final night card is up, lacks wow factor for me (the Night Of Stars really has overtaken it)
|
|
By:
wash my mouth out, can;t believe i am about to post this but the sprint looks just about the best race of the night
|
|
By:
Personally, I'm plenty happy enough with that card. Agree interesting sprint and bitches race, too. Vulturi versus Morning Music could be a good race and a close call. Dont want to say anything about the Plate but could be in for a big windfall. Save The Don due a flier and Cafu looking to atone. Even after the Derby, quality 'hounds on parade like Fair Taxes, Ballymac Bonnie, Rural Hawaii, Coran Sky and Ballyhooley Henry. Very pleased. Just want some half-decent prices now!

Amazing, you had you're biggest bet of the year on Tyrur Van Gaal as he was in your words "different class" & said you bet Deanridge Pennys e/w but are now in for a big windfall ? I need staking planning tips of you Woody |
|
By:
The Plate final is one of the more interesting races for me down to how they've priced it off course, i really do like one in that at the prices

Woody has polluted this forum for four years ebul and before he came it had some decent opinions and tips on here.
Most of those contributors don't post anymore and many couldn't be bothered arguing with the ejit. Glad you like him , soon there will only be two of you left.  |

Initial thoughts:
Suspect 7/2 Ballymac Matt can follow Farloe Blitz round again but this time, nail him on the pay-stick 7/4 Laughil Duke runs the risk of being clobbered but if securing a clear enough passage, his fine middle prowess should take him into the reckoning third bend and could be right in contention business end Kilmore Drifter is a nippy type and hopeful of a decent run in competitive sprint Samiya came from behind to lead up in Ballydoyle Honey a round of the Derby and has an obvious chance to me Vulturi just does enough, hard to contain but short so looking to double with TV Trophy winner Ballymac Bonnie, hoping for about 3/1 combined Although due a ping, the projection says you may not get a great deal of mileage out of Save The Don, so looking at a likely big price Blue Cafu to make up for disappointments Fair Taxes isnt really blessed with tremendous early but fancied to assert from about the third bend at the main expense of speedy Drumsna Castle Smart performer Rural Hawaii looks sure to put his rivals to the sword and can do the job, if not too excessively wide off the final bend. You've got to rub your eyes to believe Minor Bounds latest clocking. Out to prove it wasnt a flash in the pan Ballyhooly Henry shapes as if 600yds right up his street and could send punters home with a bang!  No prices yet, but they're your winners anyway! |

By:
Thanks woodmanchester

By:
Well, they all say lay my fancies, so you might get better prices B*ylesports etc now
 |
|
By:
You can get 4/1 Ballymac Matt, if you fancy it
|
|
By:
Think Matt was shorter than that 2 or 3 rounds prior!
|
|
By:
He didn't have any injury doubts 2-3 rounds ago
|
|
By:
Didnt know he was injured. Just heard he was tired before semis? Was closing down Farloe Blitz at the finish anyway and seemed fine to the pick-up?
|
|
By:
Closing on Blitz at the line - what price would you have made him at the 3rd bend when up Blitz's hole ? This is a dog that's come from behind over 600y and done 32:13 for the 600y trip
As much as i like Highview Apollo there is no way in the world he should have been running down Ballymac Matt the round before, you would expect Matt to beat Apollo following him around sure. The dog is tired? From what? Surely running 3 week straight can't have knackered him that much as the alarm bells have been ringing from round 4 onwards. I can't have the tired argument unless he is one proper soft fckr He has hardly had a hard schedule, he had 1 race in May before going to Wimbledon, then he had 3 races in June (in the 600), then one race around Tralee in July and then nothing until the middle of August and the start of the Derby. |
|
By:
If they can get him right / back to his best he is very dangerous and the price is too big
|
|
By:
Said earlier on thread, changed his style of running. Yes, 600yds fine in the past but shooting out now. Very much an exceptional tool a dog who does it both ends?
|
|
By:
what price do u think the fav will start sat pf pls? if u wanted to back it would u take the 11-8 now or wait? THX IN ADVANCE WELLIE!!
|
|
By:
take it
|
|
By:
i know im not pf but think he will be nearer evens than 11\8
|

By:
If this was not the Derby final the dog would be odds on, he is the best drawn and a certain leader unless making a total balls of it, Matt has a tough draw with Cable Bay not wanting to be that far in and Peregrine Falcon inside him and Gaytime Hawk will need to smash to clear the 3 and 4
|
|
By:
Gaytime Hawk and Cable Bay picked up Farloe Blitz in an earlier round and chances again, even Matt if one gets a run behind Blitz, imo. The choice is a simple one, Blitz or the field. Know which way I'd jump
 |
|
By:
Farloe Blitz ran an absolute cracker the night he got picked up, he didn't come away from 6 that night and Gaytime Hawk came away running and Blitz only barely went around. He was probably as impressive in that race as any in the Derby as he showed he can stick to it when he didn't get everything his own way. Anyway the most startling thing about that race that night wa the huge amount of ground Cable Bay made up on Gaytime Hawk.
What price are you laying Blitz at them Woody ? |
|
By:
If Blitz comes away as he has the 2 times he has been in that beautiful red box he will be near 2L up at the finish line first time and god knows how far ahead by the 1st bend and then the sprint boxes, they'll have a mountain to climb

BETQUACK 2.52 £1440 thx again GLK WHATEVER U PLAY!
|
|
By:
aye good luck, the only dog i could back in the final as well is Blitz
I will be cheering on Peregrine Falcon (for connections) but unfortunately i give him little chance from the draw and i didn't like the way he finished his race up the straight last week. |
|
By:
pretty much most are masters of training a greyhound over there, but i rate Graham highly (had graders with him Portsmouth shrewdest trainer i've ever known) and if gaytime gets a sighter reckon he could back runs blitz tbh, looked like he idled a touch to me last run still has loads in tank
but fair play to blitz maybe they learnt from English derby paced him out nicely for final |
|
By:
also they barely know what a weight variation is over there rock solid weights week in week out..
bags schedule obvi very grueling but looks a joke shop in comparison lol |
