Barry Drake

BANTER BOOST, trained by Owen McKenna for Peadar O’Dwyer and Sarah O’Dwyer, set the standard in the opening round of the €5,000 to winner Deise Plastering Novice 730 at Kilcohan Park on Saturday night. 

Sent off the well fancied 1-2 favourite, the impressive winner was out the back early but he really hit top gear when hitting the winning line with a lap to go. 

Taking control on the turns for home and he galloped clear to win easily. A 40.98 winning run, six and a half lengths clear of Sunset Shannon.

The 2-1 winner exploded from traps and he was soon nicely clear. In truth, the outcome was never in any doubt. All one way traffic up front, it was a convincing winning effort, clocking 41.27, seven lengths clear of Lemon Dot. 

ON ICE

In the second heat, Priceless On Ice scored for Bryan and Kathleen Murphy.

The Paul Hennessy trained runner finished with a flourish to score, in 41.36, a length clear of Ballinabola Emma. 

RAN ON WELL

In heat four, Mongys Bella came home in front for Michael Spilllane.

The 3-1 shot ran on well in the closing stages to return to winning ways. A 41.35 winning effort, four and a half lengths clear of Mission Control.
