Taberner's Najem goes fastest in Oxford's KAB Puppy Collar semis
AERO NAJEM, who had been the slowest heat winner, was the quickest with a brilliant semi-final victory in the KAB Puppy Collar over 450m at Oxford.
In doing so, Richie Taberner's youngster reversed Romford Puppy Cup semi-final form with the eventual champion of that competition, Scooby Diamond, making all for a two lengths plus victory in 26.63sec (-10).
The opening semi went to Mike Burton's Outa The Clouds in 26.72sec as he rebounded from a 1/4 heat reverse, with last week's fastest Ollie The Ox (26.85sec) following up in the second for Kevin Hutton.
