    Greyhound Racing/Gambling Blog

    So I have decided to start a blog about greyhound racing focusing specifically on the ups and downs of owning greyhounds and gambling on greyhounds. I hope over the next while the blog will grow and develop but this can only happen with feedback. I would really appreciate if you would check it out and leave any comments you have.

    Thanks
    Stephen

              Some dog for your first purchase. Best of luck with the injury. Does he still hold the record at Dundalk?

                        Stephen,
                        I just read your blog update, nice work keep it up.
                        Should we expect to see Tipp in the Laurels?
                        Cheers,

                          Just posted up a preview of Thursday's Heats, looks like we agreed on quite a view.

                          Laurels is certainly an option we will be looking at.

                                    was impressed with makeshift last nite.
                                    nice time as well.might be worth a small investment.

                                          I backed 2 greyhounds ew antepost for the derby. Slippery bob at 66/1, and Razzledazzle Bugati at 50/1.
                                          Do you like any of their chances? Both have run well subsequently in the 1st round heats, but theres such a long way to go.

                                          I have owned a few greyhounds in my day, even bred a couple of litters, but havent had a greyhound now for about 6 years. Itching to get back involved again actually. I look forward to reading your blog.

                                                  hi stephen

                                                  well done on the recent wins.
                                                  nama is a good looking dog who shows a great bit of middle pace.
                                                  u should be able to get a few more wins out of him.
                                                  have his prices been any good.

                                                                  Comment

                                                                    Last year I went for Razzledazzle Bugati at the start of the Derby who gave me a great run all the way to the final.

                                                                    This year, my 1st pick is another Razzledazzle dog, Razzledazzle Rioga. This dog won the Betdaq race of Champions Final in Trallee on saturday last. The event was live on Sky sports. This black dog ran extremely well and led from trap to line over the Irish Derby distance of 550 yards, and in so doing, beat a top class field and recorded the 2nd fastest time ever recorded in Trallee for that distance.
                                                                    Rioga also made the semi-final of this years English Greyhound Derby where a slow start (very unusual for him) cost him his place in the final. At 25/1, woth a few bob each way I think for a bit of interest.

                                                                    Comment

Do you need to know tricks of he trade to get to the meat. I know i failed miserably when i got to tackling my full lobster in lidl a while back, promised myself thats it with me and lobster. So is there anything you can tell me to change my mind.
