And the first of our guests on this week's podcast, we're gonna speak to Mikey Cronin of the Peter Cronin Kennels, who enjoyed big race success at Shelbourne Park, um, on Saturday night, of course.
I'm here delivering a sensational performance in the final of the 25,000 euros to the winner, 2026 Time Greyhound Nutrition, uh, Puppy Derby.
Let's, let's talk about I'm Here, uh, before, of course, we talk about the big race on, on, on Saturday night because, Sam started off his career in a, in a, in a, in a sprint in Shelbourne and, and certainly has gone from strength to strength.
Um, and I suppose Aidan sent down I'm Here maybe a couple of months ago, and to be honest, we didn't think he, he was...
Um, but he sent him down there, and we didn't think he was, uh, as good as he turned out to be, to be honest, and we were just schooling him away.
Aidan had given him a couple of trials, um, and we were just kept schooling him away.
And then he qualified in Waterford in 16:30, and we said, "Oh, we've, we've something here now because that'd be an all right spin." Um, and then he gone out 0-1 obviously, so we said, "Oh, we'll throw him into the Isle of Bridge," kind of.
He really, like, I know if you look at the card, he finished fourth, but he really, really impressed with some of the pace he showed in that race.
