Fresher College can remain unbeaten

The College Causeway team will be anxious in advance of tomorrow’s Paddypower.com Irish Derby semi-finals at Shelbourne. A year ago their star tracker was a very strong favourite in advance of the semis but trouble down the far side saw him bid farewell to his prospects.

Things can work out much better this time around and the College can maintain his unbeaten record in this year’s classic with another powerful performance in the opening heat.

The Mike and Vincent McKenna owned College Causeway is a much fresher dog this year, largely due to his prolonged absence since the Ladbrokes 600 final, during which time he was on stud duty in the Droopys Kennels. If anything, he has come back an even better tracker and his lit up this Derby with his outstanding performances.
