All eyes are on the Irish Leger and Lenson Blinder set the standard with a 29.64 run for the 550 yards. At Shelbourne Park there were only five spots between littermates Ballymac Arminta and Ballymac Anton in the Juvenile Derby on Friday night. The second nomination though goes to the veteran Drive On Tipp with the third fastest 600 of the year.
Paul Young’s former sprint star Broadstrand Kiwi went quickest in the second round of the Fair Warrior Sprint at Mullingar.
One virtual guarantee of a nomination is to be the youngest and fastest 525 yard winner of the week, hence a penalty kick for Dundalk’s Electiric lady. On the subject of pups though, none has outshone Spoofer who 28.36 in the unraced stake at Waterford makes it the Performance of the Week.
Specials awards too for Kielduff Macker who qualified with a time of 30.42 at Tralee and returned at 4-7f when winning on debut in 28.77 (-10) and trackmate Toast Of Cabra who qualified in a calculated 30.47 and romped up (evens) on debut in a calculated 28.79.
