Another bloodbath for punters as shocks continue in Laurels

IT was another bloodbath for punters in the second round of the Cashmans Bookmakers Laurels at Curraheen Park on Saturday night.

The first three favourites were beaten at 5/4, 5/4 and 8/11 and although two clear favourites and a joint favourite won in three of the remaining five heats, the damage had been done early.

Among the shocks on the night were the elimination of two dogs quoted at less than 10/1 after the first round - An Tochar Blue (7/1) and Allmighty Jack (8/1) in addition to Dotland Hitman (16/1). Cashmans reacted by leaving Slip The Lark as their 5/1 favourite followed by Tyrur Laurel (8/1 from 16/1) Kryptonite (9/1 from 8/1), Ballymac Tony (unchanged at 12/1) and Cabra Cool (12/1 from 25/1). They then go 14/1 Callums Lad, Cabra Boss, 16/1 Solinus, Side Bet and 20/1 bar.
