Light can dazzle Guinness rivals

THERE is sure to be a huge buzz at Curraheen Park tonight for the final of the prestigious Guinness Trophy and with the six finalists trained to the minute a thrilling race is in prospect.

The betting suggests it’s down to a duel between the Owen McKenna trained pair, Droopys Agassi and Boherduff Light, but the field is dripping with quality and a shock could spring from anywhere - not least Cloney’s Rocket priced at a staggering 33-1 in trap one.

After the semis, I was ready to make Droopys Agassi the final selection but on closer inspection Boherduff Light makes more appeal on the basis he has a better chance of a clear run on the inside.
