No easy task as Joker attempts to resume winning ways

THE Hegarty Bookmakers 600 dominates the home racing scene this week but there will also be huge interest in the progress of our numerically very strong team which will be on duty in the second round of the Williamhill.com English Derby at Wimbledon.

It will be another super Saturday at Shelbourne where the Hegarty semi-finals will be backed up by the finals of the Olympic Bee Puppy Oaks and the ECC Timber Open 550 as well as a could of bitch contests in preparation for the Oaks which starts in a few weeks.

The opening heat of the 600 promises to be a real cracker with Thurlesbeg Joker attempting to resume winning ways after running a big race in defeat last weekend. However, he faces a real test against the likes of Tyrur Chris, Westmead Bolt and Tyrur Brennan.
