There were upsets in the featured Rakes of Mallow Stake, the all-aged stake and the Derby Trial Stake at Mallow yesterday.

There are people in coursing the length and breadth of Ireland who have been walking dogs for decades, mile after mile day after day in hail, rain, wind, snow and sleet, in hopes of winning that elusive Derby or Oaks Trial Stake and with it, that coveted pass to the annual National Coursing Meeting in Clonmel.

THE shocks and surprises of the previous two days continued on the final day of the National Coursing Meeting in Clonmel yesterday where Kingsmill Dynamo, bred by Sean Bleeks, trained by Aidan Roche in Gorey and owned by the Roche-Fitzpatrick Syndicate from Arklow, Co. Wicklow captured the Boylesport.com Derby.

POWERSTOWN Park punters, already reeling from a host of shock results in the classics, will this morning be greeted with the disappointing news that favourite Coolcastle Point (Trajectory-Wake Up Time), is a shock withdrawal from the Derby.
