Isaac Murphy NORTHERN Rivers trainer Andrew Monaghan rugged up Red Pollard for last Saturday s Ipswich Auction Sprint Series semi-final fully expecting to run a place behind an odds-on favourite. In just 25.16 seconds later, the promising youngster bolted in by three lengths. While Monaghan is keen to claim the underdog tag again this week, the run puts him on everyone s radar ahead of Saturday s final. The son of Barcia Bale has enjoyed a brilliant start to his career. Three wins at Ipswich and two closer to home at Lismore gives him a five from seven strike rate. Monaghan is keen to see what the dog can do when he fully matures.
