Derby Non Runners

Already backed him at 3/1 for the heat and to win outright !!!!!!!! s**t.

heat isnt antepost is it?

I was going to have a bet Friday but phoned Hills and they said it wouldnt be non-runner no bet, so leaving it till the day. Defeats the object of pricing up so early if you ask me. Therefore, sorry to say, think you might be on a loser Eastmead. I would dispute it if i was you though

definitelydispute it imo - ur on a day of the race market?

Sorry.... How the f*** can a bet on a named selection in an individual six-dog greyhound race, with no reserves allowed, be anything other than "non-runner, no bet"?

That's what you would imagine Jane, but i specifically asked the Hills telephonist would i get my money back non runner. He went away for a moment, to consult his supervisor and returned saying no. Crazy, could be quite simply they got it wrong though and dont know what theyre doing. Think of a number time with some of these bookies sometimes!

Head Iton Haysey
Barefoot Machine

Well my luck shows no sign of turning; first Cuil Cougar now Hayesy FFS!

I suppose it saved me from building my hopes up only for them to be dashed around semi final time!

Meadow Bank Owl NR

Every dog qualifies in heat 18 so, no point in running it then, let those dogs have an extra week off

Saturday race 9 21.30 round one heat 18

trap 1 Meadow Bank Owl withdrawn lame at 10.05 am Thursday 26th April 2012 trap vacant

All five runners that are left will now automatically qualify (this is Eden Star's and Droopys Jet's  heat)


Wats de point of runnin then

According to Draper, Eden needs a run or two, trials not like races proper. Yes, if they all complete the course, all qualify

HELP REQUIRED...

The sponsors were doing a 'Red Hot Treble' at enhanced odds of 5/2 which contained...

Taylors Sky
Razldazl Jayfkay
Eden Star


Now there is a NR in the Eden Star race... will this bet get honoured still?

Big fat no anyway can't have Eden on my mind till 100% fit!

Well I basically thought I was getting 5/2 on Eden Star as I can't see Sky or JFK getting beat... also gives me an option if i wanted to trade out on Saturday as the other 2 are on Friday.

Quiery it Zach. 12/1 non runner should make no difference

Dont worry too much about Eden Fatty, it'll be alright on the night!

Prob go to sp Zach imo

Normally it would BSG but if it's special odds they may wish to recalculate the odds, which would be more or less the same, imo. Phone them Zach, if they reform, get on at the new odds

and void your original bet, of course

seems like el clive heat 6 8.45 tomorrow

ON FRIDAY in heat four 8.45:
El Clive is a non runner (off colour - withdrawn 3.19pm Thursday) - T5 Vacant. This is also a five-runner race where all five will now automatically qualify (Silverview Perky's heat)

They say all 5 automatically qualify but if one ko, dnf coz it was sore, but recovered for the 2nd round, it wouldnt be eligible, would it? Strange things have happened in dog racing before, like dog being knocked over yet still winning!

I know only splitting hairs. For all intents and purposes, yes, all 5 qualify in those races

In other words, all they have to do is complete the course to qualify

jordansoilutions got ko'd and qualified last year i think?

yes

this is the scariest thread on the forum ever,i dread opening it when theres a new post.

yes!!! do not wanna see jayfkay on this.............

  ..oh  nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

another post.

Hush your mouth Addy. Hope you havent spoken too soon! .

Dont know about Jordans. Might have been ko'd but did it still finish the course? Think the rule is first 5 dogs home. If it dont cross the winning line, it's not "home"?

Two non- runners in heat 11
Magic
Houdini

Well at least i've got 1 dog into round 2 then

pf.

getting quite long this:

cuil cougar
head it on haysey
barefoot machine
meadow bank owl
el clive
broadway magic
razaldazl houdini

at this rate there will only be the required 96 left allowing wimbledon to cancel tonight and tomorrows cards

Eden Star withdraw lame according to William Hill

that song by rob orbison....crying....here 

EDEN STAR, as short as 9-1 fourth-favourite for the williamhill.com Derby, tore a shoulder muscle during his first-round heat victory on Saturday, and has been withdrawn from the competition.
Trainer Barrie Draper said: "I've just come back from the vet's, and the advice is to leave him off for four to six weeks.I don't take chances with my dogs. It's just one of those things. I'm gutted."
Eden Star, winner of the Racing Post Juvenile Championship in
February, had been set to lock horns with defending champion Taylors Sky in round two on Friday.

a real shame he went out this way, not exactly to the draw to take a chance on the injury either Taylors Sky is the most charmed dog of all time imo

don't worry i doubt anyone has backed this one


Romoe Recruit

BURST OF MAGIC has been withdrawn by the stewards from the williamhill.com Derby after a routine test was officially reported positive for a steroid after the greyhound’s first round run. Itmeans trap four in heat 13 on Saturday will be vacant. An inquiry will follow as to the circumstances of the positive. The rules disqualify any such runner from taking further part in the event. The official time of withdrawal was 6.22pm on  Friday.

drum roll......dum dum dum,,,,,

fawkham rocky.

F f s had 7/4 droopys

ttt

any info on barefott allstar,  drifted quite abit this morning from 32-50,  sky shortened slightly, some money laying pedro went also along with sid.

Any chance you can stop bringing this thread back to the top please!!! I'm sheeting myself every time it appears at the top of the page

Have not heard anything about him though

hopefully someone worried about the draw then?   Laid alittle at 30's early in the week so put some up at 40 and 50 and all went in one go.   Along with seeing the money for sky / sid and pedro somewhat disappear... getting abit worried. 

Barefoot Allstar OUT lame

BAREFOOT ALLSTAR, winner of the **** Scottish Derby final at Shawfield and a leading ante-post fancy for Wimbledon glory, has been withdrawn from the Derby after being reported lame at 1.17pm on Wednesday.

Paul Hennessy's charge was due to run from T5 in heat six on Saturday (arguably the hottest eliminator of all which includes defending champion Taylors Sky) and this will now be a five-runner heat.

They might as well give Taylors Sky a bye to the final at this rate

It's good news for Jaytee Pedro who i've as a winner though.

Disappointed for Henno

a few books taken allstar off....ffs

  no smoke without fire.  picked off again.  :-(

How would one find out what time T3 was withdrawn in Droopys Loner heat last sat night May 5th ? anyone help ?

It was withdrawn at 6pm at weigh in on Saturday night due to weight variation (up in weight)

French Blue is a NR

ffs

is it like this every year?

or is the surface catching up with rest of place?

I'm not sure PS, only one i remember pulling out after the start was Local Dee Jay but there was probably more. There does seem to be a lot this year.

Quite happy he don't run to be honest, Phoenix should have no problems run up now

yep,french do something stupid at the start blue,was a bit of the reason i was looking to take phoenix on.

Good news for ap backers.

and Hills are still offering 4/5!!

yes ive just had that as well zach - is 4/5 not massive? i respect longwood hawk ive had a bit antespot a few weeks back.....but really, this looks massive surely? actually thought phoenix was equally as impressive last week as the first round for different reasons.

Yes it's big now, wasn't interested at 1st for the same reasons as patrick pointed out but now the 5 is out he should be shorter.

Yes it's big now, wasn't interested at 1st for the same reasons as patrick pointed out but now the 5 is out he should be shorter.

agreed, i didnt want to be a player before hand.

been doing the antepost on here since hawks first win and this is def the worst iv seen for withdrawals.  Last year was ok,  was a few the year before but this year, theres been about 15 now.

probably a few more to come too before we'v finished.   Had a few nasty ones this week with eden and allstar but my worst has to be farloe premier in the semi final the year lord won.  Was a massive winner for me and instead of opening up at like 4.5 ish after the quarters, i think hills went 7's and then the market woke up, followed and he was in double figures shortly after.  Lord should have gone out that semi.  haha. 

Please don't talk about that greyhound lanza Loyal Honcho should have been a double Derby Champion

Touch wood i have managed to avoid every withdrawal so far this year (usually a magnet for them), please god it stays that way

i was -800 lord and about +4k honcho about 10 mins before the off,  picked the mrs up that day from a fortune teller, gave me a quick reading... said dont worry, he wont win, he'l take a nudge on the bend and that'l be that. 

thought bullocks,  had about 150 at 10.0 on here just before the off.  Was so glad i did,  but your right... honcho , he saved me the following yr from the tyrur's.

ttt.....just in case.
