Night Of Stars, Shelbourne Saturday November 14th

I see some English trained entered already, Swift Keith being one for a middle distance race. Now nothing against this dog or connections (he has been a really good dog) but what on earth has this dog achieved this year to get a place in either the 525 or 550 over an Irish runner? Semi finalist of the All England Cup (got through 1 round) and semi finalist in the Yarmouth Derby (got through 2 rounds) is pretty much the highlight of his year but no doubt he will get a place ahead of an Irish runner and he won't be the only one.

I am sure my views will go down like a lead balloon with most from over there but I do know some owners (from the UK) who actually share my opinion.

I'd say swift Keith been wearing a pair of lead boots most of year ! Only race I saw him take part in was Derby final !

night end part of that sentence !

hope im wrong, but you get the feeling the english trainers think they only have to enter and their in

I think Anglo-Irish confrontations make for a good night

Mesi, you could well be right. Personally I can't think of one dog that is fit and running in the UK at the moment that would get in any of the Night of Stars races on merit and stand a chance

Agree with last post I think the talent on the ground is very thin as been
For a while

Howabout Eden The Kid and Swift Hoffman, Kerrching?

Neither of them are turning up, pity I would have loved to see Swift Hoffman utterly stuffed and put in his place

Woody, Swift Hoffman on the evidence of his last run he obviously has an injury of some kind. Although I did think if ever a dog running in the UK should of took his place in the Irish derby it was him.

Eden The Kid in my opinion would find it hard work to compete against the top Irish dogs in Ireland.

Think Shelbourne has been running very fast for a long time and some of the times clocked flattering. Sure Eden would more than hold his own over there, as for the Hoff, good as anything when fully firing

Think Comerford heats have been on past years but not so this? Think I read draw for the meeting takes place Monday

Sure to be loads of pointers tonight at Shelbourne and some Select Stakes dogs could be taking part. Looking out for Jaytee Dutch, Slippery Fred and Painstown Chief in particular. Thought Barefoot Artist a shade disappointing at Limerick but returns to the scene of his excellent victory Derby final night. Interested to see how Highview Premier, Tradition, Ballybough Mike, Sidarian Nell, Two Bens and Laughil Bolt fare also. Not sure about Crackling Jack, Crown Champ, Amazing Dude, Fiery Splendour and others currently. Will wait and see

some monster clues dropped by dogs in defeat for me last night, i just hope they go in the right races and don't avoid certain dogs

Thought Barefoot Artist, Priceless Lassie, Slippery Fred, Two Bens did particularly well as highlighted last night. Liked House Doctor too and many could be worth a punt next week. Agree with PF, some dogs dropping hints although defeated. Hush, hush but could be pointless coz doubt any early prices anyway

Stop moaning about early prices ffs, i will price every 10k race to 120% (slightly better than powers and spoils will bet to) and you can bet against me, how about that ?

Thought you wasn't going? Yes please but can you pay me out in sterling

Right i will send you on my prices in a PM on either Thursday or Friday evening (whenever i get the card finished)

No you will be paid in €€€€€€€

That's fine. Much appreciated, with the thumb's up (no icon for that!)

No problem, it will be most likely Friday evening for prices as i am very busy Monday, Tuesday and possibly Wednesday

Look forward to it. Cheers. Getting ready for Sheffield now, first race 5pm. Nice little finals meeting with dogs like Walshes Hill and Maum Legend on the card

Agree with PF, some dogs dropping hints although defeated. Hush, hush but could be pointless coz doubt any early prices anyway

WTF would you know about Irish dogs dropping hints? You are a complete spoofer if ever I heard one!! LOL

I used to find your millions of posts annoying, but they're actually hilarious at this stage! Paid in Sterling?! Like it'd be worth his while laying you 4 or 5/1 for a tenner!

Bog off, numb-skull

Wallis taking Ribble Atom for Night Of Stars

And the dog stays behind to run at Harold X too.

Were the races compiled yesterday. Any news?

Could be tonight but i'd say tomorrow around 4pm

expected soon I hear... due to outside printing card has to be done earlier than normal.

Lets see your list of "hush hush" dogs then, before PF puts his up!

TRADITION is one, but hush hush is hardly the case. Mr Magoo would have spotted her

it's done, got bits and bobs of it so far

sure it's up now

diva

No Keith or Borna

Gameboy, I'd say Dude for one. I follow Irish dogs enough (been Limerick twice this year and Shelbourne, watch videos too) to know something about them, by the way. Don't know why people never come on then, once in a blue moon, come on to criticize rather than stating their opinions about the dogs themselves

Patrick kept Diva quiet! . Some race that 750yds

Good luck mate!

As I posted earlier on the thread Swift Keith had no place on this card and well done Declan Carey for doing right

first time ive smiled since friday seeing that card today !!!!!!!!!

Will you be going Dublin straight from Vegas, Patrick?

Nice to see so many fine Derby night winners on the card and the penultimate race is virtually a re-run of the Derby itself!

I understand connections wanted to run Hee Haws Sheriff in the sprint.

I know he has little comparable form over the trip, but it is hard to see how he was denied a run.

Reilly didn't put him forward in the end DV, he said he didn't know if he would get a run so will put him away for Wimbledon next year, if he strengthens up he will be a major player

stop taking 70's here pf...  

80's with sj and tote/fred.  Stick up some 80's over the other place and get 2% com aswell.

He has done enough for now. Tough campaign with Longford, HX and Waterford all in succession.

Reminds me of Gilbeyhall Josh.

Not me lanza, have and am not playing anything

I have sent you on prices for the 8 10k races on the night Woody, i do not want them finding their way on here!!

365 made a slight effort, unlike B*yles and Power, with betting on 850, 750, 550 and 600 races. Thank goodness for PF bookmakers!

powers are going up in the morning

...but I'm leaving at 6am and dunno how to use my I-phone properly!

weather forecast is horrendous for tomorrow now ffs

Oh dear. Need to wrap up warmly then and my City cap, sheltering me from the rain, will probably get blown away by hurricane Abigail!

"will probably get blown away by hurricane Abigail"

Fingers crossed.

Yeah, really bad weather forecast. Would have cancelled if it wasn't already paid for

Hope turbulence not too wild

Congratulations to SPK and the Irish greyhound community for organising and puting on, once again, such a fantastic celebration of all that is good in greyhound racing, in this one night, NIGHT OF STARS event.  Great stuff, and top marks to all who have entered their dogs to take part - a great effort.
My fancies tonight, and why, as follows.  Good luck to all the greyhounds, I hope they all come off sound and well!

9.42   SPK
575/526   
Save The Don      2        9/4
Laughil Duke             4       13/8
Leave At Dawn            5        9/2   
Duke is well established and Dawn looks to have just come to himself.  They may fight it out middle track – I fancy Dawn to come good.  However, Save The Don looks plotted, with an average starter in 1, and could dominate the race quickly by pinging and leading early.  Has kept top company recently and has to be in tip-top order here.

10.12   SPK
550/503   
Gaytime Hawk        1    9/2
Ballymac Matt              2  10/11
Farloe Rumble              3   10/1
Paradise Silva             4     8/1
Peregrine Falcon           5     6/1
Skywalker Rory             6   11/2   
Probably the race of the night, month, year and century ( so far ) with four Derby finalists involved, including the winner, the St Leger winner and the Dundalk International winner, just for good measure .  Gaytime Hawk had no chance against Matt in the Irish Derby final, when drawn in five, but is plotted tonight, as is Rory, recent St Leger winner in 6.  Matt is well drawn too so a great race is in prospect.  The others are all great dogs and have run brilliantly recently but are not ideally drawn as they are, and will find it very tough to figure in the outcome.  For me Gaytime is so well drawn that he has to be chosen to lead and hold off Matt.  It is a gamble however.  A mouth-watering prospect indeed.

10.27   SPK
600/549   
Ballydoyle Honey   6   8/11   
This is all about Honey, in terms of sentiment, as there can be very few who would begrudge this great, great bitch her victory on this night of rejoicing amongst the Irish greyhound fraternity.  I hope she wins and wins well!

8.12  SPK
525/480   
Greenhill Pearl  1   9/4
Clares Queen            2   7/2
Droopys Aurora          3   4/1   
6 pups with limited race time but Pearl looks well drawn and with two trials runs around here looks likely to run the track and thus a decent bet for me – no more than that – to win this.  Queen and Aurora are both talented but I’m with Pearl as drawn.

8.42   SPK
850/777
Ballymac Bonnie   3     4/5   
Nothing original about this pick but Bonnie is out ahead of these in terms of class and shouldn’t be beat.  Probably the Dowling’s best chance of the night – well done them on sponsoring the 600!  I presume Ribble Atom is here in advance of the long distance Harolds Cross race which is imminent.  With no sighter and a poor draw she’ll struggle to make an impact tonight.

9.27   SPK
750/686   
Vulturi                      1     6/4
Priceless Lassie      2     2/1   
Vulturi led, was passed by Lassie, then came again to get up late the last time they met.  A thriller, and another in store here too.  Since then Lassie has won nicely over this same trip and I fancy her to come on a bit, match Vulturi early, press on mid-race and hold out!  There doesn’t appear to be anything else that might threaten to beat these but you never know.  Full marks to connections of Diva for bringing her over to take part.  No sighter though and tougher opposition here than she met at Wimbledon ( in my opinion ).

Shelbourne clear as day every Saturday on
Oddschecker but come one of there big nights
No where to be seen useless c@@@@

It' there now Fattie, some ricks made, pity i can't take any of them

some heavy satchels leaving the stadium last night

Great night's racing. Not too disappointed Bonnie, Matt and Honey didnt win, coz the winners of those races very worthy, although Matt and Honey cost me a treble and acca.

Didnt stay for the show after racing, where pf said he'd do a streak all over the stadium if Honey got beat! . By all accounts, he was on fire betting-wise though, whereas i just made a small profit thanks to Slippery Fred

great morning in Punchestown despite some early sat-nav probs and the old man not betting quantitive easing?? 

some great racing despite the terrible weather at the dogs, the books must have won a small fortune. Was in the middle of all the Serbian's chanting who let the dogs out.

my old man was in spectacular form at picking dogs that fell out, lol. I lost count of the times the lids opened and he ripped up his ticket.  Had one bet in fred that got some back but felt fairly fortunate there. 

Irish, ??? -The old man bet diva (sorry pat) without the 2 dogs, just one of the few that fell out, tho we nearly collected!  lol. Had fun doing our bollocks.

lol,that sounds exactly like my night mate,awesome weekend tho

after putting all those up ? small profit ? ....don't think so Woody still lying ?

http://www.igb.ie/globalassets/rescource-centre/documents/adverse-analytical-findings.pdf

seems as though not all trainers were that busy

pentobarbital

http://www.drugs.com/mtm/pentobarbital.html

It was in the feed, there are a mental amount more as well to be released

Question: if it was in the feed why do some trainers have dogs that finished 5th and 6th that didn't test positive?
Unless the menu at the kennels is more extensive than it is in my gaff

So every trainer on the list was using the same food/meat? Laughable!! 'Bout time they were caught and named. Hope there's some long bans handed out this time

I have 2 friends who have tested positive for pentobarbital and i know for a fact they where not stopping or driving their dogs.

Some of the posts on other forums are laughable, irregular betting patterns Night Of Stars, Ballydoyle Honey nailed to the floor, all those that tested on the list that ran on the night where nailed when there is very simple reasons why they did not win if you actually look at the races.

Pf how are you ? Not been in much you busy
Hope all well at shelbourne !

I ain't been around too much Fattie, was back in SPK last Saturday night, time to get back into it now January is out of the way, Gold Cup on at the moment is a cracker

Nice to hear All fine

doubt i will be back over there racing until the Derby, we'll have a drink or two then

Last one in London mate

The worst part of all this I think are the guys involved in the sport for years who actually condone this. At the track last week and I hear a guy saying "ahh shur they wouldn't waste the juice on just any old dog, they'd only give it to the good ones" Like that makes it OK then?!

It is a big problem that's it's ingrained in the game over here and it will be a big job to change it and change that way of thinking, however I do for once believe that the crazy  amount of pentobarbital positives is down to contaminated meat

  nout to do with each race being worth.... what 10k??

If the wanted to drive their dogs (on a night when all runners get tested) I really doubt they'd be using pentobarbital, it's amazing how some seen to think they where driving the dogs and elsewhere they're being accused of nailing them
