All eyes are on the Boylesports Irish Derby and the two most high profile performances of the week came in the third round heats where Newinn Taylor, runner-up to Pestana last time out, went a fraction quicker on Saturday night.
While it might have gone a little under the radar – what about the 17.52 track record for Dunham Noel at Drumbo Park – on debut!!
Look out too for puppy Bumblebee Buzz with the fastest Galway sprint since Mall Brandy broke the track record seven years ago.
Elsewhere, Newbridge record holder Droopys Curio franked the form in the fastest run in the Waterford Oaks. At Kilkenny, Bull Run Norris continues to dominate the unraced stake, prior to his eventual transition to Kevin Hutton.
Clonmel has been flying in the last week, with a FOW run of 28.54 by Treaty Rebel. But on the basis of age, it is 17 month old Diamond Lisa who has been given the nod after a 28.78 run.
