FAIRY FOOTSTEPS WITHDRAWN FROM DERBY

Ian Fortune

Fairy Footsteps has been withdrawn from the third round of the Boylesports Irish Greyhound Derby after picking up a small injury in her second-round success.

Her joint owner Willie Rigney confirmed that the talented daughter of Droopys Sydney had split a web.

It has actually been an on-going problem with the Pat Guilfoyle trained bitch and they are hoping with a few weeks rest, she could potentially be ready for a crack at the Winter Racing Festival. Her withdrawal means that trap three will be vacant in Heat 3 on Saturday night.
