THE O’Donnell Kennels in Killenaule are back in the headlines with young puppy Skip Soda winning a lot of admirers in the Festival Open Unraced Stake at Clonmel.

AFTER a stunning opening round effort Broadstrand Lad was promoted to clear favourite for the Tyrur McGuigan @ Stud Open 575 and his position in the market has been strengthened further with the withdrawal of Royal Patrol.

CABRA Noel and Razldazl Will are likely to dominate the betting for the Comerford Cakes National Puppy Stake at Shelbourne Park tonight, but a few challengers may emerge in the quarter- finals.

WITH €6,500 on offer to the winner, the final of the Razldazl Open Unraced 525 at Shelbourne Park is the most valuable prize up for decision this evening and fittingly there are a number of potential stars in the line up.
