If Jimmy Fenwick was a greyhound, you would have phoned the breeder, ‘Not sure he is up to it, you’d better have him back.’ But with the transporter booked, he amazed everyone. Incredibly Wor Jimmy finally got his head in front for a long (long long) overdue winning night on Tuesday and a £50 profit. If Jimmy Wright was a greyhound, he’d be a dodge. Three chances, three second places, including two beaten in photo finishes. (-£100). If Steve Anderson (-£100 – again!) was a greyhound, you would have him castrated. Possibly for re-homing or maybe just to buck his ideas up.
Meanwhile the unthinkable at SHEFFIELD. Carl Perry has had the odd blank night, but never alone. This morning Darren Driver and Glynn Dobbs are both celebrating £100 all-in bets on different 5-4 winners (2 x £125 profit). Carl . . . . you are the biggest loser (-£100)
SUNDERLAND
If we were handicapping on last Wednesday’s performance, Graham would be running off about 2 metres, Sam and George would be starting halfway around the first bend.
The views:
Sam Linley
Itsallaboutmary (R1 T1) This bitch let me down a couple of weeks ago when I tipped her but she has been improving since then post season and today she can put it right with a good exit. Leading or turning handy she has the race at her feet £50 win
Ryecroft Una (R4 T1) This bitch has a great draw due to the fact that the blue doesn’t drive the bends. Una should have the rail to herself and she runs the back straight very well. She is nearly 2 now and looks to be coming out of the boxes a lot more consistently than when she first started. Turning handy off the second bend she will power down the back and make all £40 win £10 double
George Stark
On Record (R2 T3) looks to be making her way up the handicap. She isn’t the most confident of bitches but a repeat of her recent trial could see her take this one £40 win
Witton Violet (R4 T4) This bitch looks like she has a pretty decent chance of taking this race tonight, she has been reining pretty consistent and is more than capable of winning this one! £30
Jays Whisp (R6 T6) she has been dropped in grade and could see her back in the winners enclosure. A fast break could soon see her take command of this affair. £30 win
Graham Strike
Itsallaboutmary (R1 T1) Improving every run after season looks well placed for a good run on fence £40 win
All Gone (R5 T1) Looks well placed to turn handy as not much early pace in race and will be too strong from halfway £60 win
YARMOUTH
No disasters on Monday, but Lee Calcutt currently looking a grade or two above the opposition. Maybe a bit of squad rotation shortly, so no slacking guys!

Two strong fancies for me tonight,first one being Jakes Magic (R5 T1). Erica Samuels’ dog holds a strong hand in this race sending out half the field and I think her best chance is with the dog in red. He’s a winning machine and has produced numerous sub 28 second runs. I think he will again tonight; he can rail into the lead off the second bend and from there shouldn’t be caught.
My next one is in the sprint, Bumblebee Adam (R11 T1) He’s been a costly dog to follow and is still waiting to open his account in this country. This looks a great opportunity to get off the mark. Ideally drawn in one, off a level break, I can see him pacing up to the corner, saving ground by railing tightly and going on to score. £100 double
Dave Prentice
Lee Calcutt
Jakes Magic (R5 T1) Arguably the best graded dog at Yarmouth, should make it to the bend and will take all the catching. Erica Samuels’ charge has been a credit to connections and can notch up another victory here.. £100 win
