exocet tought run very well tonight and got the draw in the next round will bet it to win outright

Price dependent, of course, Atkins? Went to Coral to watch but Wimbledon RPGTV not being shown. Woman manager very unhelpful, seemed to have a strop on, so went home, just in time to catch end of Diva/Tango race.

Seems very little on the clock between Bridge Honcho 29.59, Exocet .68 and Calzaghe Davy .71

Sawpit Sensation, Matthecat, Redbrick Stuart and Aghaburren Paddy not far behind, either

No mention of BOLD THREE woody ? hasn't raced since irish derby final night and yet put a 29.69 on the board last night , still unbeaten at notts .good draw in the semi and more importantly im on at 16s ! lol good luck everyone

Yeah Ser, Bold Three too. Always said fast and loads of ability but cost me a small fortune in Ireland

Quite happy with 8/1 Sawpit at the start. Didnt run badly. Scratching my head why 12/1 now
Report dr . atkins • November 9, 2013 2:06 PM GMT
woodmanchester.seen sawpit run twice at nott in the last 3weeks can understand why its gone to 12t1 its been very one pace and dont look fast enough at the mo could be still rusty after lay off but doubt it
Report woodmanchester • November 9, 2013 2:22 PM GMT
Thanks. Just know what the dog is capable of. 29.16 electric track record winning this contest beating Taylors Sky, Farloe Tango and Boher Paddy last year. About 21 wins out of 52 races in this country. Besides, if rusty should improve and only beaten 2 lengths by Exocet in the heats?
Report dr . atkins • November 9, 2013 2:36 PM GMT
yes but exocet went right out of traps and never got a clear run to off the 2nd bend and never took it up until the running and with me if exocet trap in front with a clear run to bend sawpit would not pick it up unless its got 6 legs at this moment in time
Report Ravage Again • November 9, 2013 4:11 PM GMT
Woody Sawpit ran **** it was one length behind Exocet half way and a certainy it never picked up at all

It murdered the t3 dog last week and just caught it on the line should have been 3-4 length in front of it

It's got the same chance of winning as that hove dog had, knee fooking chance Laugh

Besides, Hills still only go 8/1 and theyre usually fairly good at assessing a dogs chances

this is the same hills that went odds on droopys jet immediately after the derby final draw and put up 50/1 about chicago who is now 2/1 to win the puppy derby, what a great job they do Love

Some quite big disprepancies at the top:

Exocet 5/2 - 7/2
Davy 11/4 - 11/2
Honcho 6/1 - 9/1
Lightning 6/1 - 15/2
Bold 7/1 - 10/1
Sawpit 8/1 - 12/1

If you believe the winner comes from the top 8 in the betting, bringing in Bob and Stuart, seems youre looking at an over-broke book. Complaints about poor betting earlier, seems fair enough now?
Report dr . atkins • November 13, 2013 2:24 PM GMT
fair play to hills they have kept exocet at 7t2 and they have layed it.
Report lockup • November 13, 2013 6:38 PM GMT
would be great to see Honcho win something after such a bad injury but Davy catches the eye.
Report woodmanchester • November 14, 2013 5:41 PM GMT
Early betting:

1st semi, 13/8 Bridge Honcho, 5/2 Bold Three, 4/1 Redbrick Stuart, 7/1 Bar
2nd semi, 4/7 Exocet, 7/1 Bar
3rd semi, 15/8 Calzaghe Davy, 5/2 Jaytee Lightning, 4/1 Sawpit Sensation, 7/1 Bar

First impressions Bold Three could be okay, quite like 7/1 Matthecat ew in the 2nd semi on heat form and 7/1 Romeo Recruit more than fair, if he puts his best foot forward.

Anyway, got 7/1 Calzaghe Davy, 8/1 and 12/1 Sawpit Sensation. Hope Slippery Sooty qualifies 1st semi. Got little bet, also antepost, at 40/1 ew for a very nice win

Good luck!

Thanks Baldie for going best prices my 3 fancies to win their semis tonight: 3/1 Bold Three, 4/5 Exocet and 9/4 Calzaghe Davy. £1 Trixie and £1 extra treble pays £72.85, fiver staked. Got Davy antepost but not backed Sawpit Sensation or Slippery Sooty tonight. At this stage, just hoping they reach the final and see what happens.

Good luck!

tonight could be the last time 66/1 will be on offer about Calzaghe Davy for the Derby.

Can't see Exocet getting a run tbh looks a lay

But would not lay it at 4-5

Going Corals again to hopefully watch this time. This time RPGTV might be on. Wasn't last week and had to rush home for Leger. Manageress got in a right strop when I asked her about it, saying: "We have no control over what's being shown." But they have, the old manager used to flick channels for me, like to Coral TV2

Draw for next Wednesday's final:

1 Exocet
2 Calzaghe Davy
3 Bridge Honcho
4 Sawpit Sensation
5 Aghaburren Paddy
6 Airlie Impact

Exocet and Honcho were impressive semi winners last night and Davy just held Sawpit. Going off the splits, Sawpit should be last crossing the line first time in the decider but if smashing like last year, could have every chance. Besides, he's got a fine record racing out of the coffin box. Never been out of the first two, 5 wins and 4 seconds. The other three have very closely matched splits and with Exocet likely to move off, there could be trouble towards the inner. If one of them breaks free though, will take some beating. The quality of dogs worth going a long way to see

Sorry, can't have Airlie here at all.  Messed about over Leger trip he can't now even break 30 secs, with a clearie.  He'll do extra well to get a run here.  Honcho very well in for me.

I'm thinking Sawpit only needs to come away slightly better to gain the outside from Airlie and Agha, game on!

Happy enough with 11/2 Calzaghe Davy, 8/1 and 12/1 Sawpit Sensation. With Exocet in there too, wonder if the outcome will have any bearing on the Greyhound Of The Year Award?

with me if exocet leads it wins simple nothing will pick it up stays the 500m really well

think 7/2 is a very nice bet doc, hope you collect (in mask Laugh)

should be plenty of 6/4 to lay on here should you wish, would be very surprised if you have to lay bigger looks very solid tbh
