Encouraging Debut

Drumscraw Bullet made a satisfactory introduction to racing in Lifford a few weeks ago. She paced up with the leader to the bend from trap 3 where the dog on her outside cut the bend and took her racing room. She regained her momentum and galloped home very strongly to be beaten a diminishing 3 lengths in 19.13. She opened favourite at 5/4, do the bookies know something I don't?, and was returned 7/4. The winner was bet in a fashion that would have you believe it couldn't be beaten and was returned 1/2.

Bullet will come on for the experience, she is still a puppyish Oct 06 whelp, and with a bit more work over the next few weeks should go close next time out.

Below is a link to the race video.
