Bally good show

BALLYMAC SETANTA (9.24) can crown what has been a glorious event so far for his owner and breeder Liam Dowling by completing an unbeaten run through the 2025 BarOne Racing Irish Greyhound Laurels at Curraheen Park, Cork.

Tonight's 525yd final is the richest race in the UK and Ireland with €30,000 to the winner and over €60,000 in total event prize money - and the legendary English and Irish Derby-winning handler can take a large chunk of that given he fields three finalists.

Preference is for youngster Ballymac Setanta who set a track record in the quarterfinals and can make all, although clearing litter brother Ballymac Brandan early is key, while huge respect goes to kennelmate Solo And Go.
