This week sees the start of the Ladbrokes.Com Derby at Shelbourne Park, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday evening, where 144 of the country’s best greyhounds will take their chance and the most coveted prize in the greyhound world.
You will be able to watch first round heats from Shelbourne Park racing from Kilkenny on Wednesday evening and betting facilities into the tote pool will also be available.
Among Wednesday nights runners will be Barefoot Machine, a participant in this year’s Red Mills unraced at Kilkenny, where among his opponents is one of the 2010 Red Mills class, Tyrur Quinn. Ledger Winner What a Tornado and Champion Stakes winner Uncle Eoin also go to traps on Wednesday night.
There’s also a "hot looking" N1 Stake starting at Kilkenny, and a quick glance at the runners and their breeding would indicate that there could possibly be a couple of 2012 Derby dogs making their debut, so get yourself along for a great nights racing!
