Ballymac Drogba to stamp the Stoneridge Trophy at Hall Green in order to bag a hat trick
Hall Green will host the Stoneridge Trophy over 480 metres flat on Tuesday, 24th April. Taking the challenge tonight are Ballymac Drogba, Supreme Garrick, Verdun Richie, Monaghan Jack, Harrys Blonde and Wally Billy. The prize money for the race
is set at £175.
Ballymac Drogba, Ballymac Bull’s three-year-old white and black son out of b***h, Ballymac Youkay, displays just the right credentials for dominating the race tonight. He is a lightly raced hound as far as the races during the new season are concerned, he
has raced five times with losing just once.
The three-year-old spurt into the new season on 24th January and got drilled over 264 metres at Monmore which he completed in 15.47 seconds.
He got hold of his seasonal debut on 30th January by taking 18.18 seconds to complete the 305 metres trip in the Magners Sprint Trophy. He put the 6/4 favourite runner up of the race, Monleek Sloopy, at a disadvantage of 1 ¾ lengths.
The runner up took 18.32 seconds to complete the trip.
His consecutive victory of the season came in the form of the Betfred Casino Sprint Trophy on 13th February at Nottingham over 305 metres. Ballymac Drogba was done racing in 18.02 seconds and had Salacres Town finishing the closest after taking
18.30 seconds.
Hi There Rocky, the 9/4 favourite took 18.36 seconds to race through the wire.
He ended sixth in the Caffreys Sprint Trophy on 20th February at Nottingham over 305 metres and thus could not strike the much awaited hat trick.
Ballymac Drogba did not have to wait for long to record the third win on the profile as he won through the 258 metres track in 15.50 seconds on 13th April at Hall Green. He led the runner up, Rathbeg Mover, by 3 ¾ lengths.
His most recent start was in a 480 metres race at Hall Green on 20th April. Ballymac Drogba reached the other end of the wire in 28.62 seconds and had the runner up, Clogher Jane, joining him after leaping through the fifteen and a half lengths’
gap.
His sixth start of the season promises him the hat trick that could not be achieved earlier.
