2007 Irish Laurels to Catunda Harry




Great to see National Record Holder Catunda Harry achieve what only the very best do - a classic win.

From the reported 5 figure sum changing hands before the start of his career. To justifying the purchase price with a 28.55 (525y) run around Shelbourne. Off to Limerick for his unbelievable National Record of 27.99...the first greyhound in history to break the magical "28 seconds" for the 525y. Then back to Shelbourne for a scintillating 29.60 (550y). Culminating with an all class performance to stave off and then draw away from 2007 Irish Derby Finalist Tyrur Laurel in the "Laurels".

A win not only connections can be well satisfied. But, also the breeder and Australian sire Elite State [pictured] as well.

Roll on 2008 and Catunda Harry!
