ODDS 27 PAC

Cork track was running particularly fast at the weekend with Peter Cronin’s Vancouver recording the fastest 525 in two years when winning an A1 stake with the two fastest 550s of the year also recorded at the same session.

A second nomination though goes to puppy Gringos Thunder with the fastest semi of the Gain Unraced.

At Clonmel, Geoff Parnaby’s impressive semi final winner Tarsna Dow Jones duly won the Guys And Dolls Final in 28.86 on a slow track – the next quickest time was 29.07.

Two runners well known to UK punters, Broadstrand Kiwi and Dorotas Del Mar both made it through to the Irish Sprint Cup final at Dundalk.

A mention in despatches at Longford for Racecourse Metro, not only the fastest 525 of the week, by some margin, but the only winning ’17 whelp.
