Inappropriately named Another Dud<\/B> made a total mockery of that name with a barnstorming victory in the Chem Lawn Stakes<\/I> in California<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> this week. After giving away a lead of more than ten lengths mid race, Another Dud<\/B> flew from the clouds, winding in Machs Band<\/B>, who had looked to have established a winning lead, and going on to convincing take the race. In winning the quarter of a million dollar Grade 2 challenge, Another Dud<\/B> won for trainer Jkj4<\/B> his first, but almost certainly not his last, Graded trophy, while extending his winning run to three. <\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Against A Tyrant<\/B> jumped brilliantly from his wide gate, crossed to the rai with ease and led clearly. Mach\u2019s Band<\/B> was content to hold the rail in second and comfortably adopted his favored running position. L Bundy<\/B> sat outside him while Septic Squall<\/B> had begun well but was caught three deep. Raging Menace<\/B> found the rail in the third line, ahead of and inside Irish Mandolin<\/B>. Chromium<\/B> settled next with the favorite King of Indy<\/B> alongside. Towards the rear came VVVV, Flower Account, Galilainey<\/B> and the eventual victor, Another Dud.<\/B><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

For half a mile jockeys were content to retain their relative positions, until the bend when the race began to get serious. Against A Tryant<\/B> had set up a four length break, but had he worked too hard to do it? Challengers were beginning to emerge. Mach\u2019s Band<\/B> had enjoyed a lovely run behind the leader and was beginning to close the gap. Septic Squall<\/B> had overtaken L Bundy<\/B>, who had had enough and Raging Menace<\/B> was also making his presence felt. From nowhere Another Dud<\/B> was taking giant strides.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Into the stretch and Against A Tyrant<\/B> had thrown in the towel. Mach\u2019s Band<\/B> had been ridden a treat and had worn down the leader, but it was Another Dud<\/B> flying down the outside with all the momentum. Mach\u2019s Band<\/B> was trying gallantly to reach the wire first, but with just yards to go Another Dud<\/B> collared him and such was his finishing burst, that the winning margin was a comfortable half length. Mach\u2019s Band<\/B> looked likely to hold on for much of last two furlongs and lost no respect in defeat.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Septic Squall <\/B>ran an even race for third, beaten four lengths.<\/P>

Raging Menace <\/B>worked home solidly to take fourth.<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

Against A Tyrant<\/B> took home the last cheque, after providing an exciting spectacle.<\/P>

Galilainey<\/B> made late ground without ever looking a threat.<\/P>

VVVV<\/B> raced beyond midfield throughout.<\/P>

Irish Mandolin <\/B>and Chromium <\/B>gave up early ground, finishing side by side.<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

King of Indy <\/B>was a huge disappointment, giving his supporters no joy.<\/P>

L Bundy <\/B>enjoyed a nice run, but faded badly.<\/P>

Flower Account <\/B>was outclassed.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>
