BOCKOS DIAMOND NOW JUST 6-4 FOR DERBY GLORY

Ian Fortune

After laying a number of bets at 10-1 and 8-1 for the track record to go, Derby sponsors, Boylesports, are taking no chances with Bockos Diamond in the outright market and have slashed the sensational son of Dorotas Wildcat to 6-4 for Boylesports Irish Greyhound Derby glory.

It comes as no shock given the incredible display he produced on Saturday night, smashing the four-year old mark of Pestana. He is without doubt the shortest priced Derby favourite going into the quarter finals of the classic in many, many years.

The top of the market will make kind reading for Graham Holland and those involved with his Riverside Kennels outfit as the top three in the betting are all based in Golden. Bombay Pat is the nearest rival to his kennel companion Bockos Diamond at 8-1, while another kennelmate, Cheap Sandwiches, is now just 10-1 with Boylesports following his latest brilliant effort.

English Derby champion De Lahdedah, Juvenile Derby winner Callaway Knegare and the UK’s finest March On Freddie make up a talented trio on the 12-1 mark, while Da Bold Falcon, Seven Beach, Ballinabola Jim and Boylesports Bob all sit on 16-1.
