Ballymac Ariel looks like a real superstar. Easily ran past Explosive Boy in the Irish Derby round 3. 29.07,That must be near on or track record time. Interested to hear from you Irish folk, about both these greyhounds?
Four bitches into the semi finals Scooby Princess, Singalong Sally, Susie Saphire and Ballymac Ariel. It would be fantastic to see one of these win the final. Also, the only Owner Trainer left in, is Andrew Murray with Gortkelly Nestor. Going to be a very exciting semi final.

Yes he was beaten half a length by Ariel. Both in 2nd semi he has trap 3 and Ariel trap 4.

Ballymac Ariel gave Explosive Boy windburn. Beat him by over 4 lengths. Winning time 29.07. Track record is 28.99. But like his name, his early section must have been quick.

The only way you can watch it Mark is through this link. Youll need to place a 1 euro bet on the race you want to watch and then you can watch that race live.
The only way you can get on that site is using a VPN. As they dont accept our local.
It al works a treat, did it last year. Worth the effort too...Shelbourne serves up great action!

Thanks mate, appreciate that. Looking forward to it, as I have a bitch that matches up nicely with Explosive Boy.

No worries at all! Yeah, hes a very interesting stud prospect. As his Surf Lorian sire line has done very well around the world! And Surf Lorian shows up in plenty of studs to have sired some top ones! Best of luck!!

I find it particularly interesting that the 2 leading contenders, both Ballymac Ariel and Explosive Boy are grandchildren of Surf Lorian through different sons of Definate Opinion and from Blonde Slippy's damline
We have quite a number of talented Kinloch Brae daughters here in Australia, you would think that any of these would be lining up to go to Explosive Boy when he gets here
Then there is the elements of the mating that produced 2015 Irish Derby winner Ballymac Matt also from Blonde Slippy's damline

That Definate Opinion looks like a super dog. I actually get a xx to Surf Lorian with my bitch to Explosive Boy. But the good thing about that, the xx mainly throws to Surf Lorians dam side.
Do you have questions about greyhound racing?
