BURNPARK JAYTEE took his career stats to ten wins from sixteen outings.
Owned by Cree’s Maria Browne, Burnpark Jaytee prevailed at the Galway Track on Saturday night as he made all in this S4 graded sprint contest to defeat Universally by two and a half lengths in 19.53.
Away very smartly from his trap one berth the son of Jaytee Jet and Seekers Vision immediately headed for the centre of the track as he opened up a three length advantage over Universally and Rylane Master racing towards the opening bend. Tracking well between the two bends he was home and hosed entering the straight for another authoritative victor.
Without a win in his six previous attempts, the John Browne of Ballyea owned and trained Rathmeehan Jim made no mistake in this A6 graded contest leading at the opening bend on his way to a three and a half length success over Esme Lady in 29.58. Woo Hoo Emoski was best away along the rails and led towards the opening bend rounding which the striped jacketed winner made rapid progress round the wide outside to take over in front entering the back straight. Racing along the back Rathmeehan Jim opened up a five length advantage over Esme Lady and from the third bend it was a case of how far for the son of Droopys Sydney and Rathmeehan Ruby.
Pete’s Noah owned by Shannon’s Peter Russell doubled his career winning tally in this A4 graded contest as the Donal Duggan of Tulla trained son of Burgess Bucks and Notimetotalk led off the home turn on his way to a four length success over Konfu Tommy in 29.58. Bumblebee Milan showed pace on the run towards the opening bend to lead from Konfu Tommy and Pete’s Noah. Racing down the back the front trio were now clear of their rivals but as they exited the back straight Pete’s Noah made his move and striking the front off the home bend drew right away in the straight.
At the Limerick Track on Saturday night Clonbrien Treaty trained by Graham Holland won a fourth classic success in the Final of the 2024 Willwego.com Irish St. Leger and in doing so claimed €30,000 for owners James and Muireann Murphy of Limerick. Aside from the Willwego.com Irish St. Leger, there was a terrific undercard on offer on Saturday night.
Hot Wood arrived at Limerick fresh from landing his second big event of the year at Galway and the Pat Carey of Cratloe owned tracker produced a polished performance to make it four wins on the spin.
Trained in Galway by Gerry Holian, Hot Wood landed a €3,500 pot last time out at Galway when dipping well under the 29-second barrier for the 550-yards, however, he produced a career best display to emphatically outclass his rivals in the AA0 550 . A generous 9/2 chance, Hot Wood was spring-like at traps as he flew into an early lead. Holding the improving Coolavanny Percy early on, the son of Airmount Nando raced into a four length advantage at the midway point and the Produce Stakes semi-finalists never relented thereafter. Staying on stoutly, Hot Wood crossed the line four and a half lengths clear of Coolavanny Percy as he stopped the clock in a very fast 29.48.
