Joshuas Prince gets the nap to take the fourth race at Curraheen, where the final of the Two Wheel Training A2 525 is the feature. As a January ’12 whelp with only six runs under his belt, he has clearly had his issues, but the few opportunities we have had to see him have indicated plenty of speed.

After a luckless run a week ago, when he was denied by the minimum margin, Droopys Oddysey came from last to first to set the standard in Saturday’s second round of the Barry’s Tea Open Tea, for trainer Fraser Black and the Diamonds Are Forever Syndicate.

Following in the paw-prints of 1990 winner Adraville Bridge and 2003 champ Nikita Billie, Midtown Raffa gave trainer Mossy O’Connor a third Laurels success with a thoroughly authoritative display in Saturday night’s decider at Curraheen Park.
