Accordello too good for College Causeway on Saturday night in HQ.
English Derby down to the fianl 6 and the Irish, who in my opinion, held back out best, not featuring, even though they were all whelped down on these shores.
SS**, do you have Wise though in your AP book, I hadnāt even a semi-finalist.
No Iām disillusioned with the English Derby after Aston was knocked out in the heat of death. I didnāt have a semi finalist either, with Windy Miller KOād aswell. They were my last too. I think only a heat like the one Aston drew would have kept him out of the final, the first three home from that heat are all in the final. Iāve lost interest in it now.
Iād probably side with Ruso hoping he keeps blazing out but looks wide open and if he doesnāt come away from Reason itāll be tight in there. Zafonic probably different dog in red. Wise Thought solo out wide? Probably no bet for me. I hope Patsy gets beat really.
Greyhound derby will be on shortly. Iāve backed Wise Thought to win tonight out of trap 6 at 5/2. Hopefully there will be trouble inside and he can scoop up along the outer. Itās a very competitive field though in fairness.
Iāve also put a small wager on Glenard Sunrise in trap 4 at 10/1 as a saver bet hopefully. I think heās over-pried.
Kinda Ready wins at 25/1!!!
Kinda shockedā¦ After the way Kinda Ready broke and caused havoc inside him I thought it was going to be Wise Thought all the way. Canāt belive Kinda Ready picked up Zafonicā¦
Thatās the most incredible part about it, how he picked up Fear Zafonic, who got practically a solo really. Amazing turn of events.
I actually found a ā¬15 docket for Farloe Reason @ 66/1 a few days before the race but it was a beaten docket when he didnāt lead. Must have done ā¬300 in ante post flights of fancy. Still though, I love that competition.
I actually know a guy who had a nice touch on Kinda Ready both ante-post and on the night. I laughed at him when he told me Kinda Ready would win it out. Whoās laughing now. 
Yer man is Iād assumeā¦
:D:barcasmile:
Getting sick and tired of that cunt bringing greyhound racing into disrepute with his positive drug tests. How many is that now? And in the biggest event of all. FFS please god the GBGB will warn him off and itāll be reciprocated over here. Itās a fcuking joke at this stage.
Whatās this now?
Shelbourne Aston tested positive for steroids in the Derby first round.
Thatās an Irish Cup and English Greyhound Derby heās copped now, maybe heāll go for the hat trick in the Irish Derby next.

Iām guessing this isnāt anything new from his trainer? Canāt they just ban the fook? I know of a trainer near me who was banned from ever training dogs again as he was up to that kinda messing.
He took em to the high court when the Irish Coursing Club tried to disqualify Vinny Jonesā dog Boavista which he trained. Itās still ongoing. The man missed his calling in life, he should be running Boots Chemists.

Last years Derby win left a sour taste in my mouth after what i heard in the run up to it.
This shit fooking sickens me.
He might think heās being smart but how much has he just knocked off the value of Shelbourne Astonās stud career. Alot if you ask me. His whole racing career since he joined his current trainer is now under a dark cloud.
Would this sort of thing be common enough in Irish Greyhound Racing or even across the water?
Rife but strangely they seem to be caught alot more when they go to England. Dogs fail the test over here but hasnāt been a high profile dog for a while now.
