Ballymac Razl dazzles Derby rivals with 29.64 effort

THE Ladbrokes.com Irish Derby got off to a tremendous start at Shelbourne Park last night with some fabulous performances.

The talk of the place was the performance of Liam Dowling’s young bitch Ballymac Razl as she stormed home in a time of 29.64, joint best of the night with Makeshift.

The first of the Ruth winners was Makeshift as he turned in a brilliant effort in the opening heat. He broke fast and opened a lead over Uncle Eoin by the bend where English challenger Droopys Greg was in third.
