DERBY ENTRY SITTING AT 131 AND MORE TO COME
Ian Fortune
The question has been asked of this scribe many times in recent weeks, ‘how many will be in the Derby?.
And for many years the answer has been the same. What’s fit and available will be there. As we speak, after a Friday night update, the entry for this year’s BOYLE Sports Irish Greyhound Derby sits at 131 with more to come.
That’s a huge number and ensures a full card on Friday and Saturday night for the opening round. The entry includes 13 Trial Stakes winner, each of which have been confirmed as runners, while there are a couple more Trial Stakes this weekend.
There is also likely to be a few more entered after their weekend assignments, leaving the number over 140 and perhaps going beyond the 144 mark. The full list of the current entries is below, including a whopping 19 from Graham Holland as he seeks a scarcely believable sixth Irish Derby title, 12 from Liam Dowling, 8 from Michael O’Donobvan and 7 from Paul Hennessy.
