They came from far and wide to land Hove’s prestige competition but nobody would begrudge the success for popular local trainer Jason Heath in the Coral Regency Final on Wednesday night.
Tyrap Dragi (Head Bound-Varra Lark, Mar 14), the only middle seed, had five railers on his inside for the £10,000 decider. The 8-1 chance, who had qualified for the decider with runs of 41.92 and 41.90, would show the value of consistency and track craft – he had to pass Slick Strauss on his inside – before going on for an easy victory in a messy race . . .
