Barry Drake

The €5,000 to the winner 1XBet Supersprint got off to a flying start at Curraheen Park on Saturday night.

Stonepark Browne (Malachi-Coolavanny Ella) went quickest on the clock when winning the fourth and final heat. Trained by Michael O'Donovan for owner Michael Sean O'Dwyer, the even-money favourite produced a quick start, but it was Droopys Apollo who held a narrow lead heading around the opening corners. Stonepark Browne railed well on the home straight, and he powered home to beat Droopys Apollo, by three-quarters of a length, in 17.65. Three lengths back to De Bull in third place.

In the opening heat, Tiermana Dream (Ballyhimikin Jet-Tiermana Jetty) scored for trainer Colm Fitzgerlald and owners the Zero Zero Syndicate. The 2-1 winner displayed nice speed into the opening corners, and the in-form tracker kept on strongly on the home straight to complete three straight wins. Ballymac Stud was second a length behind the winner. Hackney Scout three-quarters of a length back in third.

Heat three went the way of the front-running Microchip (Droopys Sydney-Clona Skye) as the 3-1 winner bounced out in front to lead all the way. Strong up front, it was a likeable performance, clocking 17.75, two lengths clear of Solo And Go. The same distance back to Ballycowen Archy in third.

Sogna Ancora (Grangeview Ten-Terezas Mendoza) battled gamely to deny Portrush Ben in the second heat, winning for trainer Jack Kennelly and owners the Swedish House Party Syndicate. The even-money winner was locked in a battle with Portrush Ben throughout, and the 2025 Sprinter of the Year found that bit more late on, winning by a head in 18.05. A length and a half back to Ridgemount Sky in third.

In the opener, Ballycowen Daisy (Ballymac Cashout-Peckies Flyer) impressed when winning for trainer Dean Harpur. A member of a top-class litter, the Debbie Doyle-owned runner displayed big early speed to make all, in 28.55, at odds of 2-1.

Sparta Calli (Callaway Pro Am-Daring Miggie) set the standard in round two of the Dynamic Force @ Stud A2/A3 Bitch Stake. Trained by Philip Gough for owners the P-G-Syndicate, the 5-2 winner showed huge speed to come from at least six lengths behind Ardrath Ali at halfway to win, in 28.49. A massive run from the exciting August puppy. Two and a half lengths back to Ardrath Ali in second. Deelish Robyn was third, five and a half lengths behind the second.

Trained by Graham Holland for the Slattery Family Syndicate, Danish Bubble (King Sheeran-Danish Bubble) completed back-to-back winning performances in heat two. The 4-6 favourite was a length and a half clear of Lulu Baby Spark, in 28.76. Two and a half lengths back to Flyers Hobbit.

In the care of Brendan O'Connell, Gaytime Susie (Droopys Sydney-Gaytime Tilly) caught the eye when winning heat three in 28.87. The 5-2 winner was a length clear of Turbine Tahiti, with two and a half lengths back to Ballydorgan One in third.

Princess Rosie (Ballymac Cashout-Peckies Flyer) made all the running to win the ninth, an A0, for trainer Kieran Lynch and owner Vincent O'Keeffe. The 6-4 winner held the fast finishing Steeple Rd Amber, by a neck, in 28.54. That's three straight wins for the in-form tracker.

In the closing race, Donishall Sam (Ballymac Cashout-Doolin Girls) came home in front to win for trainer Graham Holland and owner Michael Edward Young. The 4-5 winner always looked good up front, and the impressive winner clocked 31.24, three and a half lengths clear of Jade One.
