Onto Saturday and it was going to be a tough job to beat Fridays treble. To come away with 5 winners though was better than any of us could have imagined. First up Salacres Sophia was scoring for the second week in succession. Sophia had won A3 the previous week at a big 8/1. Given another chance in the grade she won well but it must be noted she did have the advantage of a vacant trap next to her in 5. The treble wouldn't be out of the question if left in the same grade. Grey Warrior was off for a couple of months over winter. He won well towards the end of January and won again in A3 on Saturday. Good to have him back. We were represented in the D2 sprint by 2 pups whom I rate highly. Empire and Mystery are brother and sister from our aforementioned Zero Ten x Salacres Gem litter. I expect both of these pups to be competing in better races in a few months time. They need experience though and these races are a starting point. Empire had ran well when posting 18:00 calculated over the sprint trip in a trial recently and she franked that line of form when winning this race well at odds of 4/6. Very short odds i'd say but she won so I guess the bookmakers got it right. Mystery finished down the field but don't be taking this dog out of your notebooks just yet , he can run and it's a matter of time before he shows it. Salacreshandsome made it 4 winners when taking his A7. Even Stevie Wonder would have seen that this dog was a winner waiting to happen in this grade. A slow starter , a little inexperienced when trying to pass , but game and genuine and was obviously going to win a fair way when he finally got a clear run. That clear run came on Saturday night as Handsome ran away with his A7 by 6 1/4 lenghts. Hopefully he's not too harshly treated for that run as he's sure to find life more difficult when moving up in grade. To be fair to the racing office team at Notts they're generally very fair with pups and do try to give them a chance. Our final winner on the night was Salacres Costa. Down in grade to A3 he managed to overcome a poor draw out in six to win by just over a couple of lengths. Costa , as with Sophia , is from our older Kiowa Sweet Trey x Salacres Gem litter so it really was a good week for the family.
