BUCKLEY TRIO MOVE WELL IN TOWCESTER TRIALS

Ian Fortune

Pat Buckley trialled three of his five-strong team ahead of the Star Sports/ TRC English Greyhound Derby at Towcester on Thursday afternoon and all three moved well.

Of the three, Ballymac Sorrell when clocking 28.94 off a 4.11 sectional, while the lightly raced but very promising Clona Ice went just one spot slower, posting 28.95. He did so off a moderate 4.16 sectional, leaving room for improvement.

Ballinabola Joe also left room for improvement at traps, posting a 4.15 sectional before going on to stop the clock in 29.01. All three moved fluently and seem likely to improve for the run.
