Farley Turbo emulates Blitz in Saturday heats
The last session of heats in the opening round of the Irish Derby went underway at Shelbourne Park last night, and resulted in another Owen Mckenna-trained charge’ Farley Turbo (29.64sec) to be the pace setter when recording the fastest time of the night.
Turbo snapped out of trap six with great authority to gain the early lead to the first bend and drilled his paws deep to score by almost ten lengths to beat Pachacuti in heat 22.
Turbo pretty much emulated his litter brother Blitz which had been the headline maker with a best of the competition time of 29.57 on Friday.
Also a reasonable night for any punters backing the favourites, as four out of eight managed to pay dividends. The biggest price paid on the night came from Jim Morrissey-trained Dromore Hero (10-1) who clocked 29.92sec to land heat 20.
