@napier33027 @plgbm Ralf is the one I'd pick out as well.
All the others we saw what they're capable of in Ireland.
Ralf seems to be the one who has the most scope to improve and he's getting quicker every week.

@plgbm @CSDogTalk Tbh I didn’t know anything about him but I did think he not there for no reason that a flying run round shelbourne Ralf. Looks if he take a bit beating but it there been few shock s. That for sure Bally Mac kennel looks. Strong mate.

The track must be +40 tonight.
There's absolutely no way Epic Ace has missed the kick and equalled the clock.
English
The fact Burns is 41 and has played in over 1,000 consecutive games since 2013 still blows my mind.
English
@barkingmadryan @StarSports_Bet Berries will be diving rails. Kranky Drake will probably pick up the pieces.

My NAP for Saturday's live stream at the @StarSports_Bet English Derby! Agree?

@guypearce05 @napier33027 I'm by no means calling the dog slow.
As PL mentioned midweek, I had sort of pigeonholed him as a front running dog.
He's clearly got gears and I'm sure in a few weeks time I'll look like an idiot haha.
English
@CSDogTalk @napier33027 Also if u know the dog u would know his trapping tendencies. Tends to get in bother round the first couple of bends against a field that’s fast to the bend
English
@plgbm @napier33027 Completely fair.
I think I've upset a lot of people, but I wasn't calling the dog slow haha.
And you're right, maybe I'm stubborn with my opinions.
If he flies again next round maybe I'll come round and admit I was wrong 😂
English
Fair comment but Epic Ace hasn’t raced much this year, but showed flashes of brilliance last year. I added him to my bets after the first round performance, but as the derby takes shape, you must be able to adjust your opinions as the greyhounds adapt to Towcester. It’s not Shelbourne!
English
Getup The Boy NAP for me tonight.
Bet him at 80/1 antepost; one of the Irish dogs that never really got a mention.
I think he'll lead up tonight and Duffle won't pick him up.
English
@plgbm @napier33027 Don't worry, PL.
I've watched it already! 😂
I meant more before it all kicked off, really.
It was all Setanta & Liam's dogs who trialled and flew round that Saturday.

@napier33027 Sort of goes to my point.
People are slating me telling me how fast Epic Ace is; but I didn't hear anybody mention him or bet him antepost.
English
@CSDogTalk What going on here are the home trained dogs not supposed to win this what wrong the Irish getting a bit off shake up. There also two other dogs. Uk. Trained. Winning well. Ability and gold And there an Irish dog also. Winning very easy. It went under the radar Kennedy dog
English
@plgbm Brutal, PL. I spoke with Ian briefly at the preview night about Droopys Faithful as I'm a big fan. She was showing Tank the way home and she doesn't stay a yard; that's why I had my reservations at odds on.
English
@CSDogTalk Chalk and cheese run from Tank - very square on the bends tonight. Bet him
at 6/4 and 2/3rds covered winner 9/2 near off. Tank was also in a treble with ace and stud 🫤
English
@guypearce05 If he wins or makes the final I'll eat my hat but as it stands, I don't buy it at all!
Run tonight or whatever.
2/2
English
@CSDogTalk So your telling me proper hieress would have only done 29.80 after leading? Give it a rest. Epic ace beat Bockos diamond last year fair and square and pulled away from him. The dog isn’t no slouch
English
@guypearce05 Can't disagree with what you said as it's a fact. But that was an undercooked Diamond who hit the front and couldn't get home.
There's absolutely no way anybody would say that's a dog who would do the clock; with missing the kick.
1/2.
English
@plgbm You may be right, PL! But as somebody who was adamant about laying Lennie's Tank tonight, I'll call that 1:1 and we play on!
English
@CSDogTalk He missed the kick last week as well and took off getting held up twice. He’s an aeroplane. He got to the front early tonight and gapped them.
We are all entitled to an opinion- it’s just, in this case, yours is wrong !!
English
He's seen daylight and moved off like he does at Shelbourne.
5/6 was ridiculous.
Charlie Smith@CSDogTalk
I'd want to be taking on Lennie's Tank tonight. He's too short in my opinion but there will be a lot of people who disagree.

@TeamMatchbook @plgbm @IanFortune Fantastic as usual.
That hour felt like 15 minutes.
These two are absolute top.

@BenStarSports @StarSports_Bet whats the dog closing on him at the finish?

Swords Style 40/1 with @StarSports_Bet for #GreyhoundDerby2026
If he misses; you're out
But with early like that, it takes away a lot of the worry about a bad draw
𝐑𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐬@RiversideKenne
🥇 Swords Style exploded from the traps with scintillating early pace, quickly forging an unassailable lead before storming home to post the fastest time of the day in the Star Sports & Orchestrate English Derby Trial Stakes at Towcester. A brilliant 28.71 off a rapid 3.72 split.
