COLLEGE Causeway wrote a piece of history when setting an incredible new track record in the first round of the Paddypower.com Irish Derby at Shelbourne last night.

Last year’s Irish Derby finalist Headleys Bridge has been withdrawn from Saturday’s heats of the Boylesports.com Champion Stakes at Shelbourne and he will be replaced by first reserve Slick Sioux.

MORE than double the number of required entries was received for the Boylesports.com Champion Stakes which is set to commence at Shelbourne Park on Saturday.

CASHMANS Bookmakers will again be sponsoring the Laurels at Curraheen Park this year.
