There is no forum for greyhound racing so so I've added this as the index of all greyhound racing topics.

Nice one Ron, the more competitive heat is Heat 1. Bubbly Phoenix and Razldazl Jayfkay lock horns again. Phoenix totally missed the break in the QF but if getting out on terms tonight he could give the favourite something to think about. A railers battle could occur too between Razldazl Rioga and Coolavanny Bert. Middle runner Judicial Ruling (many shrewd pundits like this outsider) could get a trouble free run. In Heat 2 Taylors Sky should qualify easily but would be nice to see him really hit the lids and post a time. Ravldazl Bugatti could lead him up but shouldnt hold him. Droopys Jet should qualify with these two.
I've been a dog man forever, but of course I know nothing of the UK form. I've had a squint at the two races and came up with the inside runner Razldazl Rioga. His early sectionals might just give him the edge in the run to the first corner, if he can hold them off there, he'll probably take some catching. Nice price too. In the second semi, The favourite from the inside alley might just get squeezed on the first bend. He wasn't that quick from the boxes last time out, so for mine is a worry at the price. Razldazl Guggati from the 3 slot should charge out and be close throughout, but I'm not sure he had the legs to hold them off.
I don't follow this in anyway but I was looking at the form for Ron's comp. This Razdazl JayfKay seems to have some good form in the book. Another that seemed to have beaten many of the contenders was one called Boher Paddy and he has won all his recent races over 480 but isn't in the semi's. What happend?
Boher Paddy was ko'd in the QF Cyc Taylors Sky won this last year, he is no slouch out of the traps just hasnt peaked yet! Razldazl Jayfkay broke the track record in Round 2 and is like lightening from the boxes.
Not sure if I could have got heat 1 more right. Judicial Ruling could qualify getting a clear run...BOOM. Fav Jayfkay and second fav Phoenix both OUT in one of the most dramatic semi finals ever. Taylors Sky cruises into the Final but then the kick in the nuts when he draws Trap 4. I have to check if he has seen trap four but the boy is pure class and is in the FINAL....come on!
