GREYHOUND DERBY 2022

Classic case

Another cracker from the krankies

JK in the restaurant Derby Night , The Bins focussed on the Starter

14/1 20/1 12/1...tricast 973 english
ellie goulding anything could happen anything could happen anything could happen ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Gutless koonts on RPGTV, anyway Mr Trainer, how do you explain Jets run tonight? Fooking cowards

The track owner has ordered the taps to go on tonight and stay until next Sunday

Straight out of the Box into Trap 1  ,Lofty with the old sleight of Hand

Not old enough to remember White City but this great sport died in my eyes when Walthamstow closed and Wimbledon "moved" the winning line to the other side. For the first time since I can remember I have no interest in the Derby, tuned in tonight and all its done has confirmed what I sadly knew. Greyhound racing is finished in this country

just watched tonights heats there,what a gaff

Carry on Tow , covers it,The 4th bend like nothing I have seen in dog racing , Dogs just seem to be drawn to the Rail , If you watch Kevins dog  it Switches Middle Just at the right time ,not many capable of doing that .. I complained at first when it left the city for the Don ,fook me I had no clue where it was Going LOL , Your right Ern the Final Step on the road to its demise was the Side switch at the Don , Even so it was still a lot better than this Caper ..

was the draw made tonight for the semis?

No more of this Derby for me.  Can';t blame the track for any of the winners tonight but very few dogs are running the same race twice and just what Balinabola Ed was doing around 3rd and 4th bends can only be guessed at.
Be back in three weeks.

Went to every Derby at Wimbledon from Shanless Slippy onwards and as soon as the final was over I looked forward to next year's one more than anything else! Great dogs like Slippy, Toms The Best, Rapid Ranger,Loyal Honcho and my two all time favourites Some Picture and Westmead Hawk. Sure you got your Allen Gifts and Kinda Ready's in there as well but the buzz has now gone. No atmosphere, duff track, form means nothing and zero media coverage

Tried giving Towcester a chance and I've been to every final there but it's just not fit for purpose. The only dog I've ever seen run there that I could compare to previous winners was Dorotas Wildcat. Would have loved to see him run round Wimbledon with his early he would have blow races apart at the Don

Wildcat give Ed cold imo

Well we all must be bread and dripping on LSD because every numpty on RPGTV seems to think it's the greatest show on Earth.

Hello Hammond was breath-taking off the last corner,and just behind came the ever reliable Faughan Rebel serving up usual late stamina, a quality race on the figures!

"What a rich tapestry of wonderful stories that weave through the final 12 in the Greyhound Derby, simply fabulous, the dream continues."

You've got to laugh really.

Absolutely

Aussie and Ed both seemed to tire quickly off that last bend, ground seemed deeper somewhere out there?

simply fabulous, the dream continues.  

Yes, the Taps on and Lofty studying the Paul Daniels book of Card tricks .

Lets hope the dog is not attacked at the pick up if he doesn't make the final

Who was the Dog she attacked did she not give it a few belts with the Lead ?

Done the science and still non the wiser,all that time ouch!! Bingo racing.

Ten large case

I’m sure her emotions got better of her that night
12 years ago that

Just watching them Wimbledon Derby Heats  with Errol commentating on sky give you goosebumps
Doing what he does best he’s a commentator not an analyst not a tipster


https://youtu.be/6uAmhnGFm3w

I'm a late convert Slippy, Ravage, etc;  Towcester never a Derby venue in a million years.

some proper dogs in it that year riddler jeez

jet, vic, eske, spy, tango...plus the winner as well
oh how its gone

Vintage dogs back than

The semis

To win them I’m going to go ROMEO MAGICO and KILDARE

If I’m trying to find one to win outright from each semi to get through and have a runner in the final at big odds I’d go SAVANA BEAU and COPPICE FOX, both comparatively lightly raced and could improve their best times so far by a couple of lengths

All the best

Has Seamus got anything up his Sleeve with Noisey ,  Beat beau 13 lenghts last year in Eire as a pup

Seems to have lost his way , But only had 14 Races  ,would not be shocxked to see an improved run tonight

Hope so case I’m on 20s 16s
Backed Hutton thing next door too

I can recall say around the Westmead Hawk era this forum would be absolutely buzzing on semi final night.

Now it's tumbleweeds.......

Well I'm backing 3 to place in this first semi-final.

I thought that i would have a look in to see whats happening for the first time in a while and, like the sport, its dead. They have done a hatchet job on dog racing.

I tried to watch some of the derby, but towcester is awful. I cant work out whats wrong with the place but its rubbish racing. That 3rd bend is like the bermuda triangle.

As many have said on here about Towcester, it's an absolutely dreadful track.

If someone had told me, say 2 years ago, that during the 2022 English Derby I would not have any ante post vouchers on the go nor even had a single bet throughout the entire competition then I would have to assume that I had lost my marbles and the men in white coats had finally come for me.

I was only really just waiting for the marathons.

i did go to every derby final not now at tow , its a long drive .its to costly now as well r.i p.tow

I'm much the same as the majority only missed two of the last twewnty at plough lane, i've never been to Towcester but all my mates went couple of years ago and all said never again that was enough for me, still love Hove and try and go once every few weeks.

I like Hove as well, no doubt I'll go a few times this Summer. We have a place in Littlehampton so not too far from there.

1.savanna beau 2.kildare 3.hello hammond 4.romeo magico 5.mickeys barrett 6.priceless jet. i think the draw best suits kildare

on the draw, i agree about kildare. but who can have a bet there, without knowing what that maniac of a man is going to do to the track?

if hello hammond is an 8/1 poke I'm a chinaman

£52 quid waiting to be taken @ 7.8 wonders.

It's not mine b.t.w. !

Sb were there any positives from your Towcester Visit, or was it the whole experience, the buzzing atmosphere just doesn't seem to come across on tv.

I haven't been to the Derby since Wimbledon shut but £30 entrance money seems a bit over the top especially as it's in the arse end of nowhere.
At the prices i'd be backing Jet especially as no rain is forecast.

just happened to see a greyhound race on TV from Newcastle on the horse racing channel.  Betting 113% over round the top 4 in the betting.  The 14/1 outsider beat the 10/1 shot.  No wonder the sport is struggling!

The problem with Towcester track is that basically it’s shaped like a large scale Romford

Mind you the cockerneys love it there too, gawds only knows, why, another bookmakers paradise, unless of course your name is Ray……

I very much doubt that the "cockneys" love it, shropshire.

be glad when derby gone all we get on rpgtv is repeats and they will be showing it all next week

Year  IMO

I've never been to Romford, only once to Catford. It was quite a journey from West London and Catford was much sharper than even Wimbledon or Walthamstow.

I like Tp4: coffin box though; needs to clear 1st bend or be 2nd post; 6 & 2 are dangers. Is it being shown live here or RPGTV?

Yes Impossible, Towcester is on RPGTV tomorrow.
First race 18.04, last is 21.40.
The final itself is @ 21.15.

I've not had a bet all competition but if pressed I'd just favour Kildare to get the run.

I will back the  rag
A great and very profitable bet over the years
My only contribution this year
....and the only race I will have seen
Shame really
Its gone to pot since the bookies took over

This has to be all time low for the Derby and a crying shame after all those wonderful years of top class finals in front of massive crowds . To think that 92,000 people attended the 1939 final and here is some facts telling us just how far the decline of the sport has travelled.





"A general trend of dwindling attendances has had a clear knock-on effect to the number of greyhound tracks still active today.

The stats are alarming. In 1946, for example, which came a matter of months after the end of the Second World War, the total annual attendance for greyhound meetings in the UK topped 70 million, with nearly £200 million wagered per year. In 2017, attendances were down to just two million with just £75 million spent on the various bet types available.

Arguably most troubling is that there are just 21 licensed tracks in England and Scotland – down from 77 licensed premises and 200 independent tracks in the 1940s, with Harlow and Crayford the only tracks within spitting distance of the sport’s spiritual home in London. Seventy years ago, there were 33 independent dog tracks in the capital alone, but the demise of Wimbledon and Walthamstow has been indicative of the issues that organisers face".

If Beau wins Irish  Its time to pack the Game up Mate , Not far off it as it is ,But that would some the Game up ..

, But I cant knock the System  and Round there anything CAN happen in the Next 30 seconds

Just £259 matched on here so far for the Derby!

Such a shame what’s happened but at least us old boys have some great memories, I know stuffing one has been going on for yonks but when you see one where a dog been running out of its skin then lead tonight and fall in hole before half way you just have to knock it one the head and I never indulge in the race, gonna go against all my beliefs tomorrow night and punt Callmesteve and 3 in final 2 and 3 places and will not bet there again

Dept there was a bit of Holding Dogs back  , There was a few Blatant crooked runs  , But nothing as to what is going on these days

BF is a licence to print for Some ...  The games gone mate  . Long gone  ,Between Nailed and lame dogs Running its hard to Fathom

What is Going on .

That's a new Market Sparrow Not been up Long , think Was 38 k Matched on the AP Market here , Unreal, be far more matched on the race

tonight ,It sums up what has happened to the Derby ,Little or no interest on here ..

re: the Derby I hope Beau wins for Irish How that will come about Would need Einstine Involved

G luck to all Finalists , safe and Sound .

Anyone lay me a Thousand the Traps don't Open ?

Yes I forgot about the ante-post market case so perhaps a more lively market available tonight.  Mind you I'm not one to bet 24 hours before the off and more like 24 minutes will be soon enough for me. I wonder if all those who used to post on here and attended the final will be there tonight?

Have the 'rag ' at 110 in tiny ew , which will do me . Have still enjoyed the competition despite the track problems and getting one out of half a dozen through is always the  aim . Yes I also preferred White City and the Don .
