Another week, more Ballymacs. Oaks winner Ballymac Ariel dominated the first round of its puppy equivalent with the second fastest 525 of the year.
While in the Shelbourne (Guinness, Ladbrokes) Open 600, kennelmate Ballymac Cashout (a brother of Towcester Puppy Derby finalist Bockos Melody) beat an outstanding field in the fastest run of the round.
The other big event taking place, the Kingdom Derby, Native Maestro extended his winning sequence to six with the fastest run of the round.
Earlier this year Razldazl Annie went to traps with Pestana, Run Happy, Ballymac Anton and Boylesports Xtra is the semi finals of the Gold Cup at Shelbourrne. On Saturday, the 64lb white and black landed the Irish Grand National at Cork.
Only four races at Ennisorthy but Ballymac Darver produced a decent run for a June pup. Better news in the North though following Covid lockdown and the fastest time of the night at Drumbo for Kelsey Duke.
On the subject of Covid, it is good to see a few more ’19 whelps finally starting to make the breakthrough following a heavily disrupted year.
