Farloe Blitz continued his serene progress through the Greyhound & Pet World and Odds On Dog Food Supersprint with a wide-margin victory in the first semi-final on Saturday night at Curraheen Park.

The final of the Willie Kenny Memorial A5 525 returned a fittingly classy performance from Local Student, who landed the spoils for owner Patrick Sheehy, Tralee, and trainer John O’Sullivan.

The Makeshift Southern Oaks is the feature race on the calendar at Youghal Track and the large crowd expected to gather at the east Cork venue for this evening’s final will enjoy free entry to the track thanks to the Track Supporters’ Club and Kearney Catering.
