Game Goofy is a Blue Riband starBY JIM CREMIN TOWCESTER, despite being battered on Sunday by Storm Isha, still managed to serve up a Blue Riband final to remember as Signet Goofy flew out to secure first run and then battled home to fend off thot favourite Romeo Command – who had looked the likely winner when cruising down the back straight.
There were scenes of wild delight as joint-owners Lee Calcutt and Chris Waters celebrated with trainer John Mullins as their January 20 British-bred veteran held on by a neck in 29.39sec.
In fact Jamie McGee, kennelhand to Romeo Command’s trainer Patrick Janssens, gasped: “I don’t know how he hasn’t won! I guess he went the wrong side of Goofy, who of course is a battler.” He then shook Mullins by the hand, who said: “Our dog is a legend, one of the best I’ve ever had and absolutely loves it here.”
He had originally reared the litter bred by Kevin Hutton. “Kevin named him Goofy and we’ve always been grateful that he let us have him back. He’s had a wonderful career, this is the cream on the cake.”
Calcutt said: “What a fantastic dog and what a race, He’s a dog of a lifetime.”
Waters added: “We’ve had a wonderful three years with him, he’s the best I’ve ever had – he just loves to race and never gives up.”
