Almost a re-jig of last week’s format when the fastest two Irish Derby heat winners received nominations along with the new Newbridge track record holder – they are just different dogs.
Shelbourne’s two nominations last week were both beaten in the quarter finals though Jaytee Taylor survives to go again, Lenson Blinder does not.
His kennelmate Slippy Sian duly gets the first slot, with Newhall Missile the next quickest. At Newbridge, the week old track record now belongs to puppy Ballymac Anton.
At Waterford, Droopys Saga, a younger full sister to Droopys Country, produced a run fitting of a Munster Oaks winner. At Clonmel, Ballydoyle Alarm, a litter brother to Roxholme Butt, took the 550 stake.
Other runs of note include a fastest 350 of the year at Dundalk for Messan Mohican while at Longford, the week’s fastest 525 winner was also the youngest, Swanley Flight.
