2011 Derby

Tinytony

The Derby gets under way tomorrow night.

Anybody got any major fancies or speculative ante post punts?

I've had small each way bets on Barefoot Bullet and Makeshift, but this was before the draw and now Makeshift has a tricky draw in Heat 1.

I've the full list of the draw and top dogs in the betting thrown up here:

What do you make of the chances of Tyrur Domingo?

sdevine89

Some very impressive recent 525 trials would expect him to get through a couple of rounds but still think he is better over further than 550. Certainly has a chance though.

Ya, a seasoned punter I know thinks he is serious value at 50/1.

Tonights Irish Derby First Round Results (Heats 1 - 6)

All the main dogs made it safely out of heat 1, with Makeshift winning impressively. Disappointing run from Meadowbank Owl later on in the night but at the moment it's all about qualifying and he should come on for the run.

A serious performance from Ballymac Razal too in Heat 5.

half way through the first round and the 3 dogs that impressed me so far is

1 MAKESHIFT

2 BALLYMAC RAZL

3 SLIPPERY BOB.

still along way to go but makeshift did go like a champion, good to see droopys twril getting back to winning ways last night.
disappointed with the tyrur dogs at the moment but will be expecting big runs over the next few weeks.

Anyone any thoughts on razldazl buggatis run last night, serious effort. have him backed at 50/1 outright. if he holds form he could go a long way.

Yeah he ran great last night but he had a bit of luck with deerfield (4) pushing the 5 and 6 dogs out of the way to give him a good clear run to te first bend. he needs to be the clear run the whole time as i cant seeing him the type of dog that would come from behind, I say once he is behind he'll stay there..
I have the other brother Kingo at e/w at 40/1 but i think the trip is about 5 strides to short for him.
I say the two of them will be still there come semi final time.

Nowso

a tough 1st round so far , qualifying is the name of the game

Tinytony

Rumours of the Tyrur dogs not being in the best of health. PJ Fahy had said they are being treated by a vet and he will inform Shelbourne Park on Thursday morning whether or not they are fit to race.

Shaping up to be some cracking heats, especially on Saturday night.

Irish Derby 2nd Round Draw

2 out injured a few doubts no need to suspend betting

Looking forward to tomorrow night.

I expect Jayfkay to get the better of Tyrur McGuigan and at odds against could be worth a punt. I also fancy Uncle Eoin to turn over Big Mike, currently around 9/4.

Makeshift and Tyrur Quinn will be a good battle in the first but I'd be hoping Makeshift will just have enough.

Big price alright but he is in a seriously tough quarter final, big mike, jayfkay and shelbourne geoff should all get away and krug ninety five will finish like a train as always. Think there will be an upset in this heat, hopefully you get some luck.

I'm still on razldazl bugatti, had a small each way bet ante-post@50/1, in the easier of the quarters, will all depend on how he breaks. he has serious early pace but could get caught coming home.

Bookies cleaned up in tonights quarter finals

Draw for the final

1. Razldazl Bugatti
2. Dream Walker
3. Rockview Head
4. Razldazl George
5. Krug Ninety Five
6. Rockchase Bullet

Bullet must be the one to beat but I think bugatti can give him a tough time of it with his early pace, maybe thats just me being optimistic though.

on bullet at 66 and 50 . place bet up . so now hope for the best

Buggatti for me, peach of a draw

Deathwish4

Not a classic line up by any means but fascinating none the less.

Bugatti leads, surely rockchase gets a wallop of some sort from 6, george bit flat last week, will need leg room early to get a run at bugatti.

Bugatti makes all for me.

R0UF

If Rockchase gets round the first I have no doubt he'll pick up Bugatti down the back. Fair enough 6 isn't great, but 4 and 5 are effectively empty on the run up and and it's not impossible he could cut right in at the bend and go clear. Originally thought it was a terrible draw for Rockchase but the more I look at it the more I like it and he's the dog with the best all round pace in the final. Should be clear fav imo.

Had my serious bet on Rockchase in semi 3/1 .The worst Derby in history not many chasing.Imagine bringing a bitch to the winner of this,rogues comes to mind .
