The Droopys Cain A1 525 was one of five finals on Saturday night’s 12-race programme at Curraheen Park and Young Legends showed her class with a terrific display for trainer Pat Kiely and owners Master Jack and Master Bryan Kiely, Dungarvan.

Thankfully, the top class action on the greyhound front never seems to abate and in just a couple of weeks’ time we’ll have the opening round of the Tote Gold Cup.

BROADSTRAND Lad earned some deserved silverware when landing the odds in the final of the Tyrur Kennels Open 575 at Curraheen Park on Saturday night.

It really has been the most amazing start to the greyhound year. First we had the freeze-up and no racing at Shelbourne Park and other venues for a full month. Now we have the situation that because of many of our leading dogs lack full fitness, a prestigious event such as the Joe Dunne Memorial Puppy Stake has had to be put back a week in order to attract sufficient entries.
