THE news greyhound racing was hoping not to hear was announced yesterday when Arena Racing Company (Arc) and Nottingham confirmed the postponement of this year's Star Sports, Arc & LPS Derby.

Following on the heels of an announcement that all racing at Arc venues, both horse and greyhound, will take place behind closed doors from Tuesday, March 17 until the end of the month, the decision has been taken to postpone the Classic until later in the year.

The competition had been due to start on Friday, April 10, and no decision has been taken as to a suitable alternative date as to when the competition may be held.

Arc greyhound operations director Rachel Corden said: "We have taken the decision to postpone the 2020 Greyhound Derby in line with the closure of all of our sites to the public for a period of time.

"At this time our main priority is to maintain the health and safety of our employees and those that care for the greyhounds attending our sites to race behind closed doors."

"Our sponsors are fully supportive of the decision and we would like to thank all of our colleagues in the greyhound racing industry, along with our sponsors Star Sports and LPS for their ongoing support."

Looking at some of the entries in these trial stakes , I think some connections might be on ACID tbh

Most of the runners are in there because its an open race  not because the trainer thinks they are Derby dogs.

Case

Can understand locals Making up the Numbers , On the some of the dogs I think a few people need to give their head a wobble

Still I supoose we had Salad dodger

grand national cancelled and Crayford...Romford...Monmore and Hove all behind closed doors for bags......

Sorry to ask the obvious but are anti post pets voided on the Derby automatically or do you have to ask for it to be voided,or do they stand as layed untill  the eventual result is known?

each will have their own rules but pat from 365 said last night the cash out option is available or you can call and cancel......however while it is postponed and not cancelled all bets remain live so if you want out you need to talk to your bookmaker..........

Cashed out the 365 bets Ice for profit

Hope get Bocko money back
