Rose of Tralee

Nice to see Melodys Pat get compensation for getting knocked out of the Irish Derby when produced a stunning record breaking performance in winning the 25,000 Euro Lee Strand Paddy O’Sullivan Spring Twilight Race of Champions at Tralee.

The racing looked top class at the Oakview venue. I was interested to note Droopys Arsene running on strong to finish second. This brindle World Class dog could be worth a small each way interest in the Irish Derby if entered. Whilst he probably doesn’t have the class of some of the big guns he has some solid Shelbourne form and reminds me of Trey United who reached the same Final.

Blue Amarillo full brother Line of Fire takes his chance in yet another Final this weekend. This weekend it’s the Kerrys Irish St ledger at Limerick. Sadly he has got drawn in trap 3 so he probably won’t be able to show his best. What a dream dog to own. If Belle’s pups are any where near this quality they could well cost a fortune. With two litters on the ground to Boherduff Light and Droopys Maldini they are exciting times ahead.
