SMART SUCCESS FROM THE GENT
RAW NOVICE CASUAL GENT CONFIRMED HIS PROMISE WITH VICTORY IN ONLY HIS SECOND RACE AT MONMORE ON SATURDAY NIGHT. SOMEWHAT UNLUCKY ON DEBUT THE JULY 12 ACE HI RUMBLE WHELP WEIGHT WENT TO TRAPS WITH PLENTY OF EXPECTATION ON HIS SHOULDERS AND DESPITE STARTING POORLY RAN A TERRIFIC RACE TO GET UP IN THE SHADOWS OF THE POST TO JUSTIFY FAVOURITES ODDS OF 6/4 AND WIN THE 'SCOOBY BLUE' TROPHY FOR HIS OWNERS KNOWN ALSO AS THE CASUAL GENTS.
A TWELVE MAN SYNDICATE FORMED ON FACEBOOK FROM ALL OVER BRITAIN ONLY TWO OF THE GENTS MEMBERS WERE ON HAND TO RECIEVE THE TROPHY, KEVIN PERISI (FAR RIGHT) AND STEVE REASON WHO HOLDS OUR GRANDSON TYLER ON THE PODIUM. YOURS TRULY AND KEVIN PERISI HOLD SIGNS TO READ 'BIG SPUD' THE NICKNAME OF SYNDICATE MEMBER ROBERT THOMSONS FATHER WHO PASSED AWAY RECENTLY. BIG SPUD LOVED HIS GREYHOUNDS AND WOULD HAVE BEEN FIRST AT THE TRACK GIVEN THE CHANCE. SPUDS FATHER HANDLED THE 1971 LAURELS WINNER BLACK ANDREW AND THE FAMILY HAVE A LONG HISTORY WITH THE SPORT.
WELL DONE TO ALL INVOLVED AND CASUAL GENT COULD WELL BE WORTH KEEPING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF, HE HAS PLENTY OF ALL ROUND SPEED AND IF HE POLISHES HIS STARTING UP HE COULD GO ON TO BE A VERY NICE DOG INDEED!
