BRITISH breeders can be suitably proud of the sextet who will line up for Saturday’s 69th British Bred Produce Stakes Final which must rate as the best in many years.
Melton Mowbray based Dave Firmager won two of the three qualifiers in almost identical times.
Marginally quickest was a hound winning for the eight time in her last eleven outings, Fabulous Expert. The daughter of Head Bound beat Paul Sallis’ open winner Klockwork Khaos by just under two lengths in the fastest time of the day, 28.78
Kennelmate Romeo Storm justified 5-4 favouritism to beat Monmore Puppy Derby fourth Romany Rouge by two and a half lengths in 28.78.
There was a turn-up in the third semi where the fastest dog in the competition to date, What Fun Jamie (28.49c) was just headed on the line by Mossvale Ace. Derek Knight’s black was winning for the first time in his 13 race career.
