Kinsley hold narrow lead in Bags Championship [watches]
KINSLEY will take a small but precious lead to Sheffield on Thursday following a first leg home success in the Northern section of the Bags Track Championship on Sunday afternoon.
The hosts recorded one win and three second places in their total of 36 points and are just three points ahead of Newcastle with Belle Vue just one point further behind.
Andrew Mascarenhas, joint Racing Manager at Kinslery said "You can't be unhappy when leading after the first leg but we feel one more win would have been a fair reflection for us on the scoreboard. We may struggle at Sheffield on Thursday but cando well at tighter tracks Belle Vue and Sunderland".
The opening heat (Sprint) was settled in the blink of an eye when Newcastle's Torch (4-1) pinged the lids to bag a quick ten points for the Geordies.
Michael Walsh'spup had to fend off a persistent challenge from the home team's Boherna Mac but was always holding that rival at arm's length to score by a length and-a-half in 16.20sec.
Amazingly the second leg, the 462m Standard, produced an identical team result as the first race with Jimmy Fenwick taking the honours for Newcastle via Skywalker Sally (11-4).
The winner, who led from the third bend and clocked 27.92sec , was chased home by representatives from Kinsley and Nottingham with Sunderland, Sheffield and Belle Vue finishing fourth, fifth and sixth again.
The hosts recorded their first ten-pointer in the Dogs contest when Richard Thomas's well-supported Bransa Steal (Evens) took full advantage of a dream run up the fence to surge past Nottingham's Firecracker Jack and then hold the late run of Belle Vue's Devious Rumble.
This result saw Kinsley hit the front on the scoreboard as Newcastle's Tenacious Ted could only finish sixth.
There was a massive gamble on Elaine Parker's Demesne Loopy for the Bitches contest but the Sheffield raider swung off badly at the first bend and ended up on the floor along with the unfortunate Elwick Niki (Sunderland).
The race was won by Kathryn Harris's Springvale Mabel (Belle Vue) who made all in a time of 27.82sec. And the Manchester outfit were quick to strike again when Beverley Heaton's Dacent Acorn (5-1) ran on well to catch Newcastle's Annamore Richy close home in the Puppy contestat 4.46.
The Stayers race that concluded the leg went to Sheffield's Archielonglegs (4-5F) who landed a wholesale gamble to make all of the running. Lisa Stephenson's railer, who was put forward by Pricewise at morning odds of 7-2, doubled Sheffield's score as the South Yorkshire raiders had only taken ten points from the first five events.
