It feels strange to write one of these without Bockos Diamond in it! As it was, there were some more exceptional performances at Shelbourne this week to enjoy.
Mongys Wild gets the nod after a spectacular debut over six bends. His 41.17 is just 16 spots off Tuono Charlie’s 2024 leading time and just 31 off Redzer Ardfert’s track record set in 2019. He is from just the second litter to hit the track for sire Roxholme Olaf out of a dam who was a half-sister to the exceptional Clonbrien Prince.
Five runs, five wins and another mention in this feature for Epic Ace. He has looked an outstanding recruit so far and a flag bearer for his sire Signet Ace. His next run will be in the final of the A3 sweepstake on Friday night.
Mullingar saw a new track record over their 550 yard trip from Bective Rosy. She took six spots off the prior clock which was only set back in February. From a February 22 Top Savings litter who were born two and a half years after his previous one, she is one for those who like to reminisce.
The step up to 550 yards and racing at Enniscorthy seems to have been the making of Sense Of Humour. She has won the heats and semis of an A1 sweepstake and is set for a tasty clash with the other semi-final winner Ballinabola Jake later on this week.
