Fatty Arbuckle has been the dog to beat over 540 metres at Crayford after winning his last three top grade races at the Kent venue.
Katie O’Flaherty’s runner hit a rich vein of form at the end of August when making all the running in a S1 to beat If Ever Banba by three lengths in 33.93sec.
The pair met again in the following week’s top grade renewal and the margin was almost six lengths this time as the son of Crash made all to score in 34.02sec.
After being by Romford Slick Savi in the BAGS Track Championship, the S1 hat trick was completed last Saturday when he again led from start to finish to beat Phat Mary by three lengths in 33.77sec.
Connections of Mullrook Danaher were £1,000 better off after he landed the Ladbrokes.com Maiden Trophy Final over 540 metres at Crayford on Saturday.
Paul Tompsett’s runner went off at 8-1 after being picked up in the heats, but he stayed on much better to see off the close attentions of Tinas Paddy by a head in 34.00sec.
The February 13 son of Kinloch Brae has now won three of his last seven races.
