YET MORE SPECIAL MARKETS FROM BOYLESPORTS

Ian Fortune

On top of the special Derby markets sent to us to post yesterday, Boylesports have come up some more that may interest punters including a UK trained greyhound to land the blue riband. 

Not since Toms The Best, who was trained by the legendary Nick Savva, in 1997 has the competition been won by a greyhound trained in the UK.

In fact, in most of the subsequent years there was no UK challenge at all. That has changed this year with March On Freddie leading a three-strong team that also consists of Keefill Maverick and Arthur Cornflake.

Boylesports are offering 14-1 about a UK trained winner, which certainly does come under the ‘special’ banner. Given the fact that March On Freddie is a best priced 14-1 to win the classic, it means you are effectively getting three bets for the price of one with his two compatriots included at that price.

Also included is the winning trainer market which is unsurprisingly headed by Graham Holland at 6-4. Graham is bidding for a record equalling fourth Derby success, while Owen McKenna, who is aiming to win for the third time, is next in at 4-1. In fact, the first eight names on the list have all won the classic in the past.

Other markets of real note include the Top Graham Holland trained runner, the top Pat Buckley trained runner and the top Liam Dowling trained runner. You can see the prices for those below.
