MYSTERIO DIGS DEEP FOR VICTORY
SANDRA O SULLIVAN AND ALAN BRANDOMS FARLOE MYSTERIO (T6) HAD TO DIG VERY DEEP TO PREVAIL IN LAST NIGHTS TOP GRADE STAYING EVENT AT MONMORE. IN RECENT MONTHS YOURS TRULYS HAD NOTICED A DEFINATE DETERIATION IN THE NUMBER OF GREYHOUNDS LEADING FROM TRAPS OVER THE 630 DISTANCE, I CAN RECALL ONLY TWO LEADING FROM TRAP RISE! IN THE PAST TRAP SIX WAS A REALLY GOOD BREAKING BOX AND FARLOE MYSTERIO, WHO NEEDS TO LEAD EARLY TO WIN OVER SIX BENDS WAS A VERY GOOD STARTER. HOWEVER HE HAS ONLY MANAGED TO LEAD OUT OF THE SECOND BEND JUST ONCE IN HALF A DOZEN ATTEMPTS LEADING ONE TO PONDER IF THERE HASN'T BEEN SOME ADJUSTMENT OR REALIGNMENT TO THE TRAPS OVER THE FAR SIDE?
IN ANY CASE LAST NIGHT HE LED OFF THE FOURTH BEND WITH HEADLEYS LARK CUTTING OUT THE EARLY RUNNING. MYSTERIO OVERCAME RENEWED CHALLENGERS AND CROWDING AT THE FIFTH BEND TO LEAD OFF THE LAST AND REPEL THE LATE EFFORT OF MORDRED SAUL BY THE MINMUM DISTANCE. IT WAS A VERY BRAVE EFFORT BY THE DOG WHO IS SOON TO REACH VETERAN STATUS BUT CONTINUES IN GOOD HEART FOLLOWING UP ON HIS CREDITABLE SECOND TO GUINESS SPARKY AT HOVE LAST WEEK OVER FOUR BENDS.
