Glowing George takes away the Irish Derby very closely from Razldazl Bugatti
Ladbrokes.com Irish Derby at Shelbourne on this Saturday saw the hidden talent of many dogs, the most specific one being Razldazl George got over the toughness of one of the proved roughest Classic finals ever. His victory made his trainer, Dolores Ruth
immensely proud.
The victory of Razldazl George left Dream Walker defeated and deprived of the title for which he now stands as a runner-up.
The winner’s kennels mate Razldazl Bugatti, trapped and moved wide early, disrupting the flow of others, his kennel mate being among them.
The race initially seemed to be in the favour of an all time favourite Rockchase Bullet, who as the rest did speed up on the outside. However, around the first and second bend he collided with Razldazl Bugatti.
It was around the second turn that all the pack bunched up with the exception of rank outsider Dream Walker who is being trained by Tom O’Neill, brother of Jonjo. Even after being left behind the reason he was able to catch up later quite soon.
He did find himself to be quite behind but then bucked up by choosing for the favourable path on the inside and the rest was easy as he shot through the clear advantage.
Meanwhile, Razldazl George turned on intense chasing and gained an edge by a minimum margin of 30.02 seconds, but it was such a close show between the two dogs yearning to cross the wire that no one was really certain about the winning dos until it was announced
and confirmed by the judge.
The third in line to finish the race was KrugNinety.
The ecstatic trainer shared his joy and pride with the roaring and cheering crowds. He went on saying:
"It makes it all the more special when we've bred him as well. It confirms the form of the English Derby, but especially his courage and astuteness. I don't know what happens next with him, but I know for us, we are all going to party. It's a wonderful moment”.
