No it isn't but they have 172k Facebook followers and 147k Twitter followers (latest count) that link directly to the site which is obviously run by or strongly linked with Betfair as you can bet directly from there with Betfair and they show Timeform forecast prices. It's like us with our Horse Racing Facebook and Twitter accounts, linking directly to our Horse Racing Foruml; except we don't have many followers (due to no promotion). We aren't actually geared up to promote it. Whether or not that is something Mick (site owner) is interested in, I don't know

I know what you mean smokey. Even more so with Twitter. The mind boggles at what the next generation will come up with
Absoultey sailed through! Only thing that worries me is surely her good run will come to an end soon! With greyhounds all it takes is to miss one start and it's all over!
More heat of the Derby Tnite (no idea what round we are on) some cracking heats and the toughest one yet for my fancy DOMINO STORM - 8.16 Tnite

Here are their Timeform ratings pre the quarter finals
I don't know how these fared but this is their preview of the quarter finals
Saturday’s third round Derby heats typically threw up their fair share of thrills and spills with the unfortunate defection of heavy-weight pair Eden The Kid and Ballymac Matt during some dramatic action at Plough Lane. With the quick turn-around ahead of this evening’s Quarter Finals set to tax every ounce of the remaining 24 participant's resolution, Joe Nordoff gives the Timeform view from a ratings perspective and a selection in each heat.
LENSON ROCKY (Trap 3, 20:16) and Boyneside Fun got into a protracted duel three days ago, the latter coming out on top by a diminishing head. However, Lenson Rocky arguably emerged from the tussle with as much credit, his inexperience and troubled passage on the run up both valid reasons for marking his performance up. Pat Buckley’s charge features on a master rating of 121 and, with the Trap 3 berth expected to suit better here, he gets our vote to reverse those placing’s. Boyneside Fun won’t find the make-up quite as favourable as last time, but deserves credit for making his second successive Quarter Final and he makes up the shortlist along with Jaytee Dutch.
SOUTHFIELD JOCK (Trap 2, 20:33) is comfortably clear of his rivals on Timeform's master ratings (119) and his biggest hurdle may well emerge at the traps, with both Blue Cafu and Shaneboy Freddie unlikely to be the easiest of opponents to overcome in that regard. However, Seamus Cahill’s charge is a classy operator and granted a fast break, he should prove good enough to book his spot in the semi-finals. Stay Lucky (108) has a wide draw to contend with here, but could still provide the chief danger to the selection.
JAYTEE JET (Trap 6) had given the impression he had a big effort in his locker when performing miracles to grab a qualification spot in round two and Paul Hennessy’s charge didn’t disappoint last time, a fast break and a clear passage proving the catalyst for comfortably his best performance of the competition so far. He ran to a figure of 136 on that occasion and he lines-up from what looks the perfect make-up out wide at 20:51. He has the potential to further improve his Timeform master rating of 125 with victory here, while Hiya Butt (110) posted another of his scintillating sectionals and kept on well to score himself on Saturday. He looks well housed on the rails and can join Jaytee Jet in the semi-finals, with a better start likely to see Droopys Latina take the final qualifying spot.
By far the biggest conundrum of the Quarter Final stage features at 21:08 (bookmakers currently going as big as 7/2 the field) and there will be no margin for error in a contest featuring three hounds near the top of the ante-post lists. BALLYMAC BROGAN (Trap 4) has been a lot more convincing this term and showed his class with an impressive four-and-a-quarter-length success on Saturday. He is marginally preferred to Pat Buckley’s pair Lenson Sanchez (119) & Droopys Roddick (120) and, although they are classy performers on their day, that pair are unlikely to be doing each other any favours on the inside. Old Joe Golden is a fast breaker on his day and could run a better race than his odds suggest (currently as big as 8/1).
