OREO OLLIE RETURNS TO WINNING FOR IN THE KINGDOM

Barry Drake

The Kingdom Greyhound Stadium held a remembrance night on Saturday night with each race on the night carrying a winner’s prize of €700.

It was fantastic to see Oreo Ollie return to winning form for trainer Jack Kennelly and owners the Random Bag Syndicate. The even money favourite led before the opening corner, displaying plenty of speed up front, the classy performer went on to beat  Trions Tribe, a recent Laurels finalist, by a length and a half, in 30.09. A most impressive winning performance in the parents of Dermot and Bridget Fitzgerald remembrances AA0 550.

Elsewhere on the card, the Liam Holohan Remembrance 750, Hunters Cookie ran out a wide margin winner for Ariyah and Kaylah Culhane. The 4-5 favourite really took control in the second half of the race, pulling right away, to win in brilliant style. A fine performance, clocking 42.21. (DD0).

In the other open, the Jeremiah, Sheila, Mary, Hannah & Louise McKenna A0 550, Chippy Treaty ran out a smart winner for William and Ruth Cregan. Winning the all important early lead, the 2-1 shot went on to impress, coming home three lengths clear of Stormy Elvis, in 30.19.
