The Coventry Emerald Cup ...

...didn't prove to be a winner for me as Eye Onthe Veto won it in good style.

It was a 5 dog race with Iceman Ross in 2nd place and my selection Droopys Wells managing only 3rd place.

I was already in deficit by 6 points and my 5 point win bet on Droopys Wells put me into an 11 point loss on the Emerald Cup.

There was one redeeming thing I can point to, though, and that is one of my selections on the run-up to this contest: Minnies Premier, happened to be running in an Invitation Race on the same evening as the Emerald Cup. I put two points on it and it won at 5/2. So I got a little of my cash back; which wasn't so bad!

I am impressed by the recent form of Eye Onthe Veto and I am beginning to think that it could be a good ante-post bet for the Greyhound Derby at around 50/1...

I'll probably put a 1 point ew bet on it to add to the 2 others I have bet(Temple Lad and Amarillo Slim - although, now, I am not sure Amarillo Slim will run).

Eye Onthe Veto looks good value.

I haven't got anything going on the greyhound front for the moment. I'll probably get something going after the Cheltenham National Hunt Festival which is a horse race meeting I enjoy. For now...

Come racing!!
