Causeway lights up Derby with sensational 29.21 effort

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.

His time of 29.21 took a whopping 21 spots off the old record set in the Derby final of 2002 by Bypass Byway.

When the Mike and Vincent McKenna owned and Pat Buckley trained College Causeway flashed out of traps and was clear around the bend from Challengingtime, we knew we were in for a special performance. He was simply dazzling as he powered his way to a sensational time and an eight length winning margin from Challengingtimes with Coolavanny Ace in third.
