GRI
Winning trainer Westmeath’s David Murray scooped up the impressive hound after he raced home to claim victory in the Bar One Racing Irish Sprint Cup on Tuesday evening.
The trap 5 hound claimed an early lead and kept up this advantage to win the top prize with a 2- and three-quarter length distance and the fastest time yet of 20.80! A time not seen in the prestigious race in 20 years!
Carrick Aldo, owner Thomas Glynn, trainer David Murray and all the connections.
The classic race was the feature race of an action-packed day at the Co. Louth dual racetrack. Racegoers were entertained with an afternoon of superb horse racing and an evening of top-class greyhound racing. With a kid’s entertainment area throughout the day and Kacey D band playing in between sports there was certainly something for everyone. The dual race day was kindly sponsored by Bookmaker Bar One Racing.
