Celebrations at Perry Barr on Thursday. Paul Gebhard continued his decent run with a £30 wins on 8-11 and 7-2 chances for a £86 profit bottle of Asda champagne But it could have been more. His own bitch Drahbeg Dart struggled in the A1 and let him down for another £30 win and a 46-1 treble.
Hannah Prince was also on the 7-2 winner Sawpit Segovia and is sipping £125 Moet & Chandon. Robert Short is in the chippie necking a bottle of Sarsons. (-£100).
A football analogy to illustrate the Thursday night tipping at Newcastle. Jimmy Wright played like an ex-winger. He showed great early promise to skin the full back (£20 on a 15-8 winner) but then crossed the ball into the hotdog stand (with one last, and one KO’d) for a £42.50 loss. Jimmy Fenwick contributed nothing after being locked in the gents (-£100). Steve Anderson turned up with a cricket bat (-£100).
ROMFORD CANCELLED TONIGHT DUE TO WEATHER CONDITIONS
NOTTINGHAM
All eyes on Nottingham tonight where Mark Pierrepont takes on Alan Double Digit Bellis (in danger of becoming Alan ‘Not Seen in Running’ Bellis) and Peter Harnden, who might be described as a ‘Marmite character’ – except that some people like Marmite.
The form
The views:
Mark Pierrepont:
Andgonefromthere (R3 T2) December 18 dog pup for trainer Jill Llewellin who won’t be hanging around in A6 for very long. Sprint trials including a 1819 in his final 305m spin were a cut above this level. Encountered trouble in both of his 500m qualifying trials which saw him graded very handily indeed. Was sent off a short priced 6/4 favourite on last week’s debut but once again hit trouble all over the track and looked a very tired dog on the run in so can only improve for the blow out. What was impressive though was his back straight pace and he looked a dog worth sticking with. Any kind of run tonight and he should prove far too good , do watch the exchange markets as fancied greyhounds from this kennel very rarely go unsupported £100 win
Alan Bellis
Haddington Mary (R6 T1) close railer who can benefit from being in a race full of middle to wide runners. Always well supported in the market for Terry Munslow £50 win.
Hopalong Eleni (R9 T2) higher grade at best but run with credit at this level of A3 last time out which was her first run back post lockdown. Certain to lead around the first bend with any kind of break and with that run from last week in the locker can take the beating £50 win.
Peter Harnden
Boherna Act (R1 T6) been great form just lately for Barry Denby, winning 3 of his last 4. Not always the best at the bends but confidence is high and the make up of this race should suit £100 win
