DRUMCROW IS NO LEMON

Ian Fortune

The feature of Tuesday’s action at Shelbourne Park was the final of the Upcoming Events A4 525 and Roy Ruddy’s Drumcrow Lemon said goodbye to graded company for a while with a massive front running display as she clocked a rapid 28.48 on a track rated .20 fast.

Unlike her semi-final victory when coming from off the pace, the daughter of Drumcrow Darwin and Lemon Kerrie was sharpest at boxes and always in complete command. Mikeys Black attempted to stay close in second, but Drumcrow Lemon was simply too strong and pulled away in the closing yards to win by seven lengths from her pursuer.
