BoyleSports Champion Plate Favourites

Ower Cracker – 5/1

The Pat Buckley-trained Ower Cracker is the joint 5/1 favourite which implies the dog has a 16.7% chance of landing the Champion Plate

The June 2022 Whelp is the son of Droopys Sydney and Nice Mystery who has 3 victories and 2 runner-up finishes from 10 races on the track.

The dog's last race was earlier this month where the dog finished last over the 550-yard trip in Tralee after being crowded at the first bend. However, following a 29.66 solo trial at Shelbourne the following week it’s no surprise he is favourite

Carrick Keano - 5/1

The Robert G. Gleeson-trained Carrick Keano is the joint 5/1 favourite which implies the dog has a 16.7% chance of landing the Champion Plate

The June 2022 Whelp is the son of Dromana Bocko and Droopys Zero with a career record of 5 victories and 3 runner-up finishes from 14 races since starting in Clonmel unraced at the start of the year.

The dog's latest outing was last week where he was impeded at the first bend but ran on strongly in third coming 6.5 lengths behind winner Carrick Keano who clocked 29.72. Carric Keano is another serious contender for the Champion Plate.

Neko Harbour – 6/1

The Owen McKenna-trained Neko Harbour is the joint second favourite at 6/1, these odds imply that the dog has a 14.3% chance of winning the competition

The September 2022 Whelp is bred in the purple, the son of Droopys Sydney and Susie Sapphire who is a lightly-raced sort but has a career record of 4 wins from 7 races for owner Peter Comerford.

The dog's latest outing was last week in Shelbourne winning over the 550-yard trip in 29.69 finishing 2.5 lengths ahead of Prince Naseem.

Miami King – 6/1

The Gary Dempsey-trained Miami King is the joint second favourite at 6/1, these odds imply that the dog has a 14.3% chance of winning the competition

The September 2021 Whelp is the son of Ballymac Vic and Newline Mo who has a strong strike rate of 9 victories and 1 runner-up finish from 19 races.

The dog's latest outing was a trial at Shelbourne last week where it clocked 29.56 for the 550-yard trip and its last race was winning over the 525 trip in 28.23 earlier this month.

Da Bold Falcon – 10/1

Next in the betting is the John F McGee-trained Da Bold Falcon at odds of 8/1 suggesting an 11.1% chance of Champion Plate success.

The April 2022 Whelp is the son of Droopys Sydney and Hail Cleoppathra who has 2 wins and 2 runner-up finishes from 9 races.

The dog's latest outing was last week where he won at Shelbourne clocking a swift 28.04 over the 525 distance coming 6 lengths clear of closest challenger Now Were Talkin.
