-An unusual Derby with strength playing key role
THERE was a fascinating William Hill Greyhound Derby debate on RPGTV Thursday night about the prospects of Ballymac Eske, who lest we forget is the only runner remaining unbeaten in the £150,000 competition.

Barrie Draper's dog is certainly dividing opinion and I'm not surprised that his connections occasionally wonder out loud just what he has to do to impress. My general view is that, although far better at Wimbledon than he was just under a year ago, it is not his ideal track with his smash out victory in the Racing Post Juvenile in March the exception rather than the norm.

Trap three no bother for 'raw pup' Sidaz Jack

BY CHARLIE LISTER OBE

I WAS delighted that all three dogs which left my kennel on Tuesday afternoon for the first Derby quarter-final at Wimbledon managed to qualify. Sidaz Jack and Hather George battled out the finish, while Tyrur Sugar Ray, who is staying with us, ran on to get third place.

Hopefully we can enjoy more good results on Saturday in the semi-finals. Sidaz Jack (9.05) showed further improvement, and ran pretty well. Some people seem to have been disappointed with him the previous week [when he got picked up Airlie Impact after leading to halfway], but I felt the going was very sticky on the inside that night and didn’t favour him.

The going seemed much better on Tuesday, and it suited Sidaz Jack. He showed good pace to the corner which, to be fair, he has done throughout the competition, and was better down the back-straight this time.

He is still a raw pup and didn’t have the ideal preparation for a Derby, but hasn’t shown in his performances. What I most like about him is the fact that he doesn’t show any nerves. He is very relaxed, and that’s a big asset to take into a Derby semi-final, with Wimbledon sure to be packed to the rafters.

I don’t think trap three will bother him. He is not a dead railer, and is the sort of dog who will run out of any box. I am hoping he comes away again on Saturday and, if he does, he will run a big race.

Might that draw cause a favourites flip-flop?

IT was purely a matter of survival, and for six sets of connections, it’s a wonderful life. For six others, a case of being so near.

Tiredness, for both greyhounds and humans, was apparent. It’s been a tough month and you’d have to say it looked it in running on Saturday. The Triple Crown dream ended for Ballymac Eske, after he had battled so hard to get there. Three quick runs took its toll.

And yet Bev Lochead, owner of Bouncy Bocko, last in the second semi, was still grinning ear-to-ear after the race. “It’s been a tremendous journey,” she said. “We had a dream, but never really expected to get so far . . . we made the semi-finals of the William Hill Derby. It is the world’s greatest race and he’s done us proud, we’ll now enter him in the stayers’ race on Saturday.”
