Exciting Times Ahead

The summer season of racing in coming upon us at Kilkenny and with this week’s sunshine we can start to look forward top class racing from here on.
 
Wednesday night sees the final of the Erinstone Coursing Bred unraced, with the ever improving Big Mahie (Wallace Green - Lady Bellvue) a likely favourite for Martin Lanney.   There is a great card on for the night with all races sponsored by local coursing clubs.
 
Friday night then we have the first round of the McCalmont cup, which as always promises to be a superb stake.  Again, this is kindly sponsored by Tom Quinn of Broadway Petfoods.
 
Also, take note that the €12,000 Red Mills Champion Unraced is only 5 weeks away, with first round heats scheduled for Friday May 4th.   This stake is sure to again unearth a star to follow in the footsteps of previous participants, Yahoo Jamie, Spiral Nikita etc..
