well it's the first round so not all the dogs have had a spin round the track.

The second fav (Windy Miller) trialed 0.11 of a second quicker but he is fully race fit so there is a little improvement in mine I should hope.

The favourite (Ballymac Ruso) has done 29.48 (about 0.3 of a second faster) in a proper race so basically thats why the 2 are 3/1 and 5/1 and my selection is 50/1 but favourites do not always even make the final and a few quid at 50/1 will not break the bank and makes for exciting watching if he does get to the last 6 live on Sky.

Would not bother with e/w as it only takes a bump at any stage and it is game over (equally true for those at the top of the market too) but I've not got a bad record of getting dogs into finals (saying that apart from the Derby I usually find the one who once he gets there gets clattered).

I am on Blood Of Kings at 20/1 ante post in the Sunderland Classic final tonight and he will go off about 2/1 which makes for an exciting evening and fingers crossed he scoots in.

Cheers mate im on it.

Do they have the final tonight?

No the Sunderland Classic Final is tonight on Sky.

The Sussex Cup starts tonight with 36 dogs...6 heats first 3 go through.

Semi's next thursday 3 races 2 through from each

Final on Sky a week on Tuesday.

A lot of the best dogs are middle seeds Tonduff Turmoil included so it could turn into a bit of a lottery come the semi final which is why plumping for a big outsider might not be a bad thing.

They set it up so everyone could get good odds on Evening Sunset...is he related to Abbey Express or is it just horses tipped on here get stage fright.

It's the pressure of being tipped up on rlfans mate, they can't hack it

Lucky Kinda Ready did not feel that pressure or perhaps greyhounds are more resiliant and do not give a toss what is said on here

Just put a small punt on Tiger at 6.6 (11/2?) to win the Open - was not much better than evens before the tournament started. If he doesn't close the gap tomorrow - I'd expect it to get bigger and I would go for another punt E/W. He's sure to make a charge.

How about now mate?...

Denmark Team:

Bjerre K
Andersen H
Iversen NK
Klindt N
Hougaard P

Outright:


Scr. Australia 5/2

+9.5pts Sweden 5/2

+18.5pts Denmark 5/2

+25.5pts Great Britain 5/2

Top Race Off Rider:

Crump J 5/4 Lindgren F 9/1
Adams L 3/1 Lindback A 14/1
Bjerre K 7/1 Shields A 20/1
Andersen H 9/1 Holder C 20/1
Jonsson A 9/1

Massive shift in the handicaps there



I think Australia will do well to clear those figures so I'd leave them out (in all probability all the other teams will be able to play a joker at some stage for double points).

I said about 28 GB would be interesting but that would be with Sweden getting perhaps 4 or 5 and Denmark perhaps 12.

Putting me on the spot I think the Danes have been written off too easily and hope for some Russian like heroics from their lesser riders to back up the hopefully inspired Bjerre, Anderson and Iversen. If they can get say 5 or 6 wins from their 15 rides (plus consistant 2nds and 3rds) they should be there or there abouts on the handicap.


Keep stakes low just for interest as it real is a lottery on the handicaps.

A quid or two on Danny King being top GB scorer at 8/1 might be a decent shout if the team struggle and he is in the inspired form he was in on Monday. Remember double points do not count for that bet so he will not be at a disadvantage if the choose to pick Harris or Richardson to ride when they play the joker.

Crump is 5/4 to be top meeting point scorer but its too short as one exclusion or crash and someone will beat him so although it paid off on Monday (just) I would avoid it tonight especially if they coast through and he does not need to go flat out in later races,. though I do not think he will be as unprofessional as the Pole who did not bother to go in the last heat when the meeting was won.

In the heat betting Bjerre to win Heat 25 at 3/1 appeals big time (to beat Adams, Daviddson and Harris).

Read it wrong and should have gone with my first instinct and backed Britain.

Never mind its great stuff and hopefully they can hold on to second place and make the final.

Three days of tornados, hurricanes, famine, swams of locusts etc so that Jiminez gets awarded the Claret Jug without playing another shot please

Hull KR +12 looks generous. I can't see Leeds winning by three clear scores tonight.

Wigan +4 also tempting. The Goons have found a bit of form lately and I'd expect them to win that outright.

Indeed, They both look good shouts...

Yeah alot of pride shown by the GB Riders and a fantatsic effort to compete with Sweden up until the end just a shame they couldn't hold on...

Bradford vs Wigan -6 @ 2/1

Have you just made that up

[url=http://www.oddschecker.com/rugby-league/super-league/bradford-v-wigan/alternative-handicap-4Nope[/url.

Got £5 on a treble for tonight

Hull FC -10 4/5 v Celtic

Leeds v Hull KR +12 10/11

St Helens - 20 11/10 v Wakefield

How much will that return?

I doubt those first 2 will come in.

About £30 i think, would of been a hell of a lot more if the odds was 11/1 for the Saints game

Loved all 3 meetings so far it will be great if Australia and perhaps Russia can hold their own against Poland and all be in with a chance going into the last few races tomorrow.

Wigan are evens off scratch at Bradford - good value I think despite their injuries.

Hopefully i'll catch a Replay as i'll be out and i've just seen SkyBet have refunded me on Kenneth Bjerre in Heat 25, Good Times!...

Nick Dougherty at 100/1 looks big as those one shot ahead of him like Cabrera, Kaymer, Villegas etc are all around 25/1

He's done nothing in the first two rounds but play safe consistant golf, if he can click in the next two rounds his second title in a month is a realistic aim.
