Ladbrokes carrying a 100k liability on Highview Shadow not that surprising considering the owner
|
|
By:
Also adding Kiowa Myth 80s, ran better than it looked last race after finding loads of trouble and also Farley Blitz 20s even though its short enough given his tendency to miss the kick, I do like the Champion Stakes as a guide and have found a few winners running on from the rear in it in the past.

By:
Trouble is I tend to like to have a few to follow in ante posts even if I dont really think they will win lol.

By:
Are Ladbrokes serious when they say that, the bloke must surely have done his conkers with them to get that kind of money on.
I've won a few hundred off them on gaelic football and they limit me to £20. Or is it one rule for one and one for another if they're in the public eye. |

By:
(Re the 100k liability that is)
In the Racing Post today they say they will lay him even more if he wants it They must think it has no chance surely. |

The owner in question is an extremely well known gambler. The ladbrokes rep who was at the draw is a former rails bookie in Shelbourne so they would know who they are dealing with

Going off topic slightly, I hear rumours that the opening round of the Puppy Derby at Harolds Cross has been moved to the Sunday after the Derby final night, instead of the Friday before.
Can anyone confirm this? |

By:
The unfortunately injured Tyrur Brennan is the only confirmed non-runner in the second round of the Ladbrokes.com Irish Derby. He was due to contest Heat 9 on Saturday but that will now be a five dog race with trap six vacant.
Paul Hennessy reports that He Told Ted has a slight injury but a decision on his participation in Heat 12 will not be made until later in the week. There have been four changes in seeding for the second round. Thurlesbeg Joker, Burn Em Up and Ballymac Under all switch from wide to middle while Clonkeen Stan goes in the opposition direction. |

Carib King was this morning withdrawn from tonight’s opening heat in the second round of the Ladbrokes.com Irish Derby at Shelbourne Park. His absence means that the opening heat will be a five-dog race with no reserves allowed once the first round has been completed.

DERBY TRAINERS IN UPBEAT MOOD
Monday, August 16th There have been no reported injury problems as far as the 48 remaining contenders in the Ladbrokes.com Irish Derby is confirmed. Indeed, all the trainers I spoke with today were very upbeat about their charges and looking forward to a “night of nights” at Shelbourne on Saturday night. The third round is always the most eagerly anticipated round of the Derby as it brings all remaining contenders together on the same night for the first time in the classic. The draw has thrown up some really intriguing contests and it will be cut-throat stuff. Dolores Ruth, who has three survivors, said that “it was a good weekend for us and all three dogs are in super form, there’s not a bother on them. I am happy enough with the draws and from here on it is all about Lady Luck and keeping the dogs in one piece. But I am hoping for the best and I couldn’t be happier with Makeshift, Razldazl Lord and Local Dee Jay”. Her fellow Rathangan trainer Fraser Black, who also has three survivors, echoed her feelings. “I’ve no problems, they’re all okay after their runs and it’s all a question of keeping them sound. Krug Ninety Five is running on strong and I think he would even last 575. They’re all fine”. “It is up to them now” Another trainer with three challengers still standing is Paul Hennessy and he was his usual upbeat self as he reported a clean bill of health for his team. “They’re grand, not a bother and we are hoping for the best. Barefoot Bullet probably needs to brush up on his starting a bit but he wants the outside box and he is in it, so no complaints there. The pup (Air Force Hawk) wants the inside and he is drawn in one while Colorful Champ is probably best drawn in three. He is in a very interesting race but it is up to them all now. Saturday should be a great night’s racing, there are some cracking races and the public will love it”. Seamus Graham, who boasts the best record of any current trainer with three previous successes, has just Mesedo Blue this year but he was delighted with the dog’s run at the weekend. “He ran one of his best races and he showed real determination. I’m delighted with him but it is a tough race and he can afford no mistakes”. “I’m hoping for a massive run” Enniscorthy trainer Pat Gordon has two survivors and is hopeful that they can proceed to the next stage. “Fatboyz Tyson seems alright but I will be getting him checked out tomorrow. There was some coughing in the kennel last week but I don’t think there is a problem. He seems to be hitting a flat spot down the back but he seems to be fine and hopefully he will keep floating along through the stake. I think Clonkeen Stan is improving and I would be hoping for a big run from him in the opening heat”. Another handler with two survivors is Pat Buckley and he is also happy with his lot. “Both dogs are perfect. Hats My Boy is a lovely young dog and he is coming along all the time. I like him. Tullymurry Act is in great form and I would be hoping he would start to light up this weekend. I am hoping for a massive run from him”. MONLEEK OK Monday, August 16th The rumour factory has been working overtime as usual and it is very encouraging to report that the stories doing the rounds about Monleek Bay are well wide of the mark. The stories at Dundalk on Monday night had Monleek Bay as being out of the Ladbrokes.com Irish Derby due to a major leg injury but John Downey this morning assured Shelbourne racing manager Declan Carey that the dog has nothing more than a minor muscle problem. Monleek Bay is due to contest the red hot Heat 3 in the third round on Saturday night where his rivals will be Definate Opinion, Jim Said So, Colorful Champ, Tyrur Big Mike, Cookies Fantasy and Monleek Bay. |

Fears that injury may affect Definate Opinion’s Ladbrokes.com Irish Derby challenge have been allayed by the dog’s trainer Pat Guilfoyle who reports that the dog will be fit to run for his life on Saturday night at Shelbourne Park.
The Cesarewitch and Dundalk International winner was disappointing in the second round when being overtaken by Blazers Black after looking an assured winner. However Guilfoyle cleared up the mystery when reporting that the dog was sore after the race but he is very hopeful that the problem will have been rectified before this weekend’s action. Said Pat: “He didn’t run the third bend properly and gave away a few lengths on it. I knew there was some problem and it transpired that he was very sore in the neck and shoulders. He has been treated for it ever since and he seems to be almost perfect. I am very hopeful you will see a different dog on Saturday night”. Nothing less than his best would suffice in Heat 3 on Saturday where Tyrur Big Mike and Colorful Champ will be high profile opponents and the race is completed by Monleek Bay, Jim Said So and Cookies Fantasy. No other problems have been reported in advance of the third round heats. By the way, entries are invited for open races on the nights of the quarter finals, semi-finals and final. The final night card will include open races over every distance from 350 up to 850 yards and also an open bitch 525. |

Grant is ok
The very welcome news to emerge on Sunday morning was that Westmead Grant is perfectly okay after that serious scare the previous night in Heat 2 of the Derby. The dog checked up badly approaching the pick-up and was then carried from the track. The word spread like wildfire that he had sustained a broken hock. However Fraser Black was able to report this morning that everything is fine with the son of Droopys Scolari and Mega Delight. “He is fine. The vet, Ted Collins, checked him out after the race and could find nothing and he walked to the van okay. This morning there is not a problem with him. It was strange but it probably was a dead leg”. Thankfully the dog was injured to add to a horrific week for trainer Black. Two of his classy trackers Forest Boss and Must Be Cantona broke hocks on Friday and Thursday nights respectively while he lost two young dogs the previous weekend. He deserves a serious turn of luck. Who knows, perhaps in the Derby! |

What to you think of big mike out of t2?

By:
it's a horrid draw, think he's lucky the 3 and 4 don't really come away so may be able to escape it, hopefully anyway
|

By:
It's difficult to know who will lead to the bend. The race might set-up for thurlesbeg joker.

Think Tyrur McGuigan offers the only piece of value left in the Derby. 16/1 is huge with VC and 14's with the sponsors. He looks a carbon copy to Tyrur Rhino and has got the easier of the semi final draws. Very big price even if Big Mike looks flawless on what he's shown in the last two weeks!

Hats My Boy is still big @ 20/1 [;)]
|
|
By:
agree com, put him up on the forum this time last week as outstanding value at 50/1 e/w with boyles, i dont think he will win the derby but was great e/w value, S.F im sweating on hats my boy backed him at 100/1 e/w first 6 again with boyles after the 1/round heats i will be happy if he gets through on sat, pity theres no place betting with betfair i would be glad to lay him.[:(][:p]
|

By:
he will win saturday [;)]
|
|
By:
Wouldn't be surprised if McGuigan won on Saturday even tho I'm on the Bullet. As much as he's the best dog in the Derby, I could also envisage Big Mike struggling on Saturday if he misses the break! You're lookin good with those two bets tho Frank [;)]

By:
hope your right m8.[smiley:crazy]

By:
the 50/1 tyrur mcguigan looks much much better because of the draw. i think i was personally lucky there. swap over the trap 5's and i wouldnt be so happy. Or even outside of bullet in this heat. If we clear under, hoping tyrur makes it.
Got a few quid up to lay hats at 17.00, just think foyle and tyrur go to the bend, and then you got hats-k95-bullet chasing 2 places to pip foyle. |

By:
after looking at the q/finals a few times i can only say that i think mes blue and dromore hero will go out on sat, in the 2nd heat i just cant call what might happen foyle storm is a lot better then punters think have a look at the last bend when he seemed to turn his head over towards ty mcguigan loseing ground as a result, if he breaks from trap one he could cause a shock.ballymac under has plenty early as well , very hard to call heat2.
