BOLD SUPPORT FOR FREDDIE IN KIRBY OUTRIGHT MARKET

Peter Farrell

The betting firms were quick off the mark for the upcoming Con & Annie Kirby Memorial at Limerick Greyhound Stadium and there has already been some big movement in the outright market.

Yesterday, both BresBet and BoyleSports released their outright betting for the €80,000 to the winner classic and not surprisingly, it was the likes of Droopys Edison, Swords Rex and Wi Can Dream who spearheaded the market.

However, after being initially chalked up at odds of 12/1 by BoyleSports, Da Bold Freddie has come in for some big support and he is now the clear 8/1 favourite for Kirby glory. Trained by Michael Corr for Tommy McDonagh, the son of Ballymac Bolger was mighty impressive during the early rounds of the Juvenile Classic in Tralee and confidence is clearly high ahead of his opening round assignment, where he is due to run from trap one in heat twelve.
