Irish eyes smiling at Wimbledon

IRISH eyes were smiling at Wimbledon on Saturday night as our grip on the Blue Square English Derby got even stronger.

Both semi finals saw Irish winners, while next week’s final will contain three Irish trained runners and one Irish owned runner.

Tyrur Laurel set the standard in the opening semi final when posting a fast 28.55 as he overhauled Kryptonite. The latter set the pace to the second turn, but the fast starting Laurel was always close and he pounced on the back straight.
