Milldean Panther makes it eight wins from as many starts

A FEW issues became clear at Shelbourne Park on Saturday night. First, Shaneboy Fantasy and Peggys Style indicated they have a big future over six bends after impressing in the semi-finals of the Mannions Builders Supplies Open 750, while Milldean Panther showed yet again he is a greyhound of rare talent.

Milldean Panther, the sensationally fast son of College Causeway brought his career tally to eight wins from eight starts. After mistiming the start from trap four, he had to battle hard to turn in a challenging position.

Edging inwards on the run to the bend he took a couple of bumps before turning close to the pace on the rail. Priceless Spark entered the back straight with a narrow advantage, but then Milldean Panther went through the gears.
