| The final was won by Blue Square Greyhound Derby Final Wimbledon 480-metres 10.12 - Wimbledon 1. Forest Scholes 2. Ullid Conor 3. Dilemmas Flight (W) 4. Caulry Fast Trap (W) 5. Loyal Honcho (W) 6. Westmead Lord (W) WON 6/1 Selections 6-3-2 RESULT - 6-5-1 Westmead Lord (writes, or rather, wrote Ozzie Osman) can give trainer Nick Savva his third consecutive Derby title by taking a first bend lead and making all ahead of kennel mate Dilemmas Flight. Having secured the double in 2005 and 2006 with the mercurial Westmead Hawk, due to be measured up for Madam Tusards next week, Savva can work his master canine handling skills once again with the famous prefix. Stats men, yes I've done the research, will tell you that greyhounds can go all the way to a derby final without winning a single qualifying heat and yet still walk away with the sports richest prize. Allen Gift proved it could be done in 2002 and further back in time Slippy Blue in 1990, I was in the ring that night 16-1 into 8-1, and on the gamble, produced the run of his life in the decider having failed to win a solitary heat leading up to the big night. Pearls Girl, 1995, was the last bitch who had a genuine chance of landing the OAKS/DERBY double. She was one of the fastest bitches to wear a racing jacket but could only finish fourth when jinxed with the red vest when favourite that year. Dilemmas Flight has a crack at that unique set and has come to hand beautifully for the Savva camp. "'She was absolutely bouncing out of the kennel on Sunday morning shes's racing with total enthusiasm and I could not be more pleased with her'' Savva stated. Ullid Conor looks best placed for the Irish challenge Paul Hennessys' charge took the eye at Sunderland when picking up a nice prize over the six-bend trip. Hes' performed with great guts and determination throughout the tournament and deserves to feature at the winning line. Really impressed in the semi finals when knuckling down tenaciously to beat Forest Scholes. Loyal Honcho proved the five box isn't his favourite slot when moderately away behind Dilemmas Flight in the semi final. The Easter Cup third may well be in the wars with Caulry Fast Trap, Rye House Derby champ, in the early exchanges so is omitted. There has never been a Derby champion from trap one since the event moved to Wimbledon 22 years ago so history is very much against Forest Scholes. Set to be another memorial night for the great Nick Savva as he looks destined to train the first two home .

ANTE POST VIEWPOINT (written June 1) My Super Six. BARNFIELD ON AIR 40-1 Power BLONDE DINO 33-1 Power COBRA STRIKING 125-1 B Direct/VC ICEMAN ROSS 100-1 Coral/Hills MANGO TANGO 100-1 B Direct/Hills ZIGZAG DUTCHMAN 150-1 BLUE SQUARE/Lads LAY Trap 4 FEAR HARIBO - heat 6 (9.09 Wimbledon Thursday June 7th) The outstanding winner of The Scottish Derby at Shawfield is the clear ante-post jolly with most firms. However, 'White Lightning' may have cold water spilt on his black jacket in this heat. The very presence of Lilywhite Paddy in three may send cold shivers down the spines of punters who have backed him. Paddy is my no means a star but he has enough early pace to shut the favourite down into the first bend. Fear Haribo likes to cut down to the rails when leaving the boxes whilst Lilywhite Paddy boasts half-decent early to the turn and may well stop the favourite getting a run. So with that in mind lay Fear Haribo at 4-7. Trap 2 Droopy's Robinho - heat 30 (10.00 Wimbledon, Saturday June 9th) One of the Betfair ante-post favourites is likely to go off odds-on in his heat on Saturday night. While there's no doubting he's fast, he may struggle to gain a clear run into the bend with Directors Chair (T3) and local runner Knockna Kirka (T1) either side. He is worth a small lay at odds of 8-11. BACK TO LAY OFF MEENALA CRUISER A fantastic winner of puppy event at Sunderland, Julie Bateson's youngster took the bends there as fast and as clean as any dog I've seen this year. The black son of Droopys Woods smashed the 450-metre track record in 26.64secs. Connections initially felt the Derby would come too soon for him but after that stunning run they have rightly entered him. Meenala Cruiser (Trap 5) runs in a very weak looking heat 22 on Saturday. The advice is to back him ante-post and they lay him off. He will shine against moderate rivals and then without question the bookmakers will react accordingly and cut his price.
