Diamond sparkles again offering prospect of bumper 50/1 returns

MUCH of the post round two BoyleSports Irish Derby wrap focussed on the brilliant Bockos Diamond with the sponsor's odds compiler Damien Lonergan revealing to Jonathan Kay that some shrewdies are on at 50/1.

Damo was also breathing a sigh of relief that a record-breaking 16.68sec third bend sectional by Graham Holland's star did not translate into an all-round track record with his overall 29.03sec four spots outside Pestana's mark.

*Fairy Footsteps has been withdrawn from the Irish Derby leaving T3 vacant in Saturday's third heat.
