Redcar Races

An eight race card, made it a long day. Only one of the winners was favourite.

The 2:20 had two non-runners. Angel Palanas, the favourite led from the start with the rest chasing. Jorvik Prince was held up by Sam James, two furlongs out he started to make headway along with Dusty Bin. One furlong out Jorvik Price started to hang badly to the left keeping on at the same pace but Dusty Bin took the lead, passing Angel Palanas who kept on  at the same pace. Dusty Bin, trained by Kevin Ryan won by 2 1/4 lengths. Kevin Ryan had 2 winners at this meeting and a third.

In the 3:25 Miningrocks, from a poor draw, took a keen hold, quickly being switched to the left rail. Ger O'Neill kept extending the distance between himself and Ronya, ridden by Dale Swift, who gave chase. Over three furlongs out Devious Spirit, who had been in mid division, had a change of pace moving up the field. With one furlong to go Ronya found something extra that Miningrocks and Devious Spirit lacked. Ronya beat Devious Spirit who finished second by 1 3/4 lengths and Miningrocks by 4 1/2 lengths. These three horses were well clear of the rest of the field.
This was a selling stake. The winner, Ronya, was auctioned but not claimed. Devious Spirit was claimed by Iain Jardine for £6000.

I'm not sure when my next update will be but I will keep my twitter updated.
