Karasenir got things off to a good start. Oh well, Australia Day landed the odds at 1/2. Had its way up front easily by the sound of it.

Had a busy afternoon and was out from 1pm til now, so probably would've swerevd Noble Alan and taken the jolly had I been at the computer as he was 7/2 when I placed the bet and went off a massive 7/1, with the favourite piling from 8/11 to 1/2.

Couple of Greyhounds worth a punt on.....


Tudor Prince 66/1 Greyhound Derby 2011.....in the Belle Vue Puppy Derby Final this week and if he takes that in style should be 33/1 or so for next years big one and then if he progresses through the rest of the year could go into the winter as a real leading contender (already beaten and lost by a head to current favourite Rayvin Giovanni).


Fawkham Emperor 40/1 Greyhound St Ledger (Semi's Tuesday Final Tuesday Week live on Sky). Won in the first round and totally ballsed up the start in his second round heat by stumbling out of the boxes but showed true guts to take the lead at one stage but get run out of it late on. If he starts as he can things could fall right and with 3 through in each semi there is a decent margin for error. Both semi's are hot looking affairs where you would expect a fair few casualties amongst the favourites and at the price he is well worth a small investment.
