2015 Irish Puppy Derby finalist Skywalker Archie (Top Savings-Cabra Fifi, Oct 13) defied a downpour to complete an unbeaten run through the Henlow Maiden Derby.
The Pete Swadden trained blue went to traps as the 6-4f despite a switch into the four box from the stripes. If anything the move only helped his cause as he set his fastest sectional to date (3.67) to lead from trap to line.
He come home two and a bit clear of ex-Hove A1 runner Dusko Popov (T3 7-4) in a time of 27.80 on going rated -40 during a heavy rain storm.
