Maestro can make his mark in battle of the generations

DESPITE the gloomy economic climate, it has been a tremendous year for greyhound racing.

The major end-of-season pick up has been inspired by the majestic performances from the young pups, led by the imperious Milldean Panther with superb support from the likes of Sparta Maestro, Dear Pa, Razldazl Will, Callums Flash.

Now we look forward to the Comerford Cakes National Puppy Stake at Shelbourne and this prestigious competition is very much the major classic indicator. Entries close on Monday and the plan is to split the first round over Thursday and Saturday nights next week.
