DROOPYS MAL and Rusheen Honcho will clash in the second round of the Puppy Derby at Harold's Cross on Friday night. The pair will dominate the betting in heat 2 and should fight out the finish.

DROOPYS RODGER, a son of English Derby winner Droopys Scholes and also trained by Ian Reilly, smashed the track record when winning the opening second round heat of the Bar-One Racing Irish Sprint Cup over Dundalk's 400 yards on Friday.
