HOFFA THE THIRD BEND KING
Ian Fortune
It will come as no surprise to any that Coolavanny Hoffa was again the fastest runner to the third turn in the second round of the Boylesports Irish Greyhound Derby.
The brilliant son of Droopys Sydney clocked a rapid 17.01 to go a full ten spots faster than the next quickest, Trinity Junior (17.11).
Just behind Trinity Junior on 17.12 were the talented trio of Glengar Martha, Scaglietti and Well Met while Clonbrien Treaty finally got loose around Shelbourne Park to post 17.14 in his victory. Next quickest were Undisputed and Jetara, both of whom hit the third turn in 17.20.
