Graham Holland lands fifth Laurels with less-fancied High Trend

The two favourites, Jacktavern Bolt and Carrick Aldo, came together at the first bend and never managing to get involved thereafter

Barney O'Hare, CEO of Bar One Racing Presents the Irish Greyhound Laurels Final Trophy to trainer Graham Holland and owners RTC Syndicate & Eugene Buckley after High Trend won at Curraheen Park in a time of 28.31.

Graham Holland was responsible for half the field in Saturday night’s final of the Irish Laurels at Curraheen Park and it was the outsider of the three, High Trend, who landed the spoils to give the Golden trainer a fifth win in the feature.

In fact, it was the three outsiders of the field who dominated from start to finish, with the two favourites, Jacktavern Bolt and Carrick Aldo, coming together at the first bend and never managing to get involved thereafter.
