Unbelievable..............

At the age of 3 years and 3 months Lisa's Invader won tonight in the highest grade he has ever ran in and smashed the £3,500 prizemoney barrier. Against proven good quality dogs including two with Open form he ran the race of his life winning in 38.77. Breaking out level with his nemesis Elderberry Nemo they stole a lead together, Nemo poached a length lead round the first two bends. Passing the winning post first time around they were probably four clear. The battle continued down the back straight toe to toe. In to the third bend the Prince rallied to move upsides poised to deliver his run for home. Surely not we thought." Go on the Prince" we roared as he passed Nemo and stayed on to win The Bank's Bitter Stakes by one length.

As the Silver Fox (with pint class in hand) walked to the winners rostrum for the second week running I tried to call the co–owner Ray Allen. However connection was not possible as he was out or range in Kerry. It has been reported he was collecting again from all the bookies in County Kerry whom he had placed 20 bets @ £20.00 at SP odds (7/2 i). Paid 7’s on the Tote!!
