Hove staged eight opens on Thursday night. The outstanding performance was produced by Black Zack (Melodys Royal-Margaret Mary, Nov 14) in the 475m event.
Richard Rees’ Arc runner-p skated home by nearly 12 lengths in a time of 27.52. It was the fastest run over course and distance since Southfield Jock’s 27.42 track record from October 2015. Interestingly, Jock’s time was recorded on normal going, Zack’s was on a track rated .30 slow.
