Swift Monday double at Nottingham for Munslow
There were only four open races at Nottingham on Monday night but that was plenty for Terry Munslow to pick up a pair of winners to take the plaudits on the night.
Monday double for Munslow
Terry Munslow didn't have his first open race runner in 2026 until March 30 but has picked up five winners from his first nine runners within a month, all at Nottingham.
Swift Kipper has been the star for the kennel, taking four of those five wins for herself, all over 480m. She took the final of the 480m Trophy last night to make it five wins from her last six starts and seven from her last 10. A half-sister to All England Cup winner Swift Silly and Derby quarter-finalist One Slick Jamie, she is a smart type in her own right.
The Munslow double was completed by Swift Home who won over 500m. She is another bitch from a nice family for the kennel, a litter sister to Sheffield sprint track record holder Swift Hostile. She possesses plenty of early boot herself which she put to good use to lead up early on.
Esther Driver picked up a winner with Skyfall Orna who took advantage of a slow starter inside of her and one who lacked a look on her outside. That opened up a nice space for her to operate in, taking up the running as the field went into the back and never looking back.
The other open race winner on the card was Headford Spider for Paula Timmins in a stayers contest. She showed decent pace around the outside to get herself on the lead early on in the piece to make a successful step up in trip for the first time.
