Odds on in Open races is always one to be wary of (and as a rule of thumb the shorter the distance the more vunerable they are). Whilst everyones eyes are on the Derby alot of runners will be given their first runs in Opens and as last night showed some will come good at massive odds but thats how Greyhounds develop and unless your trained by Charlie Lister your likely to go off at big odds now and then but that will not stop a decent "unfashionable" dog winning.

What was poor at Peterborough was the amount of railers in Trap 4 (nothing they could have done about the Final but one off opens should have a better balance of runners).

Lister, Draper, Wallace, Savva are the main guys and Carly Philpott was a good young trainer when she trained (think she's with Elaine Parker now or married to someone's son etc.)

CP are you back on Proportional for French 1000?

: Wed May 06, 2009 11:27 am  

Yeah I am - think she'll run a good race, the front two in the market are worthy favourites though as we know Elusive Wave has trained on and Fantasia was impressive at Newmarket.

Don't go in too big mind on Proportional.

Think Tiger will win the golf as he will be smarting after last weeks failure.

Not sure I will back him at 4/1 but certainly will not be backing against him and going for anyone else.

The Italian Open is anyones to win and could well turn into a birdie fest and is often won by a first time winner or at least a lower profile name....Simon Khan has a decent record there and has won the Welsh Open which is a similar low scoring shoot out and at 200/1 is worth a go.

No arguments there but people like Allsopp, Cahill and Clemenson know the time of day and the last 2 being Hove trainers I'd say now the Stow is no more that is the best standard graded track in the country (a fair few of dogs that have gone through the grades at Hove are in the 2nd round of the Derby).

Funny you mention Hove as it's now my local track

Backed a dog from round here in the outrights - Barnfield On Air, not that hopeful as he only just scraped through the first round

I'm swerving it. Got a 30 pound free bet on Leeds United to win the play off final. 56 pound will come into my account (Would have been 30 stake if it wasn't a free bet).

2-2 hence Barca will go through on away goals ruling.
