The final sextet for next week’s Boylesports Irish Derby have booked their slots, four dogs and two bitches, five blacks and one white/black. The two semi final winners are Oaks winner Susie Sapphire (18 races, 11 wins) and All About Ted who finished fourth in an English Derby quarter final which featured the first, second and last in the final itself.
Elsewhere there was a fabulous 28.44 run from the 84lb pup Kiltrea Brandy at Enniscorthy, just four spots outside Rossa Baby’s track record. Dana Point went quickest in the Cambridgeshire semis though we will give the nod to 28.19 winner Magical Poppy.
The hardest decision was at Waterford where Clona Sky won the Waterford Oaks (28.41), and Brynoffa Sweet clocked the fastest 575 (31.16), but in the end it has to go to Jan ’20 puppy Twoinarow who has now won all three races, most recently in 28.28.
