In the Eric Browne Memorial Kingdom Derby Final, Ballymac Walt emerges as the top choice for the €5,000 prize tonight.
With an ideal draw on the outer side, the selected greyhound is expected to have a clear path. However, securing victory will require a flawless performance. Despite finishing as the runner-up in both previous races, a quick and explosive start along the outer track could make all the difference. Having showcased brilliance with a remarkable 29.29 victory at the Winter Racing Festival, Ballymac Walt is poised to give punters an impressive performance.
Superfast Gorden, under the guidance of trainer Pat Buckley for owners Eamonn Doyle and Mark Hatton, is a highly promising contender. The December puppy has recently delivered outstanding performances, clocking times of 28.18 and 28.08. A swift start from the inside track could make Superfast Gorden challenging to overcome.
Liam Dowling's De Lahdedah is renowned for being one of the fastest in training. However, the greyhound faces a challenging draw from trap five. The remaining contenders in the sextet are Ballymac Marino, Bobsleigh Syd, and Road Exile.
With three runners each from the Buckley and Dowling teams, the final promises to be an exhilarating showdown.
