Pinpoint Finas, runner-up in the William Hill Classic at Sunderland, could be in line for some compensation at Pelaw Grange.
Kelly Macari’s dog gave a prime performance in his dress rehearsal for the Pinpoint Recruitment Trophy, which starts at Pelaw Grange next weekend, with a clock of 25.67 was the fastest of Sunday’s trial session for the 435 metres, nine spots better than Calzaghe George.
Target Harris (25.87), Crooks Emporio (25.90), Bellmore Bling (25.90) and Jumeirah Steed (25.98) were the only others to duck under the 26-second barrier.
But the meeting that followed the trials threw up a strong contender from the local team with the Trevor Jameson-trained Satin Mark flying round to win one of the Pinpoint Recruitment Standards by two and a half lengths from Poolie Storm in 25.45.
