I think Paradise Maverick at 12/1 E/W with P.P. is a good bet, should quilify from the 5 dog heat, Nidge is the the best dog left but could find a lot of trouble in the other heat,..Good call on Blake on your 7th of march post P.f...Glad to hear we will see him again[he did a few of us a big favour last year]

As said, no real vested interest in Easter Cup, other than Derby antepost but Blake injured (hopefully make a speedy recovery), so would like Sidarian Blaze to do very well. Just small bet 33/1 Gaytime Hawk, gave Coran Sky a mention at 25/1 too and saved Slippery Fred. Nidge isnt likely to go with the early-birds. Big threat to all and sundry if getting a run though. Therein lies his chance. Should be a good final. Interesting card and will be keeping an eye on Tynwald Bish, Highview Apollo and Kisses For Cloda
Good luck! |

Anybody else noticed the Shelbourne racecard now??
Distance 550y / 503m - but then the interesting part is underneath Act 549.1y  That was never on the racecard before, i have last weeks in front of me as well and it does not have that on it, you wouldn't be too impressed if you lost a big stake a SH over 550y rocketing home |
|
By:
thats on all card now pf, even limerick. thought they could have measured that one right
|
|
By:
seems to be the same with a lot of horse racing tracks as well - bit bizarre to say the least
Kilkenny's would have been interesting in the past  |
|
By:
Think many tracks not spot on and estimated distances. Even happened years ago when i remember Belle Vue being re-measured. The original distance was some way out. They used to race over 465m and 645m. Not sure how it works, but is it measured around the rails? Obviously, wide dogs will run further anyway
|

By:
Think i seem to remember it was measured a yard out from the inner running rail?
|
|
By:
503 metres equates to 550.1 yards so they have lost a full yard somewhere .
|
|
By:
think its somewhere on the back straight

Possible printing error?
What's the old saying Measure twice print once |

Final tonight, but not much said since semis where there was an epic tussle between Sidarian Blaze and Slippery Fred. Not surprisingly, the books not finding it easy to separate the pair. As said several times, backed Fred but would be happy to see Blaze win for English Derby antepost interests. Bidding to spring a surprise is Gaytime Hawk on whom I've an interest at 33/1
Sticking with Tynwald Bish in the sprint (could succeed with a better break) and think Quick Jack ought to go well. Eliminated from their recent respective competitions but should be a good buckle between Crackling Jack and Beaming Bucko, with Crackling just getting the nod, imo. Last race well worth waiting for with back-to-form Redwood Mick taking on the equally smart Paradise Maverik. Even Miss Wales' protagonist Riverside Pat chances, faster than both Easter Cup semi winners last week Good luck! |

Blaze beat Fred. Slightly more comfortably this time
|
|
By:
He gave Fred a cold down the back !
Fred moved off that rail down the back race Fred with that early more of Wimbo dog than blaze IMO Leave blaze in Ireland for the Irish IMO Champion stakes |
|
By:
not taken much for fred, blaze was smashed last night after winning. And has been been with out sidarian dogs all at the same time??
Had blaze a massive winner last year when he got eliminated. (thought he was fairly unlucky when going out) and since won 2 big comps now and second in another. Hope he comes over, looks proper comp dog to me. CORAL offered me 2quid for blaze at 40/1.  |
|
By:
^been bet with other sidarian dogs all at the same time.
|
|
By:
Thanks Lanza. Dont say that Fatty, Blaze is my biggest English Derby winner and there's already a question mark over other big potential payout Blake!
|
|
By:
Will they send Blaze across for it, if he was mine he would be staying here for the Champion Stakes and Derby. The Don could ruin him imo
|
|
By:
Why would Wimbo ruin him Chopper. Went last year and he's obviously fine now. Just think he was a bit unlucky. Do you just mean why swop to the English air and all the travelling when he's doing so well in Ireland. Good point but Quarter Mill prizes dont come along every day. Why turn your nose up at a tilt if youve got a dog good enough to compete?
