DENIRO THE NEW ST. LEGER FAVOURITE

Peter Farrell

The 1XBet Irish St. Leger is beginning to heat up at Limerick Greyhound Stadium and, following a sensational record-breaking performance last Saturday night, Ballymac Deniro has been installed as the new favourite for outright honours.

The Liam Dowling-trained star produced a blistering 29.14 during his second-round assignment, smashing the previous track record in the process. That performance has seen Ballymac Deniro leapfrog Bockos Gold at the head of the outright market, with the talented tracker now a 7/4 chance to land Classic glory.

Reigning Irish Derby champion Bockos Gold remains hot on his heels at odds of 5/2, while it is 8/1 bar the leading duo. Graham Holland is responsible for the next two in the betting, with Swords Diamond and Roaming Shelby both available at 8/1 following their impressive starts to the competition.
