Anyone know how many pick 6 winning tickets?

23/02/2013
There was a fine turn-out at Shelbourne on Saturday night for a programme that featured the second round heats of the €20,000 SIS Live Gold Cup.

We witnessed a quite amazing performance as Aidan Denton’s Kereight King gave an exhibition of pace and power to win by a wide margin from Camas in a fantastic time of 27.82.



THIRSTY FOR ROBERT

The competition got off to a most exciting start as we had a three-way battle all the way in the first heat with victory going to the Robert Gleeson trained Stay Thirsty (Royal Impact/ Forest Swallow) which got up close home for a narrow victory over Money Talks.

From traps it was Money Talks and Ashfield Impact but the former showed the superior pace to lead into the bend where he swung wide and hampered Ashfield Impact. Into the back Money Talks led by a length from Ashfield Impact and Stay Thirsty and it was virtually three in a line at the third bend. Ashfield was closed off and Money Talks led turning for home. But Stay Thirsty now proved the stronger and he hit the front yards from the line to win by half a length from Money Talks in 28.62 with Ashfield Impact a length and a half third.



PURSUIT IN A THRILLER

The second heat produced a terrific battle between Hot Pursuit and Isabels Boy with the lead swapping on a few occasions and with Hot Pursuit prevailing in the final strides.

Hot Pursuit actually led from traps but Isabels Boy then produced a big burst of pace to lead on the bend and he had an advantage of two lengths heading into the back straight.

Hot Pursuit closed down the back with Uncle Eoin now in third and the gap was down to a length off the final bend. Isabels Boy was still in front but the Paul Hennessy trained Hot Pursuit (Big Daddy Cool/ Linger) powered home to snatch victory in the last strides over Isabels Boy in a brilliant 28.28. It was then four and a half lengths to Uncle Eoin in third.



KEREIGHT IN A BIG RUSH

The betting was close on this as Camas closed favourite ahead of Kereight King and you could have 6-1 bar the pair.

Once traps opened it was 6-1 bar Kereight King as Aidan Denton’s son of Droopys Maldini and Quam Celerrime took an absolute flier from the four box, immediately moved inwards and flew clear to the bend from Camas with Skywalker Kate in third.

There must have five lengths between them as Kereight King hugged the rail ahead of the wide running Camas. The latter always flies down the far side but he could make no impression on the leader and it was obvious that we were watching a special performance. Kereight King was still in full flight as he broke the ray five and a half lengths in front of Camas in a sensational 27.82 with Cabra Millie four and a half lengths third.



THUNDER STRIKES LATE

The final heat had just five runners in the absence of the injured Cambushmore but it still proved to be a thriller with the Frances O’Donnell trained Ardfert Thunder (Droopys Vieri/ Soviet Cheyenne) getting up in literally the final strides to pip Priceless Sky by a neck in 28.33.

Priceless Sky got away fast and on the inside and led up from Coolykereen Imp which actually maintained a straight run to the corner. Ardfert Thunder was third on the bend and he did his best work down the back to be a two length second into the third bend. Priceless Sky was still going strong up front and looked a likely winner turning for home with a length in hand. But Ardfert Thunder came home powerfully to win by a neck from Priceless and it was then three lengths to Lolos Joe in third.

ALLEN THE SWORDS MASTER

The big supporting race on the card was the final of the Swords Prince at Stud A1 525 and the big crowd witnessed a very fine performance from the Marie Gilbert trained Allen Master (Forest Master/ Forest Daisy) as he came from third place to win in 28.66.

It was a pretty level start with favourite Allen Master well away as was Milan Castle. However on the run up Ballymac Niall displayed the best pace to lead on the corner and he was closely pursued into the back by Milan Master. Ballymac moved wide down the far side, carrying Milan Castle wide with him.

A big gap appeared on the inside and the Peter Comerford and Tony Moore owned Allen Master gladly accepted the invitation. He moved up strongly to take it up on the inside on the third bend and then ran on strongly up the straight to win by two lengths from Milan Castle with Airport Captain staying on strongly to be a length and a half third.



FLYING HOMELESS

There was a sensational run in the Weston Hockey Club Open 550 from the Aidan McVeigh trained Homeless Boy (Crash/ Fort Hill Girl) as he powered home a most impressive winner in 29.36. He had shown big promise in recent outings and he certainly lived up to expectations this time.

Homeless Boy flew out of the inside box and was lengths clear of North Bound to the bend with Murralli Junior in third. Try as the pursuers might, they could make no impression whatever on Homeless Boy and he powered home a five length winner from North Bound in one of the best times ever recorded for the distance.

Larry Dunne is building a a really strong team at present and Slippery Ted (Top Honcho/ Kildallon Maid) looks another very talented recruit for the county Louth based handler. The powerful galloper produced a career best effort to win the second race, an A1 event, in very impressive fashion.

After dictating the pace to the turn, he was briefly headed by Holborn Cooper. But Slippery Ted powered his way back to the front before the third turn and duly drew right away for a facile seven length verdict over Brother Bob in a magnificent 28.39.   

Last year’s Laurels finalist Tinas Nova (Big Daddy Cool/ Sunnyside Tina) showed that he is going to be a major force again this year as he produced a big run in the Kevin Fowler Open 525. He broke fast and just took the bend from Clonad Girl.

Tinas Nova increased his advantage out of the second bend and had the race sewn up by the third bend. Rockburst Delta moved through into second place off the fourth bend but Tinas Nova raced away to win by two lengths from Rockburst in 28.50 with Clonad Girl a promising half length third.



TED FOR DAVY

There was quite a start to proceedings with Pat McCarthy’s Woodmancote Ted producing a fine front running display on his way to a fabulous 28.57 victory in the final of an A3 final.

The Davy Reynolds trained son of Head Bound and Ringtown Blue assumed control early and was never under threat as he came home three lengths clear of Tasmanic Jaxx.

Eabhas Fantasy, owned by the Still Dreaming Syndicate, seemed to have a favourite’s chance in the fifth race and he duly obliged after producing a professional display of front running. The Seamus Graham trained son of Premier Fantasy and Kingsmill beauty claimed his fourteenth career success by two and a half lengths from the always second Fiancee Alsation in 28.58.

A great regular on the Dublin circuit, Denis Hurley provided the winner of the third race Rushwee Record (Eskimo Jack/ Selecta Venus) dominated from the early yards. Record had an ideal draw on the fence and once leading from the corner he was never in any danger of being reeled in. Pulling right away, Rushwee Record came home seven lengths to the good over Daring Hawk in 28.73.

Fast Fit Henry provided John Quinn and Niall Dunne with a winner in the fourth race. The son of Astronomic and Parkside Edel was always to the fore and he dug in up the home straight to repel the persistent challenge Thats My Girl by a half length in 28.83.

thought homeless run was top draw with a time
Than I saw seb 28 run
Take it shelbourne going a road still!
Other that or today's greyhounds have more legs than a spider!!!

It just that shel the best track
I know hand on heart 28.20- 28-40 was
proper dog time 2-3 years ago
I don't like change I'm one of life plodders

First 1/4, Dont think much between the first three but doubt the outright winner there.
Second 1/4, Isabels Boy screwed from the traps but showed very good early pace. However, Hot Pursuit wasnt going away and eventually nailed the leader.
Third 1/4, Camas did nothing wrong, it was just Kereight King flew out, maintained a relentless gallop and was simply amazing. Think 27.82 is a new track record, wasnt it previously 27.92 by Paradise Madison, but i could be wrong here?
Fourth 1/4, Priceless Sky did his running and although a fine effort, think he will need to keep going better to hoist the trophy. Arfert Thunder got the run and pipped Sky close home

Thanks. Still thought it a fantastic run by Kereight, fast going, lumps in hand on the clock if maintaining it

There was only 18 units on Priceless Sky

Thanks for the race summarys woodmanchester, but fairly sure we have all seen the replays. Priceless Sky will have to go better "to hoist the trophy". Think it's foolish to rule out a greyhound with disposable thumbs from winning this, he is obviously a bit special.

"disposable thumbs" that's a new one :)

Following his sensational run last weekend, Kereight King is the new favourite for the SIS Live Gold Cup in advance of Saturday night’s semi-finals at Shelbourne.


Both spoilsports and Paddies make him the 7-2 favourite with Camas next best at 4-1. In all, six of the remaining twelve contenders are priced in single figures.

The best prices available with **** and Power are:

7-2 Kereight King

4 Camas

6 Ardfert Thunder, Isabels Boy

8 Priceless Sky

9 Hot Pursuit

14 Ashfield Impact, Cabra Millie, Stay Thirsty

16 Money Talks

25 Uncle Eoin

40 Ashfield Impact

Will the 9.45 be a mess
123 all got pace early
thought 2 clear one last week didn't happen !
do I try again?
one traps again could take 23 out as it moves off!
So thunder and thirsty big runners! 9:2 12:1
need to get back into Irish vids for the Easter cup

Kereight King has a tough draw tonight, if he smashes out like last week he will be fine but he may struggle to go around in front. In round 1 he was drawn inside of Ashfield Impact and they where side by side at the corner and he went around as he had the inside line, they're the opposite way around tonight. He also has Hot Pursuit on his outside who has been flying from boxes in recent weeks and will be edging in as well. This will be some race to the corner.
If i was forced to play i'd go with Ashfield Impact @ 6s, he looks the best value to me. Priceless Sky has not being flying the lids in the competition [got a dream solo to the corner last week] and if Ashfield Impact can make a good start i think he can take the rails from him run up. Even then though if Kereight King followed him around he would more than likely beat him.

No aggro, he was sick all day

Average away never rose a gallop

North Bound 9/4 think Spoilsports would want to sack whoever came up with that price
