Skywalker shows his class

All at Kilkenny Track would like to congratulate Skywalker Puma for his great win in the Derby

Skywalker Puma will be making an appearance at Kilkenny Track this Friday Night. He will be paraded up the track during racing and a presentation will be made to connections in recognition of his great Derby win and the fact that he won the Red Mills Champion Juvenile in Kilkenny Track earlier in the year. The Red Mills Champion Juvenile was a brand new Sweepstake run in 2012 and what a result we got.
We were hoping for a top class entry, in truth we didnt expect to get the Derby Winner out of it. It continues a great record of Derby Winners who featured prominently at Kilkenny Track such as "He Said So", "Tyrur Rhino", "Cool Performance" and "Like A Shot" to name but a few. Heres hoping that The Red Mills Champion Juvenile will attract such a high calibre of dog next year.

On The racing front we have the 4 Quarter Finals of the 2012 Langton House Hotel Derby. Sharon Hurley stole the show last week with 2 winners and will be looking to continue that run of form this Friday Night. Both of her greyhounds have drawn the red Jacket. However one could look foolish trying to pick an outright winner at this stage with the likes of High St Kingo, Priceless Sky, Uncle Eoin, Mickys Trickster, Frontier Sound & Locnamon Angel all still in the mix.
