DERBY NON-RUNNERS AND RESERVES

Ian Fortune

There have been a number of withdrawals from the opening round of the Boylesports Irish Greyhound Derby but reserves have already been confirmed.

Obviously, given the Irish model, reserves can’t be confirmed until weigh-in but it seems unlikely there will be any vacant boxes for the opening round.

Three of the non-runners happen to be Trial Stake winners, while Ardera Sam and Carrick Keano have joined them. Of those getting into the classic as reserves, Unanimous Panther and Singalong Dolly are both high profile names. 

Recent Limerick 575yd track record holder That’s It Jack will also take his place in the classic, while Getup Me Boy, who has high-class form in the UK, and the strong running Jades Rocket have also been informed and confirmed as reserves.
