We reckon the race caller must have backed Lotsa Grunt.
‘Grunt’ caused the caller to groan when dropping out to last in the 1000m scamper at Cranbourne yesterday (21 December) – some two lengths off the second last horse.
And with less than two furlongs to go, Lotsa Grunt still trailed the field – some eight lengths from the leader.
But the vocal chords picked up a decibel or three when Lotsa Grunt began his wind up, swooping home over the final 50m to score by close to a length.
The first crop son of Bel Esprit has really come into his own this campaign with a win at Echuca followed by a short half head second at Moonee Valley, another sold fourth at the Valley at the start of this month and now his Cranbourne victory.
With nine starts under his belt, Lotsa Grunt has now posted three wins and three seconds and is yet another Bel Esprit who appears to be improving with age.
