Rails-loving Rockview a sporting bet

IN last weekend’s second round of the Pat Hennerty Sales Irish Laurels at Curraheen Park there weren’t any shocks that couldn’t have been predicted and the result is a quarter-final line-up that looks no easier to solve than at the first round stage.

Rockchase Bullet produced a remarkable performance in victory last Saturday but just how effective his modus operandi will prove in the latter stages of the competition will be somewhat revealed tonight. His is not the worst draw of all, but equally he is also not guaranteed a clear run and will need all his guile to qualify to the next stage.

The bookmakers recognise this and it is reflected in odds of 5-1 to win the stake.
