OWEN MC KENNA, the son of a greyhound racing living legend, proved himself a chip off the old block by sending out Boherduff Light to win the Cashmans Bookmakers Irish Laurels in front of a record crowd of just under 3,000 at Curraheen Park on Saturday night.

THE minute the draw was made for the 35,000 to the winner Cashmans Irish Laurels final, the debate on the possible outcome began, and has raged all week.

MINEOLA FARLOE has hardened to 7/4 (from 3/1) with the sponsors after turning in another very impressive performance when winning the first quarter-final of the Cashmans Irish Laurels at Curraheen Park on Saturday night.
