2017 BoyleSports Irish Greyhound Derby Final
If ever a dog was well named it was Good News and he lived up to his title in truly majestic style as he captured the 2017 BoyleSports Irish Derby at Shelbourne Park on Saturday night.
This was a special performance on a very special night with Good News proving to be one of the greatest winners of our premier classic and it was secured virtually at traprise.
The Pat Guilfoyle trained son of Definate Opinion and Pippy absolutely flew from trap two while, crucially for him, the inside runner Hey Bound was slowly into stride. It meant that Good News had a solo run to the bend and he was pursued up by Black Farren with Buckos Dream, Jaytee Jet and Sonic disputing third.
Jaytee Jet was crowded entering the b end and he lost his position. Sonic was then forced wide on the bend but Good News raced into the back with a lead of two lengths over Black Farren and Sonic was soon back in third – but already facing a mountain to climb.
Black Farren, to his credit, ran an absolute stormer for his syndicate owners and challenged all the way to the line.
That mountain proved to be too much of a climb for Sonic on the night and Good News ran on to take the prize for owners Sandra Guilfoyle and Mary Kennedy by 2 lengths from Black Farren in 29.37 and it was another two lengths to Sonic in third.
Jaytee Jet came home four lengths fourth, followed in by Buckos Dream and Hey Bound.
As we said earlier this was a really special performance and proving it was the fact that this was the fastest Derby final winning time since the Derby moved to 550 yards back in 1986.

Greyhounds racing, Belle Vue Greyhound Stadium, Manchester, England, United Kingdom
Belle Vue Stadium is a greyhound racing track in Belle Vue, Manchester, where the very first race around an oval track in Britain was held on 24 July 1926. It is also used for speedway as the home ground of Elite League team Belle Vue Aces since 1988 and since 1999 has British Stock Car Association (BriSCA), the British governing body for stock car racing and banger racing. The stadium holds a number of BriSCA events and has become one of the most popular venues in the North-West of England. The track has always been the property of Greyhound Racing Association Ltd. (GRA), which has invested heavily in it right through to the current day. The stadium offers luxury glass-fronted grandstands, restaurant, hospitality boxes, and several bars. Greyhound racing takes place on Friday and Saturday evenings. In 1925 Charles A. Munn, an American businessman, made a deal with Smith and Sawyer for the rights to promote the greyhound racing in Britain. Although the earlier attempt to introduce mechanical racing at Hendon had almost been forgotten, the pastime of coursing was as strong as ever in Britain. Fortunately for Munn, the first person he contacted with regards to reintroducing greyhound racing into Britain was Major L. Lyne Dixson. The Major was a leading figure in British field sports and was quickly won over to the idea presented to him by the American entrepreneur. Finding other supporters proved to rather difficult however. With the General Strike of 1926 looming, the two men scoured the country in an attempt to find others who would join them. Eventually they met Brigadier-General Alfred Critchley, who in turn introduced them to Sir William Gentle JP. Between them they raised £22,000 and formed the Greyhound Racing Association Ltd. When deciding where to situate their new stadium, Manchester was considered to be the ideal place because of its sporting and gambling links. Close to the city centre, the consortium erected the first custom-built greyhound stadium and called it Belle Vue, where the very first race around an oval track in Britain was held on 24 July 1926. More than 1,700 people were attracted to the meeting where they watched a greyhound called Mistley win over 440 yards (402 m). By June 1927, the stadium was attracting almost 70,000 visitors a week. Six races with seven dogs in each race were held in the first meeting. Fifty years later a stand was named after Mistley, the winner of the first race. Running the quarter-mile flat course in 25 seconds, Mistley romped home eight lengths clear at 6–1. Belle Vue increased the number of runners per race to seven, but after the formation of the NGRC in 1928 the maximum number of dogs per race was limited to six. Since 2007 protests have been held against greyhound racing at Belle Vue. Greyhound Action, an animal rights organisation which campaigned for an end to greyhound racing, held weekly protests outside the races each Saturday and occasionally on Fridays. In 2010 The Belle Vue Greyhound Action Group also organized and held a series of demonstrations to protest at the entertainer Dara O'Briain's participation in greyhound racing. Campaigners at Belle Vue got an article published in the Irish press about O'Briain's greyhound, Snip Nua, which it is believed was the first ever in the Irish press to state that racing greyhounds are killed for economic reasons. In 2008 the Sunday Times revealed that Belle Vue dogs were being sent for research at Liverpool vets school by trainer Richard Fielding. Further instances of injury were highlighted in 2014, when a trial session was halted after several dogs sustained serious injuries and one death. In 2010 concerns were raised about the high injury rates at Belle Vue. Since Greyhound Action disbanded in 2011, the protests have been held by a protest group who call themselves Shut down Belle Vue. A 2012 article in the Sunday Express also called the kennels of two Belle Vue trainers, Beverly Heaton and Nigel Saunders, disgusting. The article alleged that dogs were kept in cramped dilapidated kennels without heating and in some cases doors and that faeces and urine had not been adequately removed. A greyhound protection group, Greytexploitations, provided video footage to substantiate allegations of the poor conditions, these included the image of a Greyhound skull on a dog waste heap. In January 2014 Caged North West held a protest demo at Manchester's Deansgate Hilton hotel against the Greyhound Board of Great Britain's awards night. Around 400 protesters attended the demo but despite this the event failed to be mentioned by the media. CAGED NW publicized the event. In July 2014 CAGED NW and other greyhound protection groups held a remembrance event in Manchester's Piccadilly Gardens, held on the 88th anniversary of the opening of Belle Vue. The event featured a service by a church minister and a fly past by a light aircraft carrying a banner displaying the words YOU BET THEY DIE.

As they did seven days earlier, both Lenson Bocko and Magical Bale laid down a marker in the quarter finals of the Boylesports Derby at Shelbourne Park on Saturday night.
Lenson Bocko was aiming to become the first greyhound in the competition to retain favouritism and he did so in some style, while Magical Bale also won with real efficiency. Not to be outdone, Murts Boher also won for the second week running and Sophies Man produced a career best effort to emerge a deserving winner of his heat.

How Coursing Helps Hares
Did you know that hare density is 18 times higher in coursing areas than in non-coursing areas? That's the conclusion of research by Queen's University, Belfast. Coursing may be banned in the UK but it's alive and well in Ireland. They even print the results from coursing meetings in the national papers in Ireland. Charlie Jacoby joins the English who come across for their own coursing stakes at a meeting in Kilkenny, and finds out how coursing is helping the hare back from the brink in Ireland. Repeal of the Hunting Act would do the same in England and Wales... but that would require a politician to do something for the greater good.
▶ For the English National Coursing Club, visit
▶ In Ireland, where this was filmed, there are 18 times more hares in Irish Coursing Club-managed areas than ordinary farmland
▶ Irish Times article about how coursing is good for hares:
