Ballymac Vic dominant in the Ladbrokes Irish Greyhound Derby Round 4 Heat 3
The Ladbrokes Irish Greyhound Derby Round 4 Heat 3 will be contested by Killbarry Rover, Ballymac Vic, Tyrur Micko, Cuil Cougar, Dusseldorf and Airforce Diva. The 550 yards flat race will be hosted by the Shelbourne Park on Saturday, 25th August.
The prize money promised to the winner is €250.
The most accomplished and credible entry for the race is the two-year-old brindle dog, Ballymac Vic. He started racing just during this season and has not done much else than winning predominantly.
Ballymac Vic won his career debut on 16th March, 2012 over 525 yards. Racing away quickly, going wide and then running on got him the race in 28.42 seconds. He defeated Airforce Diva by 3 ½ lengths.
His next try however was not that lucky. Kinloch Brae’s son lost in the next try as he ended third on 23rd March, 2012 over 525 yards.
After two training sessions at the Shelbourne Park, the Dowling trained won the Dublin Rose Of Tralee Open 525 on 21st April, 2012 at the Shelbourne Park over 525 yards. The favourite entry was fast after leashing from the third gate and timed
the track distance in 28.41 seconds while leading by 5 ½ lengths.
Finishing the closest to the winner was, Kingsmill Messi.
A fifth position after the success led him to get trained twice but this time the session did not prove as successful as before because he ended third and then second.
He then won the Dublin Rose Of Tralee Open 525 on 21st April, 2012 at the Shelbourne Park over 525 yards. Being fast after leaving the third gate and then leading for the rest of the way got him the race in 28.41 seconds.
Ballymac Vic struck the first hat-trick of the career on 18th August, 2012 in the 2012 Ladbrokes Irish Greyhound Derby Round 3 Heat 6 at the Shelbourne Park over 550 yards. The favourite concluded the race in 29.44 seconds and won by the margin
of four lengths.
His chances of winning tonight and extending beyond hat-trick are 4 to 6. Speeding at the right time and keeping a check on the competition will serve as the key to success.
