Sunderland switch

 

TAKEN FROM THE GREYHOUND STAR  — June 8, 2015


Sunderland has switched the dates of its last set of opens before the start of next month’s UK Festival of Racing.

 Advertised in the current Calendar to be rum on Saturday, June 27 they have been brought forward 24 hours to Friday, June 26 to avoid a clash with Derby final night at Wimbledon.

 There will also be a series of opens at the racecourse on Saturday, June 20, with both racecards featuring races over the distances of the major Festival events – The Classic, the Grand Prix, the Flyer and the Puppy Plate.

 A racecourse spokesman said: “We will also do what we can to accommodate trainers looking for trials for their greyhounds, with Friday and Saturday pre-racing sessions preferred, and their will be a special trial session on Monday, June 29, the day before entries for the Classic and Grand Prix close.

[BVADMIN]

Sunderland is preparing itself for a marathon session on Monday [29/6/15], with 74 racers due to face the starter in 57 trials just ahead of the last call for entries for the Classic and Grand Prix at noon on Tuesday.

Charlie Lister will put Romeo Ballistic, Johnny Vivaro and Southern Mesut through their paces, Pat Rosney is back with last year’s Classic winner Mileheight Alba, Pinpoint Maxi, winner in 2013 and fourth last year will have his first run since April, Paul Young will be there in strength and there is an Irish challenge from Peter Cronin, who is giving Tynwald Rodney and Crokers Champ a look round.

Horrible track Sunderland for any greyhound that's never had a look-round.

Here's hoping 'MESSI' handles the very tricky first sharp bend.

Money for Crokers Champ (above) for the Sunderland Classic

 


Crokers sees cash for Sunderland Classic glory



By Jonathan Kay of the Racing Post


Sunderland is on RPGTV for the next two Saturdays (heats and semis), the finals are Wednesday July 15, live on Sky Sports

THERE have been two withdrawals from Saturday's William Hill Festival opener at Sunderland, with lame duo Lowgate Onyx and Old Joe Golden withdrawn.

The absence of Lowgate Onyx leaves trap five vacant in the fourth heat of the Grand Prix over 640m, while Old Joe Golden is replaced in trap six in heat six of the Classic by Poolie Storm.

PINPOINT MAXI, running in the event for the third time having won in 2013 and then finished fourth as the odds-on favourite in the final last year, has been installed as 9-2 favourite by the sponsor for the £25,000 William Hill Classic starting over 450m at Sunderland on Saturday.

Kelly Macari’s dog, who officially became a veteran this week, has been restricted to one race so far this campaign – tiring into fourth behind Viking Jack in a Win And You’re In Derby trial stakes at Sheffield in May – after which there was some doubt about his returning to action. However, he sparkled when clocking 15.53sec (calc) in a 261m trial at Sunderland on Monday.

“I thought the trial was very good, and so was that of his brother Conna Trigger [15.47sec prompting a 7-1 quote],” said Hills odds-compiler Derek Hope. “Okay, Pinpoint Maxi might not have had the ideal preparation but I think he’s a machine round Sunderland and the public couldn’t get enough of him last year.

“Crokers Champ [now into 5-1 from an initial 13-2 ] looks as if Sunderland will be absolutely ideal for him. I read that the Derby came a bit too soon for him, but he was beaten only a length and a half by Rio Quattro after leading so it wasn’t as though he ran poorly.”

Crokers Champ is now a 6-1 best with Betfred, BoyleSports and Paddy Power.

Hills have also seen money for Jolly Tricks, and the 12-1 now there is also top price at BoyleSports and Paddy Power.

Mileheight Alba (20-1) and Farley Rio (25-1) are back to defend the Classic and £15,000 William Hill Grand Prix titles they won respectively last year, but Hope thinks more will be required. “The Classic is full of early pace and I think the Derby form will stand up very well,” he added, “so it’s good to see the likes of Kevin Hutton and Seamus Cahill sending their dogs up.

“As for the Grand Prix, you wouldn’t like to rule anything out. It looks really competitive and it may be that trap draws will play a very big part.”
