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.

Romeo Active 28.86 Lifford (Ire) debut win...
An original broodbitch analysis done back in 2004 for Fabulous Star (Head Honcho x Fast March) - has emerged in 2009, in the shape of the Pat Buckley trained Romeo Active (Premier County x Fabulous Star) - a stylish 6.5 length winner over the Lifford 525y in a nippy 28.86 - at a mere 19 months of age.

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”.
Having just his second career start, Romeo Expert, who had set tongues wagging by winning his opening-round heat by over ten lengths, led at the first bend and proceeded to draw further and further clear, eventually crossing the line over eight lengths clear of Cashpointcharlie.
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.
