Isaac Murphy NORTHERN Rivers trainer Andrew Monaghan rugged up Red Pollard for last Saturday s Ipswich Auction Sprint Series semi-final fully expecting to run a place behind an odds-on favourite. In just 25.16 seconds later, the promising youngster bolted in by three lengths. While Monaghan is keen to claim the underdog tag again this week, the run puts him on everyone s radar ahead of Saturday s final. The son of Barcia Bale has enjoyed a brilliant start to his career. Three wins at Ipswich and two closer to home at Lismore gives him a five from seven strike rate. Monaghan is keen to see what the dog can do when he fully matures.

VETERAN trainer Brian Francis is still churning out promising young pups. He looked to be on the right track when Hyacinthus won his maiden over the five hundred at Ipswich at just 21 months in August last year. Unfortunately, the son of Barcia Bale was unable to kick on as he spent over four months off the scene battling injury, eventually returning in a tough Novice Christmas-Eve at Albion Park. While he didn t figure in the placings there or his next run over the 395 the money came thick and fast for him back at Ipswich over the five hundred on Saturday night. He didn t disappoint.
