Dear Romford Owners Association – you might as well give the Bitch of the Year award to Chopchop Hope now.

Yvonne Gaskin’s bitch made it 10 wins from 16 races (4 seconds) when switching to two bends to land a heat of a 225m competition in 13.27. She beat track record holder Walk The Talk (13.18) by three lengths and is more favourably drawn in a final with five wide seeds.

The other qualifier went to Poole track record holder Only One Leemac in 13.67.

The night proved particularly fruitful for CJM Racing who also had Chopchop Lady and Chopchop Daisy return at 10-1 and 7-1 respectively.

A good night too for the rejuvenated Droopys Dresden (Mall Brandy-Droopys Start, Mar 15) who raced for the seventh time in eleven months and landed the £500 stayers final for Mark Wallis in 35.56.
