If the standard of Wednesday night’s Calne Racing Arc Trialstakes is matched in the event itself, then the locals can expect a cracking first round on Saturday March 12 (entries close on the Tuesday prior).
The bar was set by Forest Twilight with a FOY 28.54 (+10) three and a bit win over Taranis Bolt (who clocked a similar time in December).
Bolt’s kennelmate Dedi Diddle Dum was only five spots slower when winning for the fifth time in his last six outings, with Hall Green based Embers Fury and Fabulous Expert each rocking up in 28.64.
Two of the three 509s were also won in identical times, 29.91 (Teejays Panther, Jet Stream Style) with Romeo Storm successful in 30.25.
The meeting concluded with another victory from Pete Swadden’s tricast queen (24 in a row) Jet Stream Bound who covered the 685 meters in 41.62 (+15) – a time calculated at within seven spots of her previous victory despite going disparities of over two seconds.
