Win bonuses can sometimes be viewed as ‘just about unwinnable’ but not so the £10,000 that Colossus Bets are offering to an unbeaten winner the Silver Salver at Central Park.
In a fortnight’s time, the connections of any unbeaten runner will be challenged by Bernard Marantelli as to whether they want to cash out. (It would have been an interesting option for owner Mick Gollogly last year whose Troy Bella went into the decider unbeaten, only to be withdrawn – bitten)
Marantelli said: “We know there’s plenty of racing between Sunday’s heats and the final on July 19, but we could have some real fun if any greyhound follows up a heat win by landing one of the three semi-finals – then we’ll test the nerve of connections!”
Pool betting operator Colossus Bets will be running jackpot pools on each of the next three Sundays at Central Park – and Marantelli is delighted with the entry for the first major open-race competition since lockdown restrictions were eased.
In addition to the £3,000 guaranteed first prize, the sponsors are offering 15% trainer bonus plus 2% to re-homing.
