Kilmore victory

24th November 2009 11:05:16 AM

There appears to be no way of stopping Kilmore pair Tony Peacock and Damian Wilson at present, scoring a first-up victory at Bendigo with new stable addition King Of Paradise in the Quality Hotels Pacers Handicap for C5 or better class over 2150 metres.

Bred at John and Kay Campbell's Loddon Valley Stud (Durham Ox), King Of Paradise raced by Paul Bajada returned a mile rate of 2-01.5 in registering his 12 success in 50 race appearances.

The juggernaut continued at Cranbourne on Wednesday, with Blissful Hall/Lady Lara Lombo colt Lord Lombo leading throughout from gate three to land the Choice Hotels 132400 3-Y-0 Pace over 2080 metres in advance of Paul Weidenbach's Wiley Jasper which trailed, using the sprint lane to no avail to give Kilmore the quinella, with Western Blaze third after racing in the open.

The mile rate 2-00.5.

Driven once again by Wallan's Noel Shinn, Magne from gate four enjoyed the run of the race on the back of the leader Miffastrio drawn inside him and when eased three wide on straightening, ran home strongly to defeat a death-seating from the bell Glees Honour and Budding Christian in a rate of 1-58.7.
