The Boylesports Irish Derby dominates the Irish racing scene at present with Clares Rocket continuing to demonstrate that he is the fastest hound of his generation. Lughill Robbie was just a spot slower than last week’s performance in the sprint and gets the second Shelbourne nomination.
Elsewhere, there was a fine run by Crafty Trivago in the Waterford Oaks and Misty Surpeme in the Texacloth Juvenile at Newbridge. Over the standard distance, Bangor Lily clocked the fastest time of the year to date at Drumbo. Cosy Messi did something similar for Enniscorthy’s 575 yards while Ashgrove Fort is now the quickest over 400 yards at Mullingar in 2017
