Our final bow for October ended in good style with probably
three of the most impressive and emphatic victories of the day. All of whom are
likely to be of equal interest next time out if they are campaigned on the AWT
in the coming months.
Selection Tayma (2-1) 4:25 Wolverhampton needed no more than
hands and heels to take the opener providing yet another All Weather win for Saeed
bin Suroor. Set The Trend was given far too much to do under George Downing who
came from the back of the pack to close all the way to the line but finished
out of the frame.
Selection Naoise (11-4) 4:55 Wolverhampton was pulling Jacob
Butterfields arms out of the sockets for most of the 1m 141yds trip. Naoise ranged alongside our second selection in the race Cherry Street (33-1) in the straight and although my pocket would have much preferred the latter to prevail, there was never a fleeting moment of thought that it would be the case as Naoise cruised by with Cherry Street booked for second. Pim Street, who just failed to land the money for us 3 days ago, once again finished well taking fourth after being tail-end Charlie turning for home.
2 points selection Billyoakes (7-1) 5:55 Wolverhampton came
from last to first to win going away under Charles Bishop which came as no
surprise. Unlike its SP as it appeared friendless in the market. The only
moment of doubt came when Charles Bishop became torn between driving Billyoakes
through rivals or to switch wide. Finally opting for the latter was a wise
choice in the opinion of this armchair jockey ;)
We now have a couple of days to count and recount ourOctober winnings with gleeful faces before Monday afternoon’s meeting at
Wolverhampton gets November under-way.
