Elaine Parker, riding high following her victory in Wednesday’s Gymcrack at Kinsley with Stay Loose, enjoyed a nice success at Sheffield on Thursday and while it was attained in somewhat less vaunted company it was none the less very sweet.
Coolavanny Rebel, a July 2013 son of Droopys Scolari and Coolavanny Angie, had opened his account at the second attempt the previous week when landing an A2 and he stepped up to the mark again when raised to the top grade.
He tracked the favourite, kennelmate Office Contact, through the first three bends and then made his move, taking control quickly to set up a length and threequarters success in a calculated 29.35 (-20) for the 500 metres in a style that suggests that here is more to come from this youngster.
