Interesting developmemts in the Cock Of The North

Roman Jupiter and Plough Lane dead heaterd for 2nd.

Rule is both trainers are asked if they still want their dog to progress to the Final.

If yes they usually run off to see who gets there (would have to be Saturday night I guess)

But with the close proximity of the final (next Tuesday) they might decide to do it on the toss of a coin.

It was decided on the toss of a coin and Plough Lane is out.

The only compensation is that if any runner witdraws Plough Lane goes in as a reserve.

Still both were miles back so doubt he would have won in the final anyway.

Ladbrokes Summer Classic starts tomorrow at Monmore

Fav (Corrig Vieri) looks hot but his namesake Buffalo Vieri looks decent value at 25/1 and can hopefully have a decent shot at making it through to the final and then seeing what sort of field makes it that far.

Bags then?

Oh yes and get this he's a Monmore dog which I'm sure will go down well with you

I know the name, he'll fly round Monmore

Got his favourite Tr 1 in his heat so fingers crossed

Just seen the undercard for Sky's meeting at Belle Vue tomorrow and there are some top quality dogs running. Champion Hurdle winner Platinumlancelot, Kryptonite and Tyrur Todge for Charlie Lister, Top Bitch Plan, Barnfield Brooke who has beaten Flying Winner twice recently.

Might not be great betting races as I'm sure all of the dogs mentioned will be shortisj prices but for quality animals through the card it will be good.

Won his heat at 6/4


All the top 7 or 8 in the betting safely through and only 1 shock in the 6 heats.

Winning Times In The Stayers At Monmore


Centaur Cappo 38.45

Corrig Vieri 37.55

Droopys Carvalho 37.59

Noelles Rapido 38.26

Barnfield Loreto 37.74

Buffalo Vieri 37.49


GAME ON!!!!!

Guessing the draw will be at the GRA tomorrow so fingers crossed he avoids Corrig and Droopys Caevalho

Just noticed the running comment for Buffalo Vieri....

"quickly away, crowded third and fourth"


If that time is correct it is very interesting as Droopys Carvalho and Corrig Vieri both shot clear at the start and never went near another dog.

Can not wait for the report in the post tomorrow.

He got Tr 1 in his Semi but also got Droopys Carvallho

Apart from that not too bad

15.48 Monmore (Mon 15th June)

Semi Final 1

Tr 1 Buffalo Vieri
Tr 2 Centaur Cappo
Tr 3 Razzmatazz
Tr 4 Droopys Carvalho

6,1 Reverse coming on then Laughing

Leighton, can you stick these in Derby thread so i dont have to wade thru the footie rubbish Laughing

Farloe Lee was very unlucky not to pick up Droopys Bogart and was well clear of him at the pick up (beaten a nose after coming from 4 or 5 lengths back...shame it was not the Beele Vue judge or i would have collected!!!!).

Today Bogart has the best of the draw but with Lee improving race on race and being drawn outside him it is game on.

Eye on the Storm was very impressive too and will make them both work but hopefully Westead Bolt will pressure him and take advantage of his first ideal draw in the competition.

For once it is an ideal spread of greyhounds (3 railers, 1 middle, 2 wides) and there was very little bother in any of the races today so it should be a classic.

The Guru had a great time again mixing with celebrities....well Gary Newbon anyway

3 Open Competitions Start at Monmore Tomorrow plus the semi's of the Summer Classic.....GO ON BUFFALO VIERI

Not got a firm opinion on the dogs or bitches 480 competitions yet but like the look of Micks Ginger in the 416 (7/1 with Hills best price but some firms yet to price up).

Twelve Opens on a BAGS card....heaven

Just bad planning I can't get over for it or for the Finals on Friday DOH!!!!!

Translated cos its the bags


12 lotteries on a bags card

No I think there are a few certs (though would love to see Corrig Veiri knocked out).

Got through but got suffed by Droopys Carvalho (3 and 3/4 lengths) and as Corrig Vieri went out think they will finish 1-2 in the final alas with Buffalo Vieri a gallant second.

Micks Ginger out

From Trap 4 2nd might be a faint hope

Could well get battered and come nowhere

Stayers Classic: 1 Dazzle Special 2 Hill Tipoki 3 Droopys Zach 4 Buffalo Vieri 5 Swift Messenger 6 Droopys Carvalho.

You liking anything at Hall Green tonight?

Bit late seeing your message but hoping Farloe Lee comes good in the final.


In the 9.25 think Hidden Sky (Tr 3) at 7/1 with Ladbrokes is value.

Very good value indeed, got up on the line

9/2 finished

Having a stormer so far, 5 out of 7 in

Like Farloe, but im swaying to Droopy's, think it will beat farloe to the 1st bend, if it does then farloe wont chase it down

5+6 rev fore and 5,6,2 combi tri for me with a touch on the 5 dog

Still got a 33/1 betting slip on Tr 1 in the final too so that might come good if there is bother.

Get in Droopy's, caned it, shame 2 took 6 out but nice one on Droopy's
