As we progress into the third round of the English Derby at Towcester on Saturday night, the Matthews Family have four runners.
1) Undulation 7.48 Trap 2 Heat 6 5/2
2) As I say 7.48pm Trap 3 Heat 6 12/1
3) Savanna Hero 6.50pm Trap 6 Heat 3 12/1
4) Burj Khalifa 8.05pm Trap 6 Heat 7 14/1
After a game performance from all 4 greyhounds last week finishing second in their respective heats, the Team in Townview are quietly confident of big runs from their contingent, irrespective of their odds. Brendan ‘The Maestro’ Matthews is renowned for beating the bookies and we wish them the best of luck this Saturday as they make the journey from Newry to Towcester.
