Rank outsider Moorstown Brett wins Killeacle Dowling A1 final for Killmallock owner
The supporting card saw Ardfert owner, Daniel Nolan, score a terrific double (worth €1,400) with Ardrahan Alibaba in an A1 525 race, and his litter sister, Ardrahan Oprah, which won an A1 570 race as a reserve
The first thing that must be said about last Friday's meeting at Tralee Track, which honoured the memories of the late John and Mary (Killeacle) Dowling, is that prize money totalled a whopping €14, 540 thanks to sponsorship provided by the Dowling family, principally Liam and Declan.
The weather certainly didn't smile on the meeting, with rain during the day and during the meeting itself affecting the going to the extent that it was .20 slow for 325yds, .40 slow for 525yds, 550yds and 570yds, and .60 slow for 750yds. One man who hardly minded the wet weather one little bit was Kilmallock owner, Joseph O'Flaherty, who won the feature event, the John and Mary (Killeacle) Dowling Memorial A1 570 sweepstake (winner, €2,600), with Moorstown Brett, and who also supplied the third greyhound home in Moorstown Knight.
