watched the Wildcat race several times now and he lost several little bits of time just been drawn badly inside a proper pacey type at most of the bends. I still think the Wildcat should be the jolly old fav tbh. Still think the cat could challenge the new TR tbh with a better draw. To be drawn outside of one of the top 5 in the betting in the first round is very unlucky but he got through safe and sound from a potentially tricky situation.
I am very biased towards the cat as he has made me a shit load of money over the past two years so maybe i am being blinded but when you consider his two trial times prre derby over C&D and his first round performance he is still the daddy for me until he is beaten. Very lightly raced 4 year old who Hutton treats like a king and has taken zero risks with him. Albeit he has cost odds on punters large recently. I will never forget the Derby plate win the year he should have won the derby but didn't. Then last year at Towcester when he gagged up. Twice i stood on the Towcester terraces enjoying 25 seconds of sheer bliss oioioioioi'ing before collecting from Ben Keith and Lofty afterwards. I don't think you will back many dogs at 11/8 at the semi final stage in a top class event like the Derby Plate when they should have been big odds on. The first Towcester derby seems a lifetime ago hard to believe its only 2 years ago.
People forget the cat could easily be going for a unique three peat in the Derby this year had he been slightly more fortunate in the 2017 derby. The way he shit up in the Derby plate in 2017 suggested to me like he was the best dog in the field in 2017. The perils of being a railer nowadays compared to a wide.

I don't think you're being blinded, trial times showed he should be the one smashing the clock and lost little in defeat. So many EP railers in the field that the 1st round Wildcat issue could happen to any of them. As it happens, I don't mind that T4 second round draw. 365 up with Friday prices. |

Making my debut apperance at Nottingham Dogs tonight with a few other blondes for a piss up and some food. It is absolutely pissing down in Nottingham at the minute so it will be interesting to see how the dogs cope with the conditions.

What a shit track to have the Derby at viewing wise and facility wise. The betting 'ring' is inside in a space the size of a broom cupboard. No idea what it is going to be like on Derby night when its packed. Bring back the lovely Towcester and their facilities all is forgiven. Even Wimbledon viewing wise and betting ring wise was much better than this experience.
No terraces to stand on outside and you are actually below track level when you stand outside to view.

That's disappointing to hear. Hope you found a few winners at least. |

I'm not sure it will be packed. I reckon they've priced it wrong and I fear the locals will be reluctant to part with £25 for general admission. |

Errol is still saying Dorot-os as he has done for as long as I remember.
Is Dorotas really that much of a tongue-twister?

Something amiss with Wildcat - looked to me like he lost his action on the back straight.

The sponsors have Bale at 7/4, if he is drawn on the inside of Prince (Monday is the draw) surely he will be much shorter. Already evens and 5/4 with a few.
Nice to Have Expert in the final.
