Romeo loves the Abbey as record falls

8:00am Monday 27th July 2009

Romeo Expert, the puppy sensation, lived up to the huge amount hype and expectation that has engulfed him during a very short track career with an extraordinary display in the final of the 63rd Two Year Old Produce Stakes at the Abbey Stadium.
Dave Firmager’s dog has been talked about nationwide but had blotted his copybook in the semi-finals.

When it came to the showpiece however, the canine star didn’t fluff his lines when it mattered most.

With his semi-final reversal obviously fresh in punters’ minds, the Coventry raider drifted in the betting from 4/7 to evens but 28.29 seconds later - a track record shattering performance - those odds were made to look very generous indeed.

A quick break, followed by a slight bump at the first bend, soon put him in control before he miraculously pulled further and further clear to annihilate an extremely talented field by over seven lengths.

Best of the rest was Milly Marina who ran on well having taken a bump at the first bend while Eye Eye Pickle, one of the main fancies for the competition prior to its commencement was a length back in third.

Westmead Bolt, trained by the multiple Derby-winning trainer Nick Savva, and Guinness time, trained by Trainers Championship winner Seamus Cahill, were fourth and fifth respectively having been involved in some early trouble The next stop for Romeo Expert is likely to be the Puppy Derby or Nottingham’s Produce Stakes but his run on Saturday will go down as one of the greatest performances ever seen at Blunsdon.

GROUP 1 WINNER FOR V12 PEDIGREES

V12 Pedigrees mating plan Romeo Expert wins the 2009 Category 1 (Group 1) 2yo Produce Stakes by 7 & 1/4 lengths in a new track record run of 28.29!!!!

V12 Pedigrees would like to thank breeder David Firmager for his great support and are extremely pleased to see him rewarded with his first Group 1 win and £17,000 in prize money, through V12 Pedigrees mating plan Romeo Expert!

Romeo Expert certainly is the talking dog of the UK!

Romeo Active 28.86 Lifford (Ire) debut win...

UNBEATEN ACE EXPERT SETS THE PRODUCE PACE AGAIN

By Richard Birch 3.44PM 18 JUL 2009

ROMEO EXPERT, a December 07 son of Collision trained by Dave Firmager, took star billing in Friday’s second round of the 63rd Two Year Old Produce Stakes at Swindon, after which four-time Derby-winning handler Nick Savva hailed him as “a flying machine who will take a lot of beating”.

The winning time of 29.18sec – adjusted to 28.38sec when the -80 going allowance was taken into account – sets a very high standard which the other contestants will surely find difficult to match.

Kwikas Canbee

Group race winning breeders Sandro Bechini & Darren Leeson [BL Partnership] have aquired a very exciting brood prospect named Kwikas Canbee - Kwikas Canbee was a highly promising racebitch with a race record of 7 starts 3-1-1, consisting of a flying 30.06 (BOD) & 30.31 (BOD) wins around The Meadows.

Some 6 months later Kwikas Canbee returned to the racetrack - however, after a further 5 spaced out runs in an attempt to see Kwikas Canbee fullfil her undoubted potential - her original owner/breeder retired her to stud after a mere 13 starts.
