Light Laurels test for Marco

IRISH Derby fourth Droopys Marco and Derby Consolation winner Mineola Farloe are 5/1 joint favourites with the sponsors after the draw for the Cashmans Bookmakers Irish Greyhound Laurels was made at Curraheen Park yesterday.

Both will be in action on Saturday night and while Mineola Farloe faces a fairly straightforward task from trap five in heat 7, Droopys Marco has been drawn against Guinness Trophy winner Boherduff Light in the following heat.

Boherduff Light, the track record holder at Youghal and Kilkenny, is one of four Owen McKenna runners in the classic as he attempts to complete a Derby/Laurels double.
