Unusually, there were more selections from Shelbourne’s Friday night card than Saturday’s.
Ireland’s top marathoner for an extended period Dana Point took the fastest heat and looks set to defend her title in the Dublin Marathon.
Over four bends, puppy Ballymore Border produced a flying run to land the €6,000 Dublin Cup. On Saturday, Bockos Leah went best in the heats of the Winter Oaks.
Elsewhere – at Enniscorthy, Mrs Boss produced the fastest 600 run since 2018. At Cork, Jacob Tashadelek equalled the (his own) second fastest 575 yard run of the year. Look out too for April pup Droopys Pilgrim with the fastest 525 of the week at Limerick.
Finally, while the 28.10 for Singalong Sally looked nailed on for the Tralee, selection, how could you overlook February pup Bobsleigh Dream who was only nine spots slower?
