Preperations for BEAM are well and truly under way with the Dobbs Oil N1 Unraced starting Wednesday Night (June 27th). 48 Unraced Greyhounds are in the draw and it promises for some top class puppy action over the next few weeks.
There will be a top class card on Friday Night which is also a Benefit Night for Johnstown GAA Club. The race of the night will be the final of the Red Mills Champion Juvenile, its a top class final which features Matt O Donnell, Marie Gilbert, Paul Hennessy & Seamus Graham. Matt O'Donnell's Skywalker Puma has drawn the red jacket and after his superb 28.63 effort last week he will be favourite in many peoples eyes. However Paul Hennessy's Liveanddangerous looks a likely leader and after recording 28.80 & 28.86 he has to be hugely respected. Marie Gilber'ts Allen Master & Seamus Graham's Keelogs Diamond are also capble of a big run if getting away fast enough.
The James Tynan Memorial A3 525 has turned into a very competive sweepstake and this final will also be run Friday Night. Paul Hennessy's Priceless Pilot has drawn trap 5 in the final, this fella has really caught the eye in the past few weeks. His pace from halfway is incredible, similar to his father, Late Late Show. He looks certain to be a future star over 600 yds. This fella wont lead on Friday night and even if hes last at the sprint box he still has a chance. In stark contrast, Ballybough Pa in Trap 1 is all about early pace, hes not the strongest stayer but will hope to build up a strong lead and hope for a bit of trouble behind. The Martin Leahy trained recorded a slick 29.27 in last weeks semi final and is improving every week. Paul Hennessy's Locnamon Bridie and Vincent Finn's Inkerman are also running very well and will fancy their chances.
Milldean Tally will also be making an appearance on Friday night, however she wont be making her way to traps, the John O'Flynn trained Oaks winner will be paraded during racing, so plenty to look forward to at Kilkenny Track on Friday Night
