ODDS 27 PACODDS ON 20 PACODDS PUP PAC

The undoubted star of the weekend was Clonbrien Hero following his victory in the Produce Stakes Final at Clonmel. The Graham Holland trained brindle reversed from with kennelmate Lughill Robbie in a flying 28.22 (-10) for the 525 yards. (The track record is held by Clares Rocket at 27.87).

Hero has a serious challenger for performance of the week though in Ian Reilly’s Burnt Beans who set a new track record of 28.17 for the standard at Dundalk. The previous clock was 28.31.

The weekend’s other big final was Tralee’s Lee Strand 550 won by Millroad McCoy, though the nomination goes to Lassa Exquisite for the fastest 525 performance of the year.

The widely touted Good News lived up to the hype at Limerick with a 29.49 run for the 550 yards (TR 29.26) Elsewhere, Buckos Dream landed the fastest semi final of the Red Mills Champion Unraced Stake at Kilkenny. Droopys Smasher went quickest in the first round of the Barrys 750 at Cork. Kylehill Strauss completed a four-timer over Newbridge’s 550 yards.

Piercetown Moll clocked the fastest of the year for Enniscorthy’s 525 with a 29.00 run.

Fastest over the standard distance at Drumbo was one of the week’s youngest winners, Boleys Fella. Home Jewel did something similar at Mullingar, while another pup Marys Joy produced the fastest sprint of the week at Longford.

College Jade produced the best 550 figures so far this year over the lightly used trip at Waterford.
