Taylors Sky, last years times , this years times.....
1st round 28.55 29.30
2nd round 28.79 28.81
3rd round 28.53 28.80
Q f 28.21
Sf 28.21
F 28.17
The improvement last year from 2nd Round to 3rd round was 26 spots
the improvement this year was negligable.
last year he came out of 3 and met barefoot bullet on a good day , going down 2 lengths
this year he came out of 2 and met young sid, going down 4 lengths
last year sky's sectionals were around 4.80, this year his best has been 4.88, but he never had trap 1 until the quarter-final
if he gets the 4.82 start from 1 as he did on 7th april in a trial, i think we are going to see charlies 30 spots re-appear from up his sleeve as they did last year !

He's not running well, sorry Charlie ye can moan about those who say so in Fridays paper but he is not running that well. He is not trapping showing limited pace to the corner.
In my opinion of course.
As for last year he was entitled to improve as the competiton went on as he had only 4 races in his life (i think) before the comp. He may well improve again this year but he has too considerably, sure he's got his trap 1 next round.

yer the dog wizzed round in the trials before derby but something aint right, not running well at all
I should say though i am judging him against the amazing standards he set last year
Longwood days out traped him moved into him!
Sky ain't going to know what way to look with rioga beside him!
Can't see how he finds the time unless he unearths what's wrong with him!
That ain't the same dog 28feb!

how long before the taylors think somebody else can do better 
Sky in my opinion will do well to make the semi-finals, not the dog he was, and I dont think charlie has anything up his sleeve, Boher Paddy could also miss out on Tuesday after a hard race last night,he has a tough draw to overcome, how many will the great Cha have for the semi-finals one maybe Bucks 
not running well granted but still in comp and in a qf race should qualify from with some of the better dogs so far drawn in 3rd qf against each other i wouldnt take my stake money back and cancel all bets if offered just yet
but not looking good as things stand and far from looking like can retain crown

Nobody can doubt Charlie is the master at bringing out the best in his dogs. Sky has been a shade disappointing for my money, but i wouldnt be at all surprised to see him bounce back to his superb best

what you doing at home on your computer it could be another 44 years make the most of it and paint the town red

Dont worry thanks Pocket, i get out plenty. Not a big drinker though. Even when i've been going to Vue to watch the Derby on the inter-track, i've used my free drink voucher on pepsi rather than beer 
thought sky had a chance of going out tonight if not trapping but pleased with that run big improvement and hopefully more to come

he may not have 30 spots up his sleeve but he has plenty of trap 1s
ive watched tonights qfs and pocket pairs with the trap draw for taylors in 1 and a bang railer in 2 plus jfk winning like it did tonight if you get the opportunity to get your money back from the antepost you hold i honestly believe you should grab it with both hands,
michael agree hopefully bit more improvement in time and a few good uns knocked out the other semi could be 5-2 9/4 for the final will cover all my stake
all this talk about times i dont get

Taylors Sky backers would want to hope Rioga and Bert do for each other in the 1st semi as on all of what we have seen he can't read either and the way he has ran i can't see him back running them either.
read = lead
be some bloody dog if he could read

Sky ticking over nicely, imo. Plotted up in semi and looking good to reach the final again. Charlie has got his champions to trap many times in finals, just look at Ninja Jamie etc. The JFK dog to beat but wouldnt surprise me to see Sky go very close to joining some legends with a brace of Derby wins
i will cry if the sky / jfk reverse forcast comes up. Was looking to bet it last night but hills had taken down the opening offer of 25. Was still there till a few days ago.
of 25. Was still there till a few days ago.
Has Charlie got 30 spots up his sleeve ?

He ran a lot better again last nite
Loner could lead most dogs took some gound off sky at the first , sky seemed to not drive the 3rd but powered his way up the middle.
Snapper had great run round
Charlie needs to find 20 spots and his home and dry!!!!

Wide open but still wouldnt swop Sky. Draw not as bad as you may first think. Judicial unlikely to be edging in and Adonis should give Sky plenty of room for a charge at the bend. Bert and Snapper could vie for the lead also. Looks a bit cut and thrust but would always like Charlie on my side in these instances. Easy to say but whatever leads and kicks surely wins. Not sure how Ironman or Adonis reached the final really though. Sure they were about 50/1 apiece before the semis
sky hasnt trapped all competition what a time for it to burst out now and gone
the master will be hard at work
