Kept my powder dry up til now. But I saw a dog beaten last night that took my eye. Crokers Champ is it's name. After leading easily in the 1st two rounds, it had to fight to get to the lead last night, only securing the lead rounding the 2nd bend. The result being one of the strongest stayers in the event Holdem Spy, turned a very handy 4th. And although Holdem Spy took the lead up rounding the last bend, Crokers Champ stayed with him, and even went back in front on the way to the pick up. I'd bet a large chunk that my fancy turns the form round with Holdem Spy on Tues Night, given it has less early pace to contend with. 12/1 ew 1st four to win the event is too big. I'm on.

Not overly concerned that Crokers was picked up in his semi. After all he's only just out of being a puppy, and the 3 runs in a week would have been against him. Plus it was two strong stayers chasing him.
What is more of a concern is getting Trap 1 in the final. Very bad stats from that trap, mainly I guess due to the noise, the dogs can't hear the hare approaching. Plus he defo traps quicker from the middle boxes. Only need a top 4 finish to scoop the ew money though.
Was worried about Mind the Net qualifying half way round, But he absolutly flew the last bend. Think crockers will run a much stronger race in the final but still think my fellas got enough gears to pick him up. Posted by BADBOY985
I agree with u. If it was a two dog trial, yours would be 1/5 on.... It's all about if Crokers can get to the front by the bend after prob' trapping behind due to being in 1. Then how many 'blockers' 'The Net has to pass.
WHAT A CHOKER! SAW JULIE COLLIER'S BROADCAST FROM NICK SAVVA'S PLACE JUST AFTER HE WENT BACK THERE A WEEK OR 2 AGO. HINT WAS THEN THAT HE WAS NOT 100% ,ALMOST LIKE HE HAD COME HOME TO DIE. A GREAT ONE ON THE TRACK AND AS A SIRE.
Goodluck tonight if you still have a dog in, Crokers wouldn't be a bad result for me but I would be swinging from the ceiling if Droopys Ward manages to improve again. Here's hoping. At least lets have a competitive race with no accidents.
Grrrrr not quite a Champagne Fever moment but still annoying.... Trap 1 cost Crokers the win.... Instead of popping out in front, had to work to lead... Well done to a Salad Dodger though, great story.... Westmead Hawks domination of The Derby continues.. Very apt.....
