Barefoot Allstar ready for a big show at Shelbourne Park
Barefoot Allstar has a number of podium finishes to his name. He has always done well in open races. In just a few months of his career, the P. Hennessy trained black dog has achieved some classy feats that speak volumes of his racing capabilities.
This is the reason the three-year-old veteran hound has been picked as the 5-2 favourite candidate for tonight’s Semi-Final contest of the Book your Christmas Party Now! Open 350. The race of €50 will be run over 350-yard course of Shelbourne Park.
Mesedo Black shares the odds with Barefoot Allstar, but the latter is stronger in terms of stamina and momentum.
The talented son of Droopys Scolari out of Newmarket Way has proved himself on various occasions. In the month of April, he marvellously accomplished a couple of consecutive triumphs. First, he won Bettor.com Scottish Derby Final 2012 on 13th and then finished first by the big margin of 5 ¼ lengths in the Heat 3 (5 to qualify) on 27th.
Both were epic performances that exposed the dashing dog’s calibre well. That was the point when the punters came to realise Barefoot Allstar’s commercial worth.
The skilled greyhound finished third in the Townviewfoods.com Open 550 of July 21. After sealing third spot in the Round 1 Heat 7 of the 2012 Ladbrokes Irish Greyhound Derby, he came second in the Round 2 - Heat 15 of the grand tournament.
The energetic dog’s 3-length clean victory in the Night Of The Stars Open 525 Semi-final was also a great achievement. He finished as the runner-up in the Tommy Barry Happy 80th Birthday Open 525 Final on October 6.
These stats show that Hennessy’s pupil has enough potential to compete well in big races. Hopefully, he will not let any of his rivals dominate the field tonight.
Urard Chief will show a little resistance. The P. Buckley trained black dog has accomplished four magnificent triumphs in his juvenile career. He has been at the top of his game since debuting in March.
Though the contest between the two dogs will be fierce enough, but Barefoot Allstar is likely to be the ultimate winner.
