There were impressive wins by three relative newcomers here at the weekend.

Swift Power, Shesha and Aero Goytee were all registering their first race wins at Crayford and the threesome look set to win further races during the coming weeks.

Swift Power had eight races previously at Swindon before joining Crayford trainer Gemma Davidson’s kennels and had no luck in his debut here on March 13 when badly baulked and knocked over at the first bend when in contention.

The dog made no mistake, however, this time when leading from trap to line in a time of 34.47secs over 540m in a grade S6 race.

He looks a strong type of greyhound and ran away from his opponents on Saturday evening, crossing the winning line just under six lengths clear. This win time would be good enough to win in both grades S5 and S4 so you can expect a return from the dog in the near future.

Shesha arrived here having had only three races in Ireland at Tralee and ran her debut race here for trainer Barry O’Sullivan on March 20 in high grade S2 over 540m.

Her debut race saw her finishing fourth behind track star Stunning Harvey and her second race at the weekend looked less difficult for her, opposition wise, as was proved to be the case with the local bookmakers sending her off as the 2/1 fav.

She duly repaid favourite backers leading all the way, recording a fast 12.79secs over the first 120m.

From that point she was never going to be caught but managed to give her supporters a real fright, winning by just a neck on the line from debutant Twist. Twist should now go on and win an S2 race and Shesha should figure prominently in top grade S1.

New trainer here Katie O’Flaherty has made an immediate impact on the winners front and Aero Goytee continued the trend on Saturday evening when landing an A3 race over 380m in 23.62secs.

The dog has experience on his side with 33 races now on his record book, 28 previously having been run at Henlow, and this was his 11th career win to date.

He will now go back up to grade A2 in which he competed in his first two races at Crayford which saw the dog finish in fifth and third. This time around he may be better equipped.
