My sentiments exactly woody. If u look at there facebook page. Sensational renewal quote unquote. If thats the entry they gona get. I wonder if mr fahy will continue to sponsor.That,d be my worry.

On paper it looks very grim indeed
But you never know Might be few super stars ready to be unleashed Rd the oval !! |
|
By:
Maybe just no pups with top class potential. Makes it look bleak for the sport, imo
|
|
By:
Havent they been breeding any pups with classical potential, or something?
|

Got a short-list of four. Waiting for betting, anyway

Think Hills boobed with 14/1 Magical Bale, unless they know something. He's one of the few in the competition looking to have some potential and running Dorotas Wildcat to just over 2 lengths in a sprint trial here augurs well. Shows he has the speed to make his mark
Roxholme Poppy is your ante-post fav and could mature into a useful performer but we've seen widish runners struggle before round these contours, so side-bet is 14/1 Russanda Ripley. More experience than most, nippy on his day and could go deep Forest Mike appears fast but not sure he'll get home, like Prize Fighter Some dogs have already showed signs of 'greenness', so Lightfoot King/Nippy Pippy could be best avoided |

tis bad for the game
why shuld p j keep sponsoring ? hes cut his numbers suffered ill health still puts up this prize ....and look at the response ....pathetic ! |

By:
Well after the disaster that was the derby what would expect
Takes some track to make Sonic Droopys Buick And even clares rocket looked paceless on the run up sometimes Irish trainers ain't turned up Wright ain't turned up with any of the droopys dogs Afraid the only time will get a decent enter in future will be the derby and the oaks As owners no other option Why ruin a pup running around that track Savva trying with his A7 henlow plodders Looks three decent dogs all in the last |

The bitterness which prevails about Towcester is simply unbelievable.
|
|
By:
Well I just speak the truth and tell it how it is
Dig the track up and start again Base it on Coventry 490 m or Newcastle 500 m trip And normal width for 6 dogs Sorted Continue with current track and I guess people like you LH stick head in the sand and pretend everythinks ok Good news is if the stick your head in the Towcestor sand the dogs will run around you as the tracks so fing wide |

BITTERNESS
 it can be bigged up as much as they Want , IT IS THE TOWCESTER GREYHOUND DERBY or PUPPY DERBY .. Unlike any other Derby's that have been run before , AS the " TOWCESTER DERBY " all concerned do a fantastic Job ..... accepting it for what it is one cannot be bitter .. BUT THEY ARE DERBY'S UNLIKE ANY OTHER I HAVE SEEN BEFORE, ROUND A TRACK THAT SADLY DOES NOT APPEAR TO SUIT A HIGH % OF ENTRANTS ,NO POINT IN MOANING, IT IS WHAT IT IS, AND REFLECTS THE DISGRACEFUL STATE OUR SPORT HAS ENDED UP IN ... Hopefully there are some decent pups entered who may improve ,Time progression over the rounds will be interesting as dogs adapt ,if that happens.. Hope it turns out to be a Decent Event ,for all concerned  |

Think Mid Term Break and Innocent Times both short enough at 6/4 apiece. In the first instance, little bet 3/1 Brinkleys Ranger and in the second, 11/4 Forest Mike may just hold on from Queen Borneo
Russanda Ripley should do the job as long as Nippy Pippy doesn't ruin the race. 7/2 double Ripley with Magical Bale, only real bet Only one other little bet, 11/2 Iceni Queen coz don't fancy Sporting Dave at odds-on |
|
By:
I have to admit considering its 20 grand to the winner and the amount of Irish dogs that ran in the derby
I did think this comp would have got loads of Irish entries |
|
By:
I agree the track is inferior to what we wanted but it is what it is. The rest of it is fantastic. Ask JP Fahy and six time champion trainers. Next you'll all be telling the Jockey Club to take the Derby away from Epsom because it isn't Ascot!
|
|
By:
Oi Oi the only proper bet, the double (two ante-post dogs) at 7/2!
 Said Mid Term and Innocent too short and so it proved Fancied Mike to hold Borneo in the context of the race and that was spot. Fighter lasted home but thought might not quite make it Thought Kev did well |

Still no antepost market for this Cat 1 event. Is there no interest in this or in antepost dog racing in general?
|
|
By:
No idea what youre talking about, Billy
|
|
By:
Talking about no antepost market for this Cat 1 event (Puppy Derby) and no interest in this or in antepost dog racing in general ON THE BETFAIR EXCHANGE.
|
|
By:
I see. There's always Sportsbook and all the tother firms. There's a Leger market exchanges but not properly formed yet
|
|
By:
Wouldn't swop 14/1 Magical Bale but asking a fair bit for tother smaller bet same price Russanda Ripley to both qualify same semi. Fingers crossed
Sporting Dave is the interesting one. Had a very small each-way bet Romford Puppy Cup. Looked decent but nowhere near the Roxholme Nidge standard. However, appears to have improved dramatically since, so the yardstick might be somewhere inbetween, making him terrible short tonight |
|
By:
Bale went to the bend in best style but couldn't hold pitch and only fourth back straight. Kept on to qualify a close up third behind Innocent Times and Headford Kev
|
|
By:
newcastle puppy event different class imo
|
|
By:
Really want Magical Bale antepost but had to have an 11/2 side-bet Wuheida. Semis all very competitive stuff but will take some holding with repeats of her 29.28s. Bitches no stranger to success in Puppy Derbies. Goes in the second semi
In the first semi, 7/2 Roxholme Poppy looks fair. Good final likely but doubt anything exceptional Due to be away next Wednesday anyway |
|
By:
Not a fan of wide runners at Towcester but Poppy may have the gears to come through late
|
|
By:
Oi Oi

Excited about large price Magical Bale in the final. Will be laying off all stakes on the competition for free bet

Not even looked, Honcho
Cancelled my trip Wednesday, so can watch Puppy Derby. Dublin next Saturday still in the balance |

Worse supporting card in Sky's history
 As for the British Bred Derby on Tuesday ,Dear me |
|
By:
Yeah, Towcester card not that hot but think the King dogs and Candlelight just about as good as British breeding gets
|
|
By:
Done the card. Got my eye on a few but no great shakes
Case said worst card in Sky history but some reasonable dogs going to traps. Seen worse myself, anyway |
|
By:
Agree with case I’m going
Can’t find a bet Don’t know many of the dogs truly shocking card Lucky there beer |
|
By:
What makes a card? Quality of dog or betting opportunities?
|
|
By:
Well, you got the National Sprint winner in a good looking two-bender, Kent Derby winner on parade and suggesting keep an eye on Barricane Tommy and Drumkeen Oyster
 Have fun! |
|
By:
Quality for me Honcho. Cant beat a good sense of occasion. If I want betting opportunities, can go Vue Sunday morning
|
|
By:
At the bags. You have to be kidding?!
|
|
By:
That's where many feel they have an edge if they can bet to roughly 100% over-round on here. Personally, I find BAGS dogs inconsistent but the regulars will swear blind they make profit
