Hare wins the day for Glin syndicate in Derby

GO Home Hare, the property of the Mel Syndicate from Glin, Co. Limerick captured the Boylesports.com Derby at Clonmel yesterday when he defeated an injured Blueview Sam by a wide margin in the decider.

There were no surprises in the quarter-finals of the Derby with India Rio having a bye when Belated Birthday was withdrawn, Go Home Hare then led all the way to the escape when putting out Prime Example by eight lengths.

Solid Monk got the better of a gallant Skellig Wish, who had been hard run in the opening three rounds, by a length and a half for the only turn while the overnight favourite Blueview Sam saw off Aftertiming, when coming from behind, by three lengths.
