THE weather might have stopped nearly all sporting action over the weekend – but greyhound racing fans at least got to see some action at Oxford Stadium.

But it was not great news as only six out of a scheduled 26 races beat the conditions.

The opening races on Saturday night went ahead as planned, before the management decided that conditions were too dangerous to continue.

And it got worse when yesterday’s BAGS meeting was also called off without a race being run – leaving the stadium around £16,000 out of pocket over the two nights.

The Angie Kibble-trained veteran Suttons Gem, who will turn six this year, made light of the wintry conditions and his age to rack up his second victory over the year when romping home in the opening race.

Out of the boxes quickly, the 6-4 favourite was soon into his stride and after taking up the running at the second bend was never headed coming home over five lengths to the good from Teds Porsche for owner Frances Hillier.

Ron Bicknell’s Yahoo Theresa (5-4 fav), just like the previous winner, then strung her field out from the boxes to come home a comfortable winner from Winetavern Tadgh.

There was a satisfying run for Tony Magnasco’s home-bred Another Episode (3-1), who came up trumps on his debut.

Always in the hunt, the black dog took up the running at the third bend to deny Bugess Ali by three quarters of a length.

Magnasco then made it a double as Pennys Twin conjured up a flying start in the stayers’ event to win virtually unchallenged from Greencroft Tommy.

With conditions deteriorating, Gilly Hepden’s Morning Glory (9-4 fav) provided punters with a welcome lift when making light of her rivals to win her second in a row.

But after All Jack (5-2) saw off Sorayas Gold by two lengths in the next race, the meeting was abandoned.
