Ballymac Matt continues to dominate at Irish Greyhound Derby

Three weeks down, three more to go in the Boylesports Irish Greyhound Derby and, of the first half of the classic, one thing is certain: Ballymac Matt has been dominant.

Liam Dowling’s dog, with his new MO in-tow, has taken the Derby by the scruff of the neck, winning each of his outings with little trouble. Drawn in red each time, he popped out, made all, and posted a time in the mid-29.40s.

The 29.44 he recorded this time was, for the third consecutive week, the fastest of the round and, the draw for quarter-finals is such, we can expect more of the same next weekend.
