FOUR ON THE BOUNCE FOR BALLYMAC KAMALA

    Barry Drake

    BALLYMAC KAMALA, for the kennel of Liam Dowling, made it four wins on the bounce when winning Friday night’s feature at the Kingdom Greyhound Stadium, the €3,250 to the winner Friends of University Hospital Kerry A2 Final.

    Just like previous winning performances, the 4-6 favourite came away racing and went on to make every yard of the running. It was another performance of the highest order and the November puppy rates a real prospect going forward.
    Ardrahan Hijackr kept the winner honest throughout, however, the Ballymac winner built up an early advantage and that was maintained all the way home. Displaying plenty of speed up front, Ballymac Kamala came home two and a half lengths clear of Ardrahan Hijackr, in a top class, 28.19.

    DENIS MURPHY (UNIQUE) MEMORIAL A5 STAKES
    Buckos Belle landed the €1,250 to the winner final of the Denis Murphy (Unique) Memorial A5 Stakes for trainer Gerry Griffin and owners Damien and Gary Pepper.

    The 4-1 shot produced a flying start to lead, driving a great opening corner, the November was soon four clear of Seven O Seven. Kiskeam Alice put on a huge finish, but the early paced winner held on to win, by half a length, in 29.11.
