Chanticleer, Phantom Bidder light up gallops

THE 10-year-old Iron Horse as Chanticleer is popularly known, lit up the gallops at Santa Rosa Park, Arima,  yesterday morning. David Ojar’s gelding, winner of 25 races on the course, stepped over 400 metres in the splendid time of 23.84 seconds. But the morning’s best over the trip was posted by Cyber Five who clocked 23.10 seconds. Star of the morning, however, was Phantom Bidder who sizzled over 1000 metres in 1:00.14 seconds. The Guv’nor, a late withdrawal from Saturday’s card, went over 600 metres in the good time of 36.22 seconds. Gaza Strip and Maracas Bay were best over the trip, however, being timed in 36.14 seconds for the run. Hatrick also looked good over the trip completed in 37.20 seconds, while Millenium Dancer clocked 37.90 seconds for the same distance. But Millenium Reign was better than that pair, clocking 36.53 seconds for the gallop. Classy Kim showed some sparkle over the 1000metres trip in 1:05.41 seconds, while the best run over 800 metres was recorded by Redoubled who was timed in 49.20.
