Greyhound Racing: Sniper Kennel land weekend four timer

On Saturday night’s card the main race was the Droopy’s Stud 525 final, kindly sponsored by the Dunphy family.

And after the previous week's semi-finals, That's Are Doll from trap six was the 5/4 favourite to win but unlike the previous week in the semi-finals where she got a clear run, it was not the case this time as she fell from traps and got badly baulked around the opening bends.

However, Tribal Paddy who showed good early pace in his semi-final once again impressed to lead around the opening bends. He was four lengths clear but in the semi-finals he didn’t seem to be a strong stayer. That was his first run at the track and the run really brought him on as he showed no signs of fatigue in the home straight, galloping on strongly to win by two lengths at odds of 6/1 in a time of 28.95 to land the £1,000 pot for his Newtownabbey based owner David O'Neill.
