Shelbourne trials ahead of Saturday's Night Of Stars:

525yds
Holborn Junior 28.32, Droopys Jet 28.52, Razldazl Marilyn 28.60, Cathys Clown 28.64, Champagne Jackie 28.68, Airforce Duke 28.70, Aero Nemesis 28.81, Vanrooney 28.90.

350yds
All About Ya 18.83, Miss Pagan 18.90, Rockburst Pearl 18.96, Ballyhill Sub 19.00


Homeless Boy beat Ballymac Vic, on his comeback, a length last Saturday night, 28.41 and Farloe Trent beat North Bound and Airlie Dazzler in a blanket finish over 575yds, 31.46.

Seems Musical Gaga is definitely coming over and Locnamon Bridie looks set to have her final race of the season Saturday after all, on the back of her superb victory in the Irish St Leger over Tyrur Sugar Ray and Jaytee Hellcat

The entry really is excellent. Apart from dogs already mentioned: Bitches race should still be good despite the absence of injured Locnamon Bridie, as Kerrching says. Melodys Diamond, Rockburst Pearl, Tasmanic Jaxx.

Elsewhere, likely are Ardfert Thunder, Skywalker Farloe, Tyrur Sugar Ray, Glenanore Dancer with invasion of Exocet, Daddys Knowsbest, Sawpit Sensation and Droopys Ed Moses.

Four could be travelling over for the 850: Musical Gaga, Afew Dollars More, Aayamzabella and Castlehill Aris.

Probably missed some other big names, there are so many of them!

The highlight of last year's inaugural meeting Sparta Maestro v Ballymac Eske. This time it could be Ballymac Vic v Droopys Jet in the 550yds.

CANT SEE WHY THERE BE ANY ENGLISH IN 305,525 550 RACES FAR TO STRONG

CAN SEE ED MOSES GETTING A RUN 750 AND SEE 3 STAYERS ALL GETTING TOO

GOT 4 DOGS I WANT TO PLAY JUST WAITING TO SEE IF THE DRAW KIND

some intresting english runners

Seems i'm on my own, my mate said last year better too. Maybe no Slippery Robert and Derby winners (wasnt last year) but runners-up and every race great strength in depth every race, imo.

850 last year Future Boy, reckon this year's race better
Sprint Big Casino. Rate it much hotter now
Puppy races, quarters last year, semis this year, just as good
Bitches great Borna Gem last year and College Maybe. If Bridie had raced, better. Still got Rockburst Pearl.
575 Abbeyville Tipp and Isabels Boy. This year greatly harder for Tipp against Exocet, Hellcat etc
750 In-form White Soks Roks but that about it. Look at it now, record holder Airforce Duke, Shanless Becky and Ed Moses.
525 great last year until race stopped. Knockglass Billy was winning (Warhawk out with the washing) Billy still on card this year, like other participant Droopys Jet.
550 Ardfert Thunder won, on card again. Panther, Camas, North Bound (on card again) replaced by Vic, Homeless Boy, Farloe Skywalker and Van Rooney. Just as good, imo.
Okay, Sparta Maestro versus Ballymac Eske was exceptional but that didn't make it a better card.

Please tell me now last year was better and to get a life, please. Must surely be, at least, equal?

It is some novelty to have an all open race card on a Saturday night in Shelbourne!

Think its a great sprint and All About Ya could even win it. Watched Farloe Calvin early recently and that can sprint!

I just think the sprint should be for sprinters.

Ballymac Matthew won the Peggy Kelly, Knockglass Billy top class sprinter, Cloughtaney Gift in because he was runner up to Rioga in the Bar One. Savanna 2 SSO'S around Drumbo. Cluxtons Free -English raider. All about ya wins texacloth puppy derby 525 in Newbridge.

It's a super card and the place will be rocking.

If i'd backed Exocet for the Essex Vase, i'd be very annoyed. Been withdrawn when fav for a major competition before. After withdrawn from the Romford event, he soon trialled at Coventry to clear him for a crack at 10k Shelbourne. Should never have been entered for the Essex Vase so soon after the Eclipse, in the first place, imo
