DOUBLE TREBLE WITH THE PEBBLE

 

WHEN LONGWOOD PEBBLE (3/1) WON THE 5.47 AT MONMORE THIS EVENING IT WAS NOT ONLY THE FINAL LEG OF A 139/1 BAGS TREBLE FOR THE KENNEL,  IT WAS ALSO THE FINAL LEG OF A TREBLE ON THE DAY FOR RUNNERS WITH THE LONGWOOD PREFIX AND MY GREAT PAL OWNER TRAINER COLIN CALLOW.

EARLIER HIS LONGWOODS WARRIOR AND BOUND HAD WON THEIR RESPECTIVE SEMI-FINALS OF THE PINPOINT ARC AT SWINDON SO PEBBLES WIN (ALTHOUGH NOT QUITE AS ILLUSTRIOUS) JUST ABOUT PUT THE ICING ON THE CAKE FOR THE SHIFNAL HANDLER. COLIN HAS PUT ALOT OF TIME, EFFORT AND MONEY INTO THE SPORT AND HAS A CRACKING LITTLE FAMILY TEAM THAT ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT THEIR GREYHOUNDS.  WE WISH HIM ALL THE LUCK FOR THE FINAL!!

WE AT LILYPAD RACING WERE JUST AS THRILLED WITH ALL OUR VICTORS, THE OTHER SCORERS BEING FARLOE CORLEONE (6/1) AND STEVE WARNERS FARLEY GENE (3/1) WHO LANDED HIS A5 IN TRAP-TO-LINE FASHION. BOTH GENE AND CORLEONE HAD BEEN KNOCKING ON THE DOOR IN RECENT WEEKS AND WHILE IT WASN'T ALTOGETHER EXPECTED IT WAS STILL NICE TO SEE THEM GET THEIR JUST DESERTS.
