Droopys Jet determined to qualify for the Derby final
With a view to qualify for the final game of the ongoing festival of Irish Greyhound Derby, the F. Black trained black dog, Droopys Jet, will try every nerve to seal first position in the Ladbrokes Irish Greyhound Derby Semi-final that is set to be held
tonight at Shelbourne Park.
Over 550 yards, the two-year-old veteran hound will unleash his utmost firepower after breaking from the white box. Success will not only throw him to the final but also earn him a handsome amount of €250.
Droopys Jet set an excellent success streak during the last two months. After winning two big races in July, he emphatically finished first by the big margin of 7 lengths in the Ladbrokes Irish Greyhound Derby Round 1 Heat 5 that was held on August 1.
Then there came a couple of below-par performances but the skilled sprinter regained his momentum and narrowly sealed top spot in his last start named as Ladbrokes Irish Greyhound Derby Round 4 Heat 1.
The talented son of Slip The Lark out of Droopys Mo has an epic record in OR format of the game. The way he performed during July-August is enough to believe that the fans will surely see Droopys Jet sizzling in the final marathon that is being waited much.
On his way towards the finish line, Droopys Jet will have to face the wrath of the hot favourite candidate, Tyrur Sugar Ray, who has constantly been on the podium since debuting in April 2012.
The Fahy trained black and white dog nicely won the Bernard Barry Bookmaker Open 525 on July 28 and went on to stand first in the 2012 Ladbrokes Irish Greyhound Derby Round 1 Heat 10 that took place on August 2. These two consecutive triumphs boosted up
his morale considerably.
After two runner-up ranks, the son of Top Honcho out of Maireads Fantasy elegantly gained a 4 ½-length clean victory in his last start entitled as Ladbrokes Irish Greyhound Derby Round 4 Heat 4.
Thus, we can expect a fierce battle between Tyrur Sugar Ray and Droopys Jet. Let us see who of the duo carries the day.
