As a massive fan of hurdle racing I thought last years Springbok was possibly the worst in living memory and with the exception of possibly four hurdlers the bunch I have seen at trials and in trials stakes this year are probably worse.
It is all well and good being fast on the flat with a kink but the majority of these cannot jump. Droopys Stevie, Westmead bertie and Razldazl Butch are the three for me and are short for a reason. Some of those trading at 16's and 20's are 50s chances if not higher Outsider to make the final if they seed it correctly Springwood Ali (needs to be seeded Middle) |

I've backed the jumbo
Raw pace just hope he keeps smashing out like he can leave the playing till after the line! would of thought he have a look some stage this week Might play assasin ew fast as anythink about just don't won't him hitting the front till the last ! |

BETTY is spot on. From a comp that got me into Greyhound racing(My first proper bet was on SELBY BILL), and used to be a real favourite of mine, last years comd was hardly that. This year is not much better but from what i have seen or think could happen DROOPYS STEVIE is the dog i would be siding with. I have not played a bean yet but probably will do for nostalgia, but if you go back 10 years or even less this used to be a cracking comp which attracted alot of interest.

thought westmead bertie looked half decent live

Razldazl Butch impressive victory in a trial stakes tonight
|

Someone needs to buy the RM some glasses and a calculator. Some of the racecard comments from last night are beyond belief for the Trials stakes are hilarious.
Best Springbok in years according to some. God help us |

By:
Butch had solo when the two moved off
that two had a major look in running ! her other heat winner took off down the back than seemed to stop rd the 3-4 bend than got on with it ! I don't this being a major comp where 5 or 6 can win I only see two dogs winning it there front two in the market ! |
|
By:
Not so sure Fatty. Butch still did a time and heard theyre quietly confident about Cofi
|

Things hotting up with four cracking trial stakes tonight. Apart from antepost fav Cornamaddy Jumbo and Droopys Stevie, all the big players go through their paces and wouldn't surprise me if the outright winner is amongst them.
Only had thrown one dart so far 5/1 Castlelyons Cofi, but eased out to 6/1. If doing well tonight, might top up when others priced up. Not really the biggest fan of hurdle racing, but think there could be some jumpers to follow come out of this year's competition |
|
By:
By the time this starts every dog be stag!! Ffs
|
|
By:
thing is some dogs been rd so many times
like the nuts they mostly are get fed up IMO |
|
By:
can't work out how anyone would need to bet screws and bad jumpers....comedy event
|
|
By:
Does anyone know if Romeo Acclaim is alright after that fall in the second trial stakes? Didn't show it on the stream.
|
|
By:
Acclaim fine apparently, Toteboard.
Castlelyons Cofi impressive . Led just before the bend, drew clear and beat Teejaysblackhawk and Be Real very easily, 29.62.Westmead Bertie utilised the inside to kick on the rails first bend, beat Newinn Hawk. Razaldazl Butch no kind of run, stayed on for third Assassin Eight moderately away, early pace, led and cosy enough. Bubbly Jaytee ran on for silver, 30.28. Viva Las Bocko won the other race, 30.36. |

By:
Thanks Wooody, glad to hear :) TBH, these trials don't really tell us a lot in my experience, except who to avoid.
|

By:
Antepost fav Cornamaddy Jumbo has disappeared on Oddschecker, but pretty sure it's just an error. Indeed, the top 3 in the betting, Jumbo, Razldazl Butch and Castlelyons Cofi are all due to compete against each other in a trial stakes this Saturday. The outcome should be very informative. Be Real and Bubbly Jaytee add to the interest in this 5-dogger
|
|
By:
bit unfair them all being in same race imo
its the favs first look hes got bit on his plate to dear with pretty unfair i think |
|
By:
id rather bet on there being no more rain for rest of year than the Spingbok...fast dogs that can and cant jump, slow dogs that can and a bit of both. hmmm
|
|
By:
agree Swayne . With entrance limited to those dogs who have not won a hurdles race before the start of this year, the outcome looks anything but certain.
|
|
By:
True Swayne, but every now and then a gem gets earthed up. Looking for a novice who could run up a winning sequence

By:
Did you see that Cornamaddy savage his nearest pursuer just after the line the other night? How could anyone have his or her hard-earned on that?
|
|
By:
Some "thinkers" get distracted when overtaking a much slower dog. They are bred for hunting, after all?
|
|
By:
last trial stakes saturday is a bit warm
cant see the point in running all the good dogs against each other ? |
|
By:
Case, different divisions. Racing manager has no option but to put best entered dogs in the top heat? Agree though, should be discretionary
|
|
By:
INTRESTING RACE THAT WAS
CORNAMADDY will need to break better cos he does not stay that strong cofi run well butch came from off the pace my well have joint favs of 3 imo 4/1 |
|
By:
Butch has ran a Stormer ,Jumbo has stopped dead, barely made Drop, on that performance either butch or cofi behind he wins nothing
on a positive note he didnt take 3s head off as it went by ![]() |
|
By:
cos he was **** case breathing though his ass round the last turn your hope mark got a bit left in the tank come bok time
|
|
By:
Butch fastest dog In comp IMO
|
|
By:
agree value jumped very well also
![]() |
|
By:
Happy with Cofi. Took 5s and not sure why drifted to 6s but 9/2cf now
|
|
By:
Cornamaddy Jumbo was recently 5/2 but must have been disappointing in the trial stakes, coz now 5/1 each of three with Castlelyons Cofi and Razaldazl Butch. I didn't see the race. What's happened to Droopys Stevie, was prominent in the betting but now disappeared?
|
|
By:
Stevie injured.
Jumbo - didn't stay Poor competition over all. Between Bertie, Butch and Cofi in that order for me |
|
By:
Thanks, still wouldn't swop Cofi at this juncture, then
|
|
By:
Jumbo ran flat saturday imo .I wouldnt write him off ,stevie was the other trail blazer in comp ,not much left will lead Jumbo ..
|
|
By:
Think Scolari express could go well but no value ew

Looking at Heat 4 you would have to wonder how many will get round lol. Cash Game swerves all over the place. Springwood Ali (how the hell has that been seeded rails) will be in trap S by the first hurdle. TJ's will move left. Forest Com will need to break and Alittlelesslip will need to hope that Bee Eff Gee doesn't bite his head off
|
|
By:
could not say cash game a natural over the sticks
![]() got the draw thou in that heat |
|
By:
alittlelesslip 14s a real novice but could be value.

By:
Betty, sounds like a typical hurdle race then!
