In the heat betting Heat 20 to go to Holta at 3/1 with Skybet looks huge as I think its a match between him and Zagar.

The more I think about it the more I fancy Holta who needs points to make the GP's next year (him and loads of others to be fair but at 10th he has a great chance if he can find a win in the last 3 events and he was third here in 2007). He is going to be my selection I think....now watch Hancock romp in now I have said that!!!!

Holta beats Zagar in Heat 20 (ok I'm blowing my own trumpet again but its rare I get so much right on the trot so excuse me for it!!!!!)

Even good old Scottie Nicholls got through despite finishing last in that heat

Pederson favourite!!!! Why???? Does not even seem equiped to make the final on recent form let alone win it.

Crump is massive at 4/1 but does not need to win so will be happy to make the final and stay out of trouble.

Jonsson won last time from nowhere and will be full of confidence but 10/1 not great odds and a repeat win would probably be an even greater achievement.

Hancock again appeals at 12/1 as he was a bit unlucky in the last GP

The one to worry about is wild card Matej Zabel as he will be desperate to get in full time next year and has been riding as well as anyone in the UK for Swindon. 12/1 is not value for a wild card I guess but he could well go along way and even win it if the occassion and pressure does not get to him.

Rune Holta at 50/1 could be a shade over priced too as people protect points to ensure they reach the top 8 to qualify for next year it might lead to another surprise winner from nowhere like last time.

NOW I REALLY HATE NIKKI PEDERSEN!!!!!!......told you he would not justify favoritism mind you


So close to a 50/1 winner if the first running had been allowed to go on Holta would have taken it and then that clown causes a crash and our hotheaded Russian goes and takes the re-run.....DOH!!!!!

In the Irish Greyhound Derby Final (9.42) I'm opposing College Causeway and hoping Shaneboy Lee scoots round the outside and takes home the prize (5/1 with Boylesports and Ladbrokes)

Aint betting a funny old game?

Been on quite a poor run lately just with the odd decent win, but loads of bets where just one lets me down. It's been a case of a double returns a winner and a 2nd, a treble returns two winners and a 2nd etc, etc...

Anyway, today having spent ages looking through the form for today's racing and football I had another poor day, but on the way to the Wakey match tonight just stopped off at the bookies as I had a bit of spare change, bit pushed for time so very quickly scanned the Wolverhampton card and picked out a fiver double on La Gifted (7/1) and Snowberry Hill (7/2) result = £180 to collect tomorrow...

As I say, it's a funny old game..

College Causeway was amazing in taking the Irish Greyhound Derby, it was like watching Westmead Hawk at his best.

Feared the worst for it at the first bend when it looked at though it was gonna get badly hampered between 4 and 6, I've seen worse collisions. Amazing stuff to come from last like that and tank through the field to win goin away, great dog..

St Pauli, Roma and Hibernian today.
Vikings -4 in NFL.
