It was another long drive up north last night as Sunderland hosted the first round of the Joe Hardy Memorial. The bookmakers made our Ballymac Ace the Ante-post favourite. Ace opened proceedings when comfortably taking heat one. The East Anglian Derby champion looked to face a fairly routine task, being sent off 1-3 as a result and, while he did not immediately streak clear, the race was as good as over when he railed inside up-in-trip sprinter Swift Vance to lead at the first bend. Drawing away along the back stretch, Ballymac Ace came home more than five lengths to the good of Mill Mercury in 27.05. Sadly Bandicoot Fionn was eliminated from Heat 6.
