IRISH DERBY

plan dog Clipped the rail thats what sent him across the Track

De dah and Silent two runs of the Night for me

Yeah - Silent did well.  Coosane came from County Down to qualify.  Times not great but running is.

Agree loyal

pat run a real head scratcher

The more I look at this comp. the more I like the chances of Proper Heiress.  Stays rails and there are so many middles left in.  Can go all the way and hope to bag Tp 1 in the final.  Ballymac Stud has an Achilles heel in his trapping but his pace from line to the first bend is massive and he races the bends so well.  Still improving, I like him too.  And I still have Cheap Sandwiches from my original three.  Even saying all of this I would still love to see Lahdedah win it. A great greyhound.
Hope there are no mishaps or injuries tomorrow.  We’ve had enough !
G/L all.

worry with Heiress tomorrow , the Curly dog in 2 exploded out of the Boxes last week could chop into bemd

NR Trap 6  Heat 2

I can’t remember a Derby with so many non-runners.

Splendid day in prospect tomorrow, starting 1230 with the big game

You Going Dept ? Birchy will be in the Home End

Wonder if he still has the Coat ?

Aint got ticket, settee all day

fook me you could see him 2 mile away in the Coat g luck mate

Two difficult ties for your Millwall coming up Deptford.

Away to Charlton lunchtime today and away to Palace in the Carabou Cup 3rd round on Tuesday evening. You could get a win today, and hope you do as I have Millwall mates as well as you but I'd be very surprised if you turn us over @ S.P.

I'm not going on Tuesday unfortunately, as I share my two seats with my younger brother and it's his turn. It's on Sky anyway so that's fine.

Quarter Finals Selections:-

LENNIES DREAM

SHANAHEE BOOMER

PROPER HEIRESS

COOSANE PICKLES

All the best

Lucky today, sending off change game

Magical Major ran quite a race in the 7.48.

Cheap sandwiches sweet as you like.

This is a hot race.  Oodles of early on show.  Come on the pup in 3.

They don’t look too particular about how they put the traps down, do they?

Ballymac Stud might not win this Derby but he could do well next year.  Green as grass but very pacy.

Where can you watch this

S.I.S.

De Lahdedah time.

You’re welcome Ben.

B####r.

Ah, that's a shame. Clobbered at the bend.

Is there a false patch on the third bend?  The one either had a look or was momentarily unbalanced.

Yes L.H, could well be. It looked a bit awkward.

sad End for  the Dah

end of derby I mean ,that Glengar dog has got some Boot

You get Bad Draws and then you get Proper Bad draws , WTF ?

I had just assumed that conns. had him seeded rails.  Am I wrong? Needs to fall out like Rnd2 and then get a break.  Sandwiches?  If they all go down together the concertina effect might catch him out.  Hope not.  The way he runs that second bend is special.  Would love to see both fight out the final.

I get it.  They’re all seeded rails even though they mostly run middle.  The object being not to draw t5.  Then a true railer in the race gets t5!

Need a lot of luck or a ping to clear from there

If it gets through tonight and draws either 1 or 2 in the final I think PROPER HEIRESS wins the Derby

Looking at tonight’s two semis though I like the make up for two at a decent price

BALLYMAC STUD

DROOPYS DEPLOY


All the best

I like the dog a lot but this draw is desperate.   Cheap Sandwiches is a class act.  Still the one to beat for me.

Lot of Dogs just Going lame no contact round there  ,Malays info not wide of the mark

That was a joy to watch.

Draws win races..

took off proper no hope from that Draw

what was 2nd and 3rd Couldnt see them

It was Slippy.

Good win.  Worst possible result for Sandwiches.  Two wides to deal with and the possibility of T4.

Heiress through, Ollie was DQ'd

WOW , that is Some reult for them

Wallis want to get on the Lottery

2 Have a go at 1 , Its hard to make out in replay

2 on cheap  4 bar have they done the draw

magical mag run her race she just wasn't good enough, money done deal with it.

Think this Disco Rule is Crackers

Bejaysus!  Shades of Camira Flash.  And Heiress bags the plum draw.  It is horrible!

Not a word ( that I can see ) on Talking Dogs about it. Poor, poor journalism for me.
Why hide from it?  If rules have been followed properly why not explain it to us all, openly?
Where did the said interference take place?  Was it passing the line at race end?  The I.G.B. Video is very average and it is difficult to see.

Watched hi lights first rd
Few races second rd that was enough
Totally lost interest

Heiress name on cup
Been knocked out twice lol

Just watch it on talking dogs
That semi

Is There reason why camera work so poor
Your think watching Westham back bowl
1000yds away ffs

Defo having some word in ear
How bad it is **** nose from that
Reply

it was shocking on the 1st night gave up with it at that point

been a lot of complaints re the track seems the sh1tshow over here has caught on in ire

Dog beaten half the track gets a plot draw in Final ,Crazy

Lets hope all dogs Safe and fully tested post Final ,

Slightly clearer video on Greyhound Recorder website, unfortunately the dog clearly had a couple of goes a few yards from the line, stewards had no choice really.

Thanks Lester.  I agree about the DQ “no choice” but the Heiress advancement is a joke.

i am betting magical mag, not because i done my cash on her last week,last week is irrelevant but i think the pacy dogs may get into trouble and i will take my chance at the price, but i think she will lead and open up

Why is it a joke? Rules were known before the event started were they not? Lucky heiress is through or else we would be looking at 4's on fav for the race

The RULE is a Joke , if the dog impeded Heiress Fair Enough

Say the first 3 home all started Fighting , Couldnt happen ,  but then we would have 4th 5th and 6th in Final is that how it Works ?

As stated hope all Dogs safe and Sound  after the Final , and all fully tested

You’re right.  It’s no joke.  It’s real.  Heiress didn’t qualify ( like Camira Flash ).  Hope it sleeps like Luka.  And, as nanny so properly says, that they all come off sound.

In fact, if it crosses the line first I sincerely hope that the SPk crowd have already started booing.

Boo! That made me remember many moons ago, Me and some mates owned Baston Bronze at Catford, won A2 by 10, done 3482, booing started from 3rd bend, was louder than our big mouth cheering, was so funny, we went in The Copperfield pub and drunk Champagne, we had it right off

Fairly extreme for a greyhound race? One would presume you have either laid Heiress or backed another finalist. The rule might not be correct, but it has not suddenly been made up, was known before the event started so not sure why such a reaction to it?

What has been a "joke" though is certain irish handlers taking hours to load a dog into the traps. Either incompetent or cheating...

think most people agree it should be a 5 dog final or the original 6 w/o the DQ

Ah ok, so just make the rules up as they go along type of thing? Nothing amateurish about that at all...

You, of course, are entitled to think ( and presume ) whatever you want.  .
FYI, and everybody else’s I have no betting interest in the Final and have had one bet during the competition.
So try again Sherlock.
Been there too Deptford.  The miscreant was De Mulder the son and the barrage of booing saw him bottle it and decline to attend the trophy presentation.
Finally, I repeat that if Heiress wins the final I hope they boo the place down.

lets concentrate on race lads, keep politics crazy stuff to politics bonkers thread which betfair should close down

any fancies lads ? apart from obvious, i'm sticking with 2 in final, perhaps in forecasts, trios I know we miss PF and private hire posts, anybody else have a go at reviewing card and putting up their thoughts, no pressure it's only an opinion.

Can never read top flight Irish racing.  I do hope Sandwiches wins the Derby though.  Happy that Glengar starts on his inside but he’ll need to be at his very best imo.

the whole event has had an amateurish feel to it

Your Drawn the right side of 3 Malay, dog has been a wrecking crew , Moves off at bend 4 will be lucky to avoid her  , If 5 were to miss race is wide open  ,I hope it doesnt lovely dog Deserves to Win

Only really been watching the Heats . Might play Curly to pop out in  Consolation , race after derby is a Cracker , Pat V De Dah ,Pickles looks the Pick in last but priced accordingly ,Rest of the Card not

a Clue tbh

thanks for input nanny, well appreciated, we will see what happens, getting ready to go now, GL to everybody who plays.

G Luck Malay have a great night

Same here.

Great run by Major.  Sets us up nicely for the final.

5 a good winner

Delighted.  Deserving winner.

yes

Fine run 3 ran Very well also

A good winner, lovely dog.

Yep the chemist did a lovely job

Bottom dam line goes all the way back to the Ballinderrys and Skipping Chick and blue blood coursing greats.  I love to see that.
Now for De Lahdedah.  A win from him would be terrific too.

Anybody listening in to Fortune on SIS?  He doesn’t know his mike is on. 

This Ben in 4 is dodgy.

Didn’t want to go on.

enjoyable night  never made any money, the soup was brilliant in restaurant, she bet a few winners on tote at the home meeting but a bit depressing to see only 2 books, one just betting without in Dublin

one thing I will say the service and facilities were outstanding we had an auld lad in a wheelchair with us, and we couldn't have been better looked after so I skip my hat to IGB on that, there is definitely a product there for decent night out

Is Tadgh Hegarty not running a book there  Malay ?

Wouldn't know mate, the betting without guy was Rooney who was big bookie in Dundalk, I doubt Hegarty would be controlling him, but I don't know.

Nanny I sold my house In Dublin 5 years ago and moved to Donegal, regarding Betting market in Lifford last night you could easy get a monkey on at 6/4 in a Dublin race, whether you could get 2 grand at 4s, I don't know it's not what I was there to do.
listen anybody who wanted a bet got accommodated as far as I could see, I certainly did unfortunately, but we live to have fight another day, I have had plenty good Irish Derbys this one was not to be, I can deal with it.
God spare us we go again next year.

if the other lad was working for hegarty i just cant see that is a worthwhile business for either party, obviously it was busy last night were more money was taken, probably lost, don't know enough about it, tote is good.

You probably get tons of messages from recruiters, so I’ll be upfront.

Yes, I’d love to support you on your .NET role if it makes sense.

But I also know that most of the time the timing isn’t right, and that’s completely fine.

I simply want to be on your radar for when you do need someone.

For context, I’ve spent the last few years placing .NET engineers across the UK and wider EU markets for startups, scale-ups, and enterprise teams. So, I know the landscape well.

In the meantime, if anything would help:

• Salary insights across EU markets
• Quick market data
• A short, relevant shortlist
• Or even just understanding my track record

Just let me know. Happy to help without any pressure, no attachments, and no sales dance.

Many thanks

Sorry ignore that

The Epsom Derby winner Christmas Day and the vanquished fav deemed non-runner Benvenuto Cellini are both 3/1f for this. I think probably only one will run ie Ben, assuming Ben is sound. I think Coolmore will want Ben to run and win this race solely for the immense commercial value attached to the winner; 3/1 could be a good redemption price if the ground is not bottomless again.
