The Red Mills Champion Unraced is always one of the top juvenile events in Ireland producing some great dogs in the past and this year’s event looks another classy competition.
Tarsna Rory was the fastest heat winner and faces a stern test in Friday’s second round.
Geoff Parnaby’s dog, who clocked a quickest 28.97sec, can see off 29.11sec winner Flawless Spirit.
Crossfield Titus, who was caught after leading last week, can take the first heat.
Brendan O’Shea’s runner, beaten a short head in 29.33sec, can hold the late surge of Perry Aylward’s Skilful Legend.
O’Shea can double up in heat four with his Crossfield Vitus, a 29.39sec winner, who can see off the likes of Murt Leahy’s Ballybough Lee and Cill Dubh Messi.
John Martin’s Shutthebackdoor, a 29.19s
