Thinking of having a decent lump on Headleys Bridge E/W... Tried to get on before the last round but they had just suspended, an hour before heats started ffs! 12/1 still available at totesport tho... What do we think? Title: Re: Irish Greyhound Derby Post by: Micko on August 25, 2008, 07:06:21 PM Turning into a fantastic derby very wide open imo and Headleys Bridge has certainly a good ew chance.
Im on Mid West Blue at 18's although i dont think he will count now just will not get away with his lack of early against the better dogs also on Slip The Lark at 29's he cant be ruled out superb early and took a heavy bump on sat nite but ran on well to qualify. College Causeway is running outta his skin flies home and is an unreal genuine greyhound he is my fancy now. Buckley has a real strong kennel this year id say he'll be very dissapointted if he doset win the Derby Title: Re: Irish Greyhound Derby Post by: Rookie (Rodney) on August 25, 2008, 07:09:38 PM I backed Slip the Lark too..
Done well to qualify last week. Headleys Bridge FTW tho pls......... Getting 3/1 on a top 4 finish tho seems too good to me! Title: Re: Irish Greyhound Derby Post by: bolt pp on August 28, 2008, 08:31:24 PM college causeway looked awsome, bit skinny at 4/1 though for a dog that has to do it the hard way
Title: Re: Irish Greyhound Derby Post by: turny on September 03, 2008, 04:13:59 AM well done you guys if your on slip the lark @ big prices.
studied all the heats and the quarters and if away on terms this dog will take a lot of beating imo his pace up and first 2 bend speed is phenomenal and i cant see causeway giving him a start and a beating 7.8 still available on betfair and if he wins his semi saturday night can see him a lot shorter for the final just hope wise thoughts stays straight out the traps ! Title: Re: Irish Greyhound Derby Post by: bolt pp on September 03, 2008, 10:33:12 AM I think causeway is different gear and if gets a trouble free will be so difficult to beat though he seems to lack a little bit of pace early and i think he could be booked for trouble.

Title: Re: Irish Greyhound Derby Post by: Rookie (Rodney) on September 07, 2008, 10:36:39 AM AYYYYYAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR
GREAT NIGHT LAST NIGHT, GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO HEADLEYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Title: Re: Irish Greyhound Derby Post by: turny on September 07, 2008, 05:52:30 PM still fancy lark but headleys has a favourites chance now.
a weeks rest will do em all good and it should be a cracking final Title: Re: Irish Greyhound Derby Post by: Bigfella on September 09, 2008, 10:29:49 PM Yep it's a tough one to call. Good luck with Headleys rooks.
I think Advantage Johnny is overpriced and Slip The Lark has a great draw with the slow starter outside him. I think it's live on sky Saturday.... need to load up Betfair in anticipation! Title: Re: Irish Greyhound Derby Post by: turny on September 09, 2008, 10:40:20 PM the more i look at the form the more slip the lark looks a good thing
Title: Re: Irish Greyhound Derby Post by: Karabiner on September 13, 2008, 09:49:42 PM How much worse could the Sky coverage of the final have been ?
They missed the first half of the parade and then the race commentator called the wrong "winner" ??? Title: Re: Irish Greyhound Derby Post by: Rookie (Rodney) on September 13, 2008, 10:05:10 PM Yeah thats tilted me so hard.
I have Headleys top four for £200, lost by a head. Headleys to win for alot more. Slip the lark to win for £220, lose by SH. I run so fkin bad. |
