ALL ABOUT SENAHEL BEAUTY IN THE SEMI FINALS OF THE CORK CUP

Barry Drake

Called in from the reserves, SENAHEL BEAUTY delivered a career-best performance in Saturday night's opening semi-final of the TIME Greyhound Nutrition Cork Cup.

Jason Lenane has this lady in superb form in recent times and she caused a major shock when leading all the way at odds of 8-1. Flying from traps to storm around the opening turns in front, in truth, the outcome was never in any doubt. A top-class performance, clocking 28.61 and coming home two and a half lengths clear of Parkview Sprite. Three lengths back to Mister Myles in third place.

In the second semi-final, Riverside Popsie scored for Graham Holland and Shenna Murphy. The 1-2 favourite took up the running at the opening bend and he kicked for home on the back straight. Staying on well up front, the impressive winner came home four lengths clear of Oll The Doll, in 28.81. A length back to Drive On Bono in third place.

In the €1,000 to the winner Harrington & O'Donovan Memorial A4 Final, it was Curragh Socks who put on a brilliant front-running winning performance for Michael O'Keeffe. All about early speed, the well-supported 3-1 winner made no mistakes with a lovely all-the-way winning effort. Just holding on late on, the popular winner beat Turbine Tynamite, by a length, in 29.08.
