With three runners clocking identical times in the Boyesports Irish Derby semis, the triple Shelbourne nomination is only ruined by the withdrawal of Our Surprise from the final. Lenson Bocko and Mucky Brae take the other spots.
Elsewhere there was a win for Grangeview West – from a great litter than includes Grangeview Ten and Salacres Punch in the Munster Oaks at Waterford. At Newbridge, Costa Plenti landed the Texacloth Juvenile. At Limerick, Boylesportstwink showed the sort of stamina displayed by his outstanding dam in the Cambridgeshire Final.
New ‘fastest of years’ are thin on the ground at this time of year, but Cill Dubh Cuala went quickest over the 575 course at Enniscorthy.
