You wouldn’t have needed a stop watch to appreciate the performance of Coom Leo in the opening round of the Bresbet Easter Cup.
The Pat Buckley trained black was clinical in seeing off Bockos Viera in the fastest time of the night on a track rated at .30 slow. Desperately sorry to see Jacob Tashadelek go wrong with the sixth heat at his mercy.
Incidentally, did any one else spot that of the 24 races staged at Shelbourne on Friday/Saturday, half of them were won by Droopys Sydney offspring.
Look out too for some fabulous young talent at Tralee in the Jevenile Classic. Quickest of the lot was the Pat Guilfoyle trained Magical Flyer with a 28.23 (-10) run having qualified in 28.46. Then there was Singalong Sally winning a flying semi final (on a slow track) in an event with a ‘who’s who’ Roll of Honour, the Champion Bitch Stake at Thurles.
