P599 Teletext 599 Jun24 16:44:01 ————————— — Wimbledon ————————————— DERBY FINAL — 9.45 — LIVE ON S.I.S This is one of the most open finals for years and despite the disappointing elimination of Wjstmjad Merlin at the semi-final stage, it looks a hot heat. First things first, unless there is sjvjre carnage at the first bend it is unlikely that Curryhills Fancy will bj quick enough to land the crown. Brutally frank, but realistically clear to see. So that leaves five across the track to choose from. ————————————————————————————————1/9———— Racing headlines 570 Race cards 580 SAT NIGHT GAMBLE BE ON IT NOW 569 Index Steamers Diary Track FactsP599 Teletext 599 Jun24 16:42:43 ————————— — Wimbledon ————————————— DERBY FINAL — 9.45 — LIVE ON S.I.S The fairytale result would be for Pearls Girl, darling of the Plough Lane regulars, to become the joint oldest winner of the blue riband. She has run with great zest and determination to reach this stage and must bj odds-on to lead up. The problem is she does not always trap from the red jacket and there is only one way she can win and that is by firing up and leading all-the-way. ————————————————————————————————2/:———— Racing headlines 570 Race cards 580 SAT NIGHT GAMBLE BE ON IT NOW 569 Index Steamers Diary Track FactsP599 Teletext 599 Jun24 16:52:20 ————————— — Wimbledon ————————————— DERBY FINAL — 9.45 — LIVE ON S.I.S At around the 9-4 mark Pearls Girl may not bj worth chancing in the trapping stakes and she is more than likely to get picked up even if she flies out. In turn, Mustang Joe should trap ahead of Moaning Lad and Moaning Lad ahead of Hires Seanie. Moaning Lad's lack of early sizzle was badly exposed by Pearls Girl in the semi and hj can't afford any hitches, the same applies to Hires Seanie. ————————————————————————————————3/9———— Racing headlines 570 Race cards 580 SAT NIGHT GAMBLE BE ON IT NOW 569 Index Steamers Diary Track FactsP599 Teletext 599 Jun24 16:40:48 ————————— — Wimbledon ————————————— DERBY FINAL — 9.45 — LIVE ON S.I.S Spectacular winner of the Blue Riband at Wembley, Hires Seanie injured a shoulder earlier in the competition, but his trainer feels all is well. Sure, if he came back to his mid-season best hj would probably start favourite, but in our eyes hj has just been running that bit too flat to consider. Before we look at the two and three box contenders, Summjrhill Joy is worthy of a mention. ————————————————————————————————4/:———— Racing headlines 570 Race cards 580 SAT NIGHT GAMBLE BE ON IT NOW 569 Index Steamers Diary Track FactsP599 Teletext 599 Jun24 16:40:38 ————————— — Wimbledon ————————————— DERBY FINAL — 9.45 — LIVE ON S.I.S Summjrhill Joy has steadily improved throughout the competition and has a big advantage in six, outside the only other wide seed. He will surely lead up Curryhills Fancy and rule the roost on the outside. Yet hj will have his work cut out to catch Pearls Girl or outstay Moaning Lad and Mustang Joe. He is certainly not as good as the last two Irish winners Farloe Melody & Lartiguj Note. ————————————————————————————————5/:———— Racing headlines 570 Race cards 580 SAT NIGHT GAMBLE BE ON IT NOW 569 Index Steamers Diary Track FactsP599 Teletext 599 Jun24 16:48:12 ————————— — Wimbledon ————————————— DERBY FINAL — 9.45 — LIVE ON S.I.S So we come to the big two in our view. Moaning Lad and Mustang Joe. Mustang Joe is only a lightly raced sort who gives the impression that hj has plenty more left in the locker. A son of the great Ardfert Sean, this white and brindle flyer has steadily improved his trapping and that could bj the key to this contest. If he can lead up, or stick close to Pearls Girl, hj must go close. But then there's the Lad ————————————————————————————————6/:———— Racing headlines 570 Race cards 580 SAT NIGHT GAMBLE BE ON IT NOW 569 Index Steamers Diary Track FactsP599 Teletext 599 Jun24 16:48:30 ————————— — Wimbledon ————————————— DERBY FINAL — 9.45 — LIVE ON S.I.S Beaten a shade under 2L by the great Moral Standards last year, Moaning Lad still possesses a potent kick in the final quarter of a race. His trapping has been steady if unspectacular, but if 7-2 can bj grabbed on the rails tonight, hj could prove the value to catch the Girl. A clear run, that rare commodity in greyhound racing, is the key tonight and whoever gets it will win! ————————————————————————————————7/9———— Racing headlines 570 Race cards 580 SAT NIGHT GAMBLE BE ON IT NOW 569 Index Steamers Diary Track FactsP599 Teletext 599 Jun24 16:46:51 ————————— — Wimbledon ————————————— DERBY FINAL — 9.45 — LIVE ON S.I.S Over-simplistic, well if Pearls Girl blasts out and there is trouble outsjdj, she will win. In a clean run race, it really is hard to get away from Moaning Lad, but there is a big if of him clearing Mustang Joe on the run-up. Undecided, we are, but this is a terribly hard race to predict and Moaning Lad gets a narrow vote over Pearls Girl and Summjrhill Joy. ————————————————————————————————8/9———— Racing headlines 570 Race cards 580 SAT NIGHT GAMBLE BE ON IT NOW 569 Index Steamers Diary Track FactsP599 Teletext 599 Jun24 16:59:44 Advert RACING NEWS >> t h< h |h4|,(|$ Hat L n| --- GENUIN* INFO FR M /,E /UMBE ONE / P $j .% /n j5j5n /l4$j , OU IS THE MESSAGE FROM MY MAN DO NOT MISS THIS ON MONDAY ACCORDING TO MY SPY, HIS IS THE P OVE BIAL h,$ < |hl4|,hh4|hl4|,hh jn jj5$ / *s7c/*s/*,/ {£/**/,**3/**7/, 3kh1, |$lj h 5hj "$ z (- ?!
