A fabulous Irish Laurels win for Good Cody as he extends an impressive CV that already includes the 2021 Irish Sprint Cup and Tralee Derby. He also reached the finals of the Produce Stakes, Gold Cup and was runner-up in the Race Of Champions.
An acknowledgement too for Paul Hennessy’s new 525 yard track record holder Illnotbeback, two spots inside Droopys Edison’s previous best and the fastest 550 seen at the track in three years by English Derby winner Romeo Magico.
At Shelbourne Park Ballymac Run was six spots slower than her semi final win in the RPGTV Irish Puppy Oaks.
There were some exceptional pups on show at Clonmel in the opening round of the Munster Puppy Cup with three of the four heats going to Graham Holland trained youngsters. Quickest of the quartet, though also the oldest was Ballyhimikin Leo. Definitely an event to follow with interest.
