KILKENNY SALES PREVIEW

Kilkenny Sales Preview:

LOT 1 EFFERNOGUE SNOWY Smart trial on June 28th when winning in 29.86 around Kilkenny. Looks sure to improve and will be generating plenty of interest among buyers.
LOT 2 TINRYLAND PYRO Genuine lady who recovered well after stumbling at traps in her only trial to date to qualify in 30.43. Well related to some smart trackers and open to plenty of improvement.
LOT 3 MORE DRAMA Got baulked at traps in her opening race and never got to land a blow. Certainly better than what her card suggests but has a lot more to offer.
LOT 4 CHANTILLY LAD Eye catching trial July 10th when winning in 29.98 and looks open to further improvement. One for the notebook.
LOT 5 EFFERNOGUE GEM Beaten in her only trial and with age on her side will improve. Comrades look to have plenty of ability and this could be the value buy on the day.
LOT 6 TRA BHUI Won her opening race in 29.71 around Thurles and at just 18 months old this lady can only improve. Hailing from one of Irelands top dam lines she will also make a valuable brood in time.
LOT 7 COLLA DEBS Beautiful looking Ballymac Best bitch who is going the right way. From her opening trial in May she continues to improve and was unlucky to be caught close home last time out in Limerick clocking 29.4& and it’s only a matter of time before she is on the winners podium. Ticking all the right boxes for me. Closely related to Champion sprinter Flashing Willow dual track record holder and classic winner.
LOT 8 IMPORT DUTY Out of the ten time winning dam Faithful Linda this 75lbs January 23 son of Bull Run Bolt has one sprint trial on his card. One certainly to keep close eye on.
LOT 9 LACKEN RUBY Caught the eye qualifying over the sprint distance in a smart 16.93 in June. Sure to have plenty of followers.
LOT 10 FAIRY FLOWER. Career best last time out when third clocking 29.82 around Thurles. Noted staying on best in her races so stamina isn’t an issue. Will be plenty of fun days ahead with this lady.
LOT 11 LACKEN FLYER Comrade of above two lots. Only one trial to date but has shown she has ability and will be popular amongst buyers.
LOT 12 POPULAR BONNIE Has had two races to date but has met trouble on each occasion.  Open to a lot better than her form suggests.
LOT 13 BALLYTADGH MULAN Another young lady who has shown plenty of ability in trials to date but met trouble in her two races. Bound to learn from this and will be a really fun addition to any kennel. Smart sprint trial in Newbridge where she clocked 17.98 merits respect.
LOT 14 MOONLIT GIRL Won her debut race in a smart 29.71 around Clonmel. Still well graded and will give new connections loads of fun nights out.
LOT 15 KNOCKROE ROSE Winner in Kilkenny first time out clocking 29.51 narrowly beaten in sweepstake final last weekend when finishing very strongly could make a really smart middle distance lady. She’s one for my shortlist.

LOT 17 POPULAR CLEANA Form to date is moderate but has shown pace in her races despite being green.
