At Clonmel, their kennelmate Unreal Bruiser clocked the fastest 550 run in four years when winning in 29.63. By way of comparison, quickest last year was Explosive Boy (29.65). While another kennelmate, Gaytime Hugo won an impressive Leger Trialstake at Limerick.
At Shelbourne puppy Glengar Elvis and Bens Teddy landed the semi finals of the Yvonne Barry 600.
While at Youghal, Farout Sydney, a younger full brother to Derby winner Deerjet Sydney clocked the fastest 525 of the year (equalling the fastest time over course and distance in 2022).
