ODDS 27 PAC

A shortened version this week with no Newbridge, Thurles or Longford racing due to the extreme weather conditions in Ireland.

This column is a big fan of fastest Laurels qualifier Rockbay Foley but on this occasion the Cork nomination goes to the fastest sprinter of the year to date, Butterbridge Bex.

The Shelbourne ‘double nomination’ – brought about following the increase in racing after Harolds Cross closed – could not be simpler with the two Graham Holland trained litter brothers Slippy Cian and Lenson Blinder taking the semi finals of the big 550 stake in identical times.

The Performance of the Week award is also shared by two comrades. January pup Mays Brave Eagle was just four spots off the fastest 525 of the week at Dundalk, while Mays Buywise was quickest over the standard in the unraced stake at Waterford.

For those who haven’t spotted it yet – the two pairs of littermates are out of Perry and May Aylward’s brood Global Liberty (Westmead Haw-Droopys Cher).
