Walker to give Waterford master class

THE Waterford Masters is the highlight of the weekend’s greyhound racing action and it provides an opportunity for Dream Walker to gain a modicum of compensation for his near miss in the Derby.

Nothing could make up for the anguish of being nabbed on the line in a pulsating climax to the premier classic, but there is plenty of kudos and the not inconsiderable sum of €13,000 to be earned.

The Tom O’Neill-trained dog broke well in last weekend’s semi-final but he seemed to lose a little ground racing into the turn. Somehow, he managed to turn unscathed and he turned his position into an ultimately quite impressive victory.
