Nice position with Oscar and Paddy eastmead [;)]

Long way to go P/F, you are right good position at the moment.
My number one is still JFK but worried that his litter brothers look promising hope Dolores was right.
Maldini train is gaining momentum. [:)]

red robbo did the trainer say on sky elwick bolero aint going for next years derby, i hope it aint just because he cant be bothered to travel down to wimb up to 6 times

Does anyone know what has happened to Moneygall Obama?  Ran well in last years comp but not been seen since winning at Wimbledon in July

Not on sky Ravage but in RP on trainers view of final.Hope he has a rethink soon.

Would Elwick Bolero have enough early for the Derby ?  He struggled at Brough in a very poor Puppy Derby.

Farley Blitz 2pts e/w @ 50/1
Westmead Maldini 2pts e/w @ 66/1
Farloe Force 2.5pts e/w @ 50/1

at the moment I'm relying a lot on Owen McKenna bringing them over! Don't see why he wouldn't

maldini 66
grant 200's, I know i know, ew first 6 a year older maybe he will mature and even if he is still as screwey hard to knock out

oh and barefoot bullett 66, another quirky competition type

Eastmead - Took below from Mark's website re Blonde Snapper.  Knew you were looking for news. [;)]

Talking of the Derby forgotten dog Blonde Snapper is now back in the kennel after returning from Ireland where he disastrously suffered an injury preparing for the Harolds Cross Puppy Derby back in September. Now given a clean bill of health he will be prepared also with the Derby in mind. Adageo last year's finalist from the kennel has had problems with what seemed an innocuous injury suffered in a sprint trial at Monmore but is now also on the road to recovery and he could again go well in next year's premier Classic.

Thanks 3132 really good news [:D]

oscar 50/1 25/1 20/1 go go champ

Rathangan trainer Dolores Ruth is a determined lady and she is launching a mighty challenge for this year’s William Hill English Derby at Wimbledon with a planned team of eight.

Currently she plans to run eight in the English classic and is determined to give them the very best opportunity. Next Thursday she will travel to England for two weeks with the eight contenders and will spend two weeks in which the dogs will have two trials each around Wimbledon and hopefully a race before she returns home.

The team of eight is led by Town View Foods Champion Stakes winner Makeshift and he is backed up by the mighty Razldazls, Lord, Alice (late Cartiers Dazzle), George, Jayfkay, Barack and Joe in addition to Kingo.

Dolores on her return will divide her runners between the Tote Gold Cup and the Easter Cup and it will then be full steam ahead to Wimbledon.

The Ruth dogs have been showing excellent form with Barack and Joe winning impressively last Saturday while Jayfkay (18.55) and Makeshift (18.73) have gone very well in trials.

does anyone know the date the derby is getting held this year ? cant find it anywhere on the net.
cheers in advance
john

1st Round 12th + 13th + 14th May
2nd Round 20th + 21st May
3rd Round 28th May
Quarter Final 31st May
Semi Final 4th June
Final 11th June


Obviously the 1st round will be 3 days if enough entries

I thought the final was the 28th

phew

It was meant to be on then but was changed as the Champions League Final is on that night at Wembley

Boher Paddy sprint trial at Nottingham tonight 18.01 -10  Good return.

farley blitz back with b draper

Brilliant news mint always assumed he would return to them. Did the clock at Monmore when with them (Tipoki did it the year before)must top up my A/P.[;)]

Makeshift would be interesting at 50-1.Had a tenner on.

Has Yahoo Jamie had a blowout in 2011 yet?

Enda a big doubt for Wimbledon now has a bad wrist and is lame again

Good support for JFK over de last 2 days

Jayfkay win or lose is the worst value in the market surely, done nothing in his career so far to justify the price

JFK does seem a little short now. However he was only 1/2 length off fastest time of year round Kilkenny,two 28.7 trials at Wimbledon as green pup - trainer seems very keen on his chances.
We will learn more tomorrow when he trials round Wimbledon again.

Must be value.

Good evening English Derby AP players
Had my first bet today: 2pts win 1pt place Bandicoot Tipoki with Paddies. As a new account; I qualified for a free bet so then had Loosen my Load in the Jewson at Cheltenham at 12s as well.
I have to admit that I agree with Birchy on this one. 50/1 is a silly price about last year's winner. He showed he's still got what it takes when winning at the Don last week. Despite his age, he has only had 46 races and absolutely loves the Don. He has won 8 of his 13 races at the track and only finishd out of the first two once, when finding trouble in the 2009 quarter final. Blonde Snapper fans should remember that he set a TR of 28.26 in the first round last year.
I usually enter the Derby with about 8 or 9 AP bets but have hung back this year. I will probably add about four or five to my portfolio before the racing starts if anything stands out or catches my eye.

Good luck to you all, can't wait till May 12th.

but does he like that first bend at wimbledon!

Blue Artisan and Blonde Snapper so far, 40s and 33s, was just going to top up on here but prices are better in shop, really fancy Artisan to go all the way

I had a bit of blue sq Juvenile/Derby Double 120/1 Blue Artisan so hope your right.

Makeshift 50/1
Droopys Greg 40/1 and 16/1
Blue Artisan 33/1

Backed Atrisan again today in Paddys at 33s, they cut to 25s after

For me, I would be reluctant to back the dogs at the head of the market at those skinny prices. I think you need to be really sure the dog is a SUPERSTAR to go in at those odds (a bit like College Causeway the year he won the Irish Derby - we all knew what he could do from the year before)

Paddy & Greg etc are all still youngsters and I personally don't know them well enough.

JFK is hyped up and priced up.

Oscar is a bit of value relative to these as there wasn't much between him and Rayvin Giovanni

Blue Artisan still represents a little value. So does Makeshift

I'd say the value has to be Farloe Force. IMO he is a dog with plenty of improvement in him - something he has already shown in his second run in Shawfield. I was really impressed with him the first tome I saw him in Shelbourne.

A crazy bet would be Westmead Grant (his brother Bolt is worth considering too) he's running well in Shawfield and might yetshow the ability he showed at as a puppy and hinted at now and then last year. (his first round win in Ir Derby and his effort against Farley Turbo on final night in particular) he's still only 3&1/2 and some would argue he's not left everything on the track so he's still fresh[smiley:crazy] you never know!

I'd almost forgotten their half brother Maldini who is still good value. I think he's another dog with some improvemnt to make but his form this spring isn't bad and is a hard dog to keep out of the first 3.

anyone know if tyrur enda has any chance of regaining fitness in time for a plough lane appearance?

I posted a while ago that PJ said he was more than hopeful, im not sure if anything has changed

thanks SF, fingers crossed

no problem tobe, if i hear anything else i'll post it up here

please god he gets there

jeez this is getting painful whats happened Baldfred? Has he grown a pair, last year he would only let me have 12p on Mesedo Blue @ 66/1 but happily layed my Tubbertelly Dubh bet suppose i should not complain

Is TD defo travellin over??

SF, see that hills have today added enda to market again at 25s, while corals have dropped him from list...

Just had my second bet; 1/2 point each way Ten Large Down 100/1 with the sponsors. Just think the 100s is too big about last years' Juvenile winner as he seems to going alright and if he wins the Blue Riband wil sulrey shorten. B364 are going 150s but I don't have an account and am not going to open one just to get restricted. be interesting to see how she seeds TLD after last years business[;)]

Not travelling BJG, way too go Fotune and ramp it up FFS [>o]

really is the worst ante post Derby book i've ever had, think i'll give the sh|thole a miss this year

Heard they were nt goin over but saw it up on igb that it was the plan

Had nt got involved yet tho thankfully

Yeah i thought they must have changed plans when it was on IGB, pain in d ass, he shouldn't be putting idle talk like that up unless its from trainer or owner

PF has tyrur enda had a trial at shelbourne  today? been shorten up in a few places.y

WAS thinking maybe ENDA as last bet not sure he stand 6 rounds round wimbledon

Dolores Ruth has decided to add Razldazl George to her Williamhill.com English Derby team following his excellent performance in the final of the Easter Cup at Shelbourne on Saturday night.

Originally George was being aimed at the Hegarty 600 but his fine performance on Saturday night has earned the son of Kinloch Brae and Razldazl Pearl to the Wimbledon team. Other members of the raiding party are Razldazl Jayfkay and Razldazl Lord. The dogs will all be given trials around the Plough Lane circuit on Saturday night.

What at one stage had looked like a pretty weak numerical challenge for the Williamhill.com English Derby has taken on an entirely different look with the news that Conor Fahy will be bringing over a team of at least five dogs for the event.

It will be the first time for young Fahy, who has held a training licence for just over a year, to have runners outside the country.

The five dogs penned in for the trip at present are Tyrurs Domingo, Carey, O Gorman, Gasco and Lohan while Fahy will also bring over the highly rated puppy Tyrur Bobby Jo for the unraced competition.

Said owner PJ Fahy yesterday: “I have thought long and hard about it and decided that there are only a few Derbys in the year, so why not have a go. There isn’t much for them here at that stage and we have McGuigan and Big Mike for the Irish Derby. The dogs will go over on the ferry on Tuesday night and will have their trials on Wednesday morning.

“Lohan was added in to the team as he appears to be in great form. He has had a lot of injury problems but he has the pace to beat anything, so we are giving him his chance”.

Paul Hennessy has confirmed that he is likely to have a team of two runners for the Williamhill.com English Derby which commences next week.

Barefoot Bullet is a definite starter and it is increasingly likely that he will be joined by Tranquil Time which will have a trial this morning. The trial was due to take place yesterday but a mechanical failure ruled it out.

However Hennessy said: “He ran Wimbledon well last year and he seems to have come right. I will give him a sprint trial in the morning and maybe even a race at Shelbourne on Saturday. He will then head over with Barefoot Bullet next week. Our team will be based as usual with Brian Clemenson”.

The Gowran trainer is particularly keen on Barefoot Bullet’s prospects. “We decided to aim the dog at the English Derby as he ran Wimbledon so well last year when he was unlucky to be knocked out in the quarter finals when one of the favourites to win out.

“We deliberately didn’t run him since he ran in the Irish Derby final. Bryan and Kathleen (Murphy) were anxious to have a serious crack at the English Derby so we are going there with a fresh dog and I was delighted with his 18.70 sprint trial at Shelbourne a few weeks ago”.

Hennessy had also intended running Mt Leinster Hill in the Derby but he disappointed in his trial around Wimbledon on Saturday and that plan was scrapped.

that's what i've got running for me, obviously been quite a few disappointments but there ya go the perils of ante post punting

Good Luck with your bets

SF have to say I quite like the look of Kerrydale and at those prices you must be pretty happy!

Looks like he has done a nice couple of trials round SP in preparation. Do you know if he was injured in last race and thats why he has been off track for so long?

He ran so poor at Newcastle im hoping something was amiss, worried about the long lay off but he's had plenty of trials and they have been godd trials so hopefully he takes to Wimbledon and can show what a good dog he is
