MEMPHIS BACK ON TUNE AT SHELBOURNE

Ian Fortune

There were fine displays in each of the three finals up or decision at Shelbourne Park on Friday night with the headlines going to Phoenix Memphis as he produced a flawless effort in the final of the Three Nights Racing @Shelbourne A1 525.

Sent to traps the 4-5 favourite, the Ian Reilly trained son of Droopys Sydney and Swift Jezebel, who has raced in hotter company in the past, returned to his very best. Flashing from the inside box, the Keogh-Cunningham-Reilly Syndicate owned tracker would go on to dominate in a ten length success over Beechwood Moss in 28.20.

MISTY MAKES ALL

As Southwind Wild was capturing the Irish Sprint Cup at Dundalk for Pat Buckley, his kennel companion Malabar Misty was emerging a comfortable winner of the final of the Barking Buzz A2 decider.

Owned by the Malabar Syndicate, the daughter of Ballymac Cashout and Ballymac Sanjose would dictate throughout after a slick exit before emerging a comfortable three length scorer over Rathmoyle Dasher in 28.52.

JET POWERED BALLYGOGUE

Ballygogue Jet emerged a tremendous winner of the Bet With The Tote A3 Dual Distance Final.

The longer run to the corner over the 575yd trip really played to her strengths with the daughter of Priceless Jet and Ballygogue Luna assuming control at the head of affairs.

Trained by Roy Ruddy for Paul Dotters and Pat McQuaid, Ballygogue Jet would keep finding out front to comfortably repel the challenge of Grouchos Champ by two and a half lengths in 31.23.
