Congratulations to John and Lizzie Murphy whose exceptional greyhound, Callaway Knegare, took top honours in Shelbourne Park.
There was a lot of support from Brosna there on the night to see this juvenile romp home to victory. A wonderful reward to the Murphys who have dedicated so much time to racing greyhounds.
Writing in the official site of Rásaíocht Con Éireann / Greyhound Racing Ireland, Ian Fortune described the race thus:
Knegare a Special Winner of the Juvenile Derby
Those that hadn’t being paying attention to Callaway Knegare in recent weeks, stood up and took notice on Saturday as he produced a typically brilliant display to capture the TIME Juvenile Derby in the manner of a greyhound with greyhound world at his feet.
This was more than just another superb performance; it was a statement. The son of Droopys Sydney and Droopys Sweet was sent to traps the 1-2 favourite and he would become the shortest priced winner of the final this century.
