It is almost a cut and paste intro this week as we highlight a number of extraordinary performances at Sheffield. The nomination has to go to Steel City Cup winner Headford Ranger though the hugely impressive Referendum must be mentioned in despatches.
A more obvious penalty kick is Newinn Jacko following his victory in the prestigious Ladbrokes Puppy Derby at Monmore. The consolation for the other finalists comes from studying the subsequent careers of those who missed out in previous years.
Among the graded performances, Droopys Noodle’s second consecutive nomination is right up there following a 33.59 run.
