The heavy hitters were out on a drenched Shelbourne Park for the three second round heats of the Easter Cup with Newinn Lester the quickest of the trio.
Look out too for an exceptional run by Paul Hennessy’s Congress Thunder. A 28.11 run at Cork is ‘flying’ at any stage, especially for a dog beaten in his previous six, but even better when considering that the next fastest time of the night was 28.60. Keep an eye open too for Toolmaker Namo (Drumbo), suspect we will hear more of Willie Hyslop’s debutant in the future
The performance of the week though goes to the ‘still undefeated, middleweight champion puppy. . . . Newiiiiiinn Taylorrrrrrrrrr, who landed the final at Limerick with some six length to spare over the next fastest time of the night.
