It will come as no surprise to anyone that Magical Bale clocked the fastest sectional to halfway in Saturday’s Star Sports/ARC/LPS Greyhound Derby quarter finals with his fastest time to date (all figures are computer generated and compiled by Mark Pierrepont).
But look beneath the surface and there is so much more to discover. For example, ten of the fastest twelve to halfway made it through to the semis and the fastest five are all drawn in the same semi.
