PATRIOT FOR PUPPY DERBY AFTER FLYING SPRINT TRIAL

Ian Fortune

Droopys Patriot hasn’t been seen since capturing the Juvenile Classic back in March but the talented son of Dorotas Wildcat will soon be back in racing action if his latest trial at Shelbourne Park is any indication.

The Robert Gleeson trained start flew around HQ in a sizzling 18.38 for the 350yd sprint trip on Thursday night and the man at the end of the lead certainly seemed happy with the run. It seems all systems go for the upcoming Puppy Derby for which he will surely be amongst the favourites.
