Sparta Maestro led them around the first two turns but Piercestown was always in close company and stole the lead after they both tangled entering the back straight.

Piercetown kicked on to lead by 3l down the back but Sparta Maestro had found his rhythm again and was closing right up as they turned for home. But not to be outdone Piercetown dug deep and clung on the slimmest of margins, with a photo needed to decided the winner. Dream Walker came home in third. The winning time was 29.61.

Greyhound racing has become a hugely popular sport in Ireland and the UK and the sport continues to go from strength to strength.  This site is aimed at the casual fan of greyhound racing and hopes to provide easy to follow information and guidance on the sometimes confusing world of greyhound racing and betting.

Razldazl George,  under the expert handling of Dolores Ruth, is the 2011 Irish Greyhound Derby champion.

Sent off the 5/2 2nd favourite George was forced to pull out all the stops to deny Dream Walker the crown in what was a tumultuous affair. His kennel mate Razldazl Bugatti, running from Trap 1, caused all sorts of problems when moving wide from the break, first hampering both Dream Walker and George and then hampering the favourite Rockchase Bullet on the 1st bend.

All the bunching around the first and second bends left the door open for the Tom O’Neill trained Dream Walker to recover from his early trouble to shoot through into a clear lead. George was the only dog to go with him off T3, and eventually ground down Dream Walker to claim the prize by the minimum of margins in 30.02. The ever consistent Krug Ninety Five yet again stayed on the best of the remainder to clinch 3rd place.

Result

1st Razldazl George 5/2

2nd Dream Walker 10/1

3rd Krug Ninty Five 8/1

After 6 weeks of fantastic racing at Shelbourne Park, the 2011 Ladbrokes Irish Greyhound Derby is down to the final stage.  With only 6 dogs remaining the competition is still wide open with a number of handlers fancying their chances of landing the top prize, but one suspects none will be happier than Dolores Ruth who goes into the final double handed, with ante-post favourite Razldazl George ( 5/2 ) and 3rd favourite Razldazl Bugatti ( 3/1 ).

Razldazl George started his semi final the warm odds on favourite but for the second week in succession he had to surrender first place to the ever improving Rockchase Bullet who clocked a very good 29.67. Rockview Head was close home in 3rd third for trainer Peter Cronin and secured his final spot at the expense of the fast finishing Droopys Twirl.

In the second semi final of the night Razldazl Bugatti led them around from the first bend, and despite late challenges from the ultra consistent Krug Ninety Five and Dream Walker, he did just enough to hold on in a time of 29.99.

The final promises to be a tremendous occassion and the draw is as follows:

1 Razldazl Bugatti

2 Dream Walker

3 Rockview Head

4 Razldazl George

5 Krug Ninety Five

6 Rockchase Bullet

After 4 weeks of top class action the field for the 2011 Ladbrokes Irish Greyhound Derby has been whittled down to just 12 dogs. The quarter finals threw up some major shocks, with regining champion Tyrur McGuigan and his litter brother Tyrur Big Mike both exiting the competition. Other competition fancies to fall by the wayside included Makeshift, Razldazl Jayfkay and Airforce Roger.

Tournament favourite Razldazl George, came home 2nd in his heat behind a very impressive Rockchase Bullet. Razldazl Bugatti, going for 5 wins the trot was just caught late home by the strong finishing Dream Walker, and Hey Gringo slipped in to grab the final qualifying spot.

After racing the draw was made of the semi final, which will be run on Saturday 3rd of September at Shelbourne Park, and is as follows:

Following a tremendous nights racing at Shelbourne Park the  2011 Ladbrokes Irish Greyhound derby is creeping closer to its conclusion with the draw for the quarter final being made.

The first quarter  Razldazl Bugatti will be fancied to continue his excellent run of form and extend his winning sequence to 4 on the trot in the competition so far but will face stiff compeition in the form of Melodys Royal draw in Trap 6.

The second heat sees Tyrur McGuigan favourable drawn and will be fancied to progress from here, with Croom Star in T2 his most likely competition.

The third quarter looks to be the most competitive of the heats with no less than five of the previous round winners lining up to do battle, it’ll be a brave man to call the three qualifiers from this heat and we are sure at least two of the tournament favourites will be sent packing.

The final quarter of the night sees Tyrur Big Mike take on Razldazl Jayfkay. The ultra consistent Krug Ninety Five will be battling with Shelbourne Geoff for the final qualifying spot.

Following four nights of tremendous racing the Ladbrokes Irish Greyhound Derby of 2011 has now reached the 3rd round stage. The competition thus far has been dominated by the Razldazl litter brothers George & Jayfkay running under the care of Dolores Ruth. Razldazl George has been drawn in Heat 6, in which his main challenge should come from the Paul Hennessy trained, Colorful Champ. Jayfkay has been handed a slightly trickier assignment in Heat 3 where he is drawn in T4, just outside the defending champion Tyrur McGuigan, who showed he is not going to give up his crown without a fight with a hard earned victory in his heat on Saturday night.

Other interesting clashes to keep an eye on include the meeting of the impressive Airforce Roger and Meadow Bank Owl in Heat 2 and Heat 7 sees the three way clash of last years runner up Tyrur Big Mike, Champion Stakes winner Uncle Eoin and the English raider, Droopys Greg.
The 3rd Round will be run on Saturday 20th at Shelbourne Park. The full draw is available below or click here for the latest betting on the 2011 Ladbrokes Irish Greyhound Derby
