200-up Chloe signs off in proper style

CLASSY CHLOE signed off the 200th and final race of her career in the finest of style when winning at 9-2 at Sheffield last weekend to send her army of supporters home happy.

The daughter of Ballymac Best and Julies Chloe turned five in February, but connections had their sights set on the double century milestone for their popular bitch.

Trainer Danny Gomersall said: “Chloe was still enjoying her racing and we had 200 races in mind for her, which is a phenomenal achievement.

“She could have carried on, but the time was right for her to sign off. She’s a lovely bitch and deserves to enjoy her retirement. She was treated to a McDonald's on the way home, and I didn’t even get a look in on the nuggets!”

Classy Chloe started her career at Kinsley with Dave Fradgley before transferring to Gomersall at Owlerton, winning races over both two and four bends in a career which saw her notch 28 victories and 40 runner-up finishes.
