Brilliant Droopys Jet lays down English Derby marker

Rarely have we approached a season with greater expectations than this year.

Despite everything, there are such positive vibes and the main reason is the plethora of young stars that will be leading the classic chase.

While the sensational Milldean Panther didn’t leave his kennel on Saturday for a planned trial due to the weather doubts — he will be trialled next Saturday — a new star was hailed as Droopys Jet produced a brilliant performance in winning the final of the Joe Dunne Memorial Puppy 525 at Shelbourne Park.
