Barefoot Duke to reel in for the wire in Bernard Barry Bookmaker A2 525 Round 1 Heat 4 at Shelbourne Park
The fourth heat of the Grade A2 Bernard Barry Bookmaker A2 525 Round 1 will get staged at Shelbourne Park on Wednesday, 7th March. The race that has to offer the prize money worth €100 will be contested for by Georgias Demon, Mild And Dry, Tyrur
Skippy, Barefoot Duke, Sheepwalk Rusty and Aussie Melody.
The candidate with the brightest chances to reach the other end of the wire before it becomes possible for any other hound is Barefoot Duke, Late Late Show’s two-year-old black son out of b***h Kilara Gypsy.
He is very lightly raced as his career shot off from this season only and ever since then he has bagged two races out of the three starts with the remaining being a second place.
On 15th February, Barefoot Duke won a 525 yards race by clocking the distance in 29.42 seconds and staying adrift from the rest of the lot by five and a half lengths. Joining the winner beyond the wire was Galtymore Miggs.
Yearning for further success, the two-year-old captured his next start too. He won over the same distance but this time he reached the other end of the wire quicker as he timed the distance in 29.14 seconds. Performing way better than the last time, Barefoot
Duke was at an advantage of a staggering eleven lengths.
Yet again the runner up of the race was Galtymore Miggs.
As if the runner up had had all that could be endured, Galtymore Miggs bucked up for the third encounter in a row with the ferocious Barefoot Duke. On 29th February, the two rivals raced over 525 yards and Galtymore Miggs ended up driving Barefoot
Duke into the second slot by concluding the race in 29.49 seconds and this was achieved at the margin of only a mere ½ length.
Barefoot Duke is to make the fourth career start today but this time will not have to face the cut throat rivalry with Galtymore Miggs who is not part of the lineup.
Barefoot Duke’s last race deprived him of a hat trick but tonight he just may be able to record the third success of his career.
