Panther retired for the winter

MILLDEAN Panther was yesterday withdrawn from the Comerford Cakes National Puppy Stake at Shelbourne Park and has been retired for the winter.

A limited number of straws from the young tracking sensation will be available over the winter months.

Milldean Panther had been the first entry received for the big puppy competition which is due to commence next Thursday but John O’Flynn Snr, father of the trainer of the same name, contacted Shelbourne Park yesterday morning to withdraw the dog from the event.
