Milldean Panther returns with 29.55 trial at Shelbourne

Milldean Panther, the Shelbourne 525 yards track record holder, returned to the track yesterday morning for a trial over the classic 550 yards distance.

His time of 29.55 thrilled trainer John O’Flynn who confirmed the unbeaten star puppy is now on target for his first target of the season, the SIS Live Tote Gold Cup on Saturday week.

Said O’Flynn: “I have to say I was thrilled with him. He probably tired a little and appeared to drift a little wide off the last bend but it was his first run since early November and he will certainly come on for the run”.
