Finals Night
On Wednesday night we have the final of the What A Tornado N2 525. Michael Bergins Cill Dubh Lodge has put in 2 eye catching performances, last week he covered the circuit in a smart time of 29.38 and despite a tricky trap 6 draw he will be the likely favourite. The card will also feature the final of the A4 Novice 725 where Five Ally Cathy will be the favourite after making an impressive 6 bend debut.
On Friday we have the final of the Gain Feeds Open 725. This really is a top class final with cases made for all greyhounds involved. Local favourite Welesbourne Dan will be the likely favourite, however Air Force Ellie & Killough Harry are in top form at present and can really put it up to “Dan”. Droopys Alexus has unbelievable pace but must start coming away better, if she does she has a huge chance. St Mullins Pride and Pachacuti must take flyers from Trap 5 & Trap 6 respectively, both ran well last week and can go close. The card will also feature the 4 Quarter Finals of the Springhill Court A4 where Marie Byrne’s Dysert O GARA was the star of the 1st round when he recorded 29.28 in only his 2nd race. The rest of the card will feature 4 1st rd heats of the John Mitchell ( track bookmaker) A3 / A4.

SEMI FINAL TIME
On friday we have the 2 semi finals of the Gain Feeds Open 725. Welesbourne Dan was the fastest 1st rd winner last friday night, he will have to overcome a tricky trap 6 draw in Fridays Semi Final but he will still be expected to take his place in the final Friday week. Paul Hennessy's Air Force Ellie and Pat Mullett's St Mullins Pride were the other heat winners, both recording identical times and they will fancy their chances of making the final also. Peter Cronin guided Bog Road Joe and Pachacuti safely into Fridays semi final draw and although both of them were drawn in the same heat dont be suprised if the Mooncoin handler gets the 2 of them into the final. It will be hugely interesting to see how Droopys Alexus performs friday night. This mARCH 2010 whelp was might impressive in defeat and actually won a 845 yd race in Newbridge on Saturday. This one looks like a real star over 6 bends next year.
Fridays card will also feature 8 1st rd heats of the Springhill Court Hotel A4 525. This carries a cool €2,000 to the winner and is kindly sponsored by The Springhill Court Hotel and Richie Walsh, Track Bookmaker. The final is scheduled for Friday December 9th where there will be a number of finals on the night aswell as free draws and entertainment afterwards in the Springill Court Hotel.
