clocked the 540 metres distance in 34.67 seconds while leading by 1 ¾ lengths. Boo Boos Bella was the runner up while Airforce Stacey concluded
the race third in line after the winner.
The evening’s favourite, Bubbly Olly finished the race second last on a field of six hounds competing.
His last start had him finishing third.
That third position should not hamper his performance today which will mark as his chance to record the second victory of the season through his sixth outing.
