Droopys Buick earned the long overdue Category One victory that was long overdue when taking the Betfred Eclipse at Nottingham on Tuesday night. This is how he did it,
It was a worthy reward for a dog with two near misses over course and distance in the Puppy Classic (3rd) and Select Stakes (2nd). The Puppy Derby winning son of Yeah Man and Droopys Hilda clocked 30.14. He returned at 7-4 and his winning time was 30.14
