Razldazl Duke continues a great tradition in Open Unraced Stake at Clonmel

This competition never fails to attract some of the brightest talents in the business, and Razldazl Duke, amongst others, has already ensured that tradition continues. In the opening round everything went wrong for the March pup but he did everything right in the second round, running loose to record a ten-length victory in a flying 28.37.
While it would be gilding the lily to suggest the track was slow, it certainly wasn’t fast and that makes this run all the more remarkable. The time was exactly two lengths outside the track record set by former Munster Puppy Cup winner Colorful Champ and equalled by Amazing Dude during last year’s Produce Stakes - and yet this was just the youngster’s second start. Given the right conditions it’s safe to assume he could shed enough off the clock to threaten that mark.
