No But was the local hero on Wednesday when he became the second Sunderland dog to win the track’s showpiece event, the William Hill Classic. The first was Pinpoint Maxi writes John Forbes. The dog is a very strong finisher and he put that talent to good use as he wore down Pinpoint Finas over the final metres to land the £25,000 first prize by three quarters of a length in 27.00 for the 450 metres.
Winning trainer Julie Calvert says: “He has always managed to find that extra energy at the finish, even when he was racing in handicaps. I think that his next big competition will be the Steel City Cup at Sheffield.
