Ante-post prices for the weekend - 16 September 2026

Plenty of finals this week to enjoy spread across three nights. Prices from the sponsors for the Coral Puppy Cup and best prices for the others at time of writing. 

Coral Puppy Cup

Friday night at Romford will see the weekend kick off in style with the Coral Puppy Cup final. Darcys Dude has been on the sharp end of the market since before the start of the competition, producing the quickest of the semi-final times. A repeat of that will see him very hard to beat, though it is easy to argue a case for Carrigoon Cece who is the sole railer, which gives him a peach of a draw.

5/6 Darcys Dude

5/2 Carrigoon Cece

11/2 Jacquesinthebox

8/1 Westway Mario

14/1 Populist

20/1 Paradise Probono

Premier Greyhound Racing St Leger

There is a fascinating clash at Dunstall Park on Saturday night with Droopys Flare taking on her full-brother from the next litter, Zenith Pasha. They are in the two inside traps, with Pasha in red, producing a smart win when last in that starting position at Monmore. It is back-to-back finals for him to kick off his staying career but Droopys Flare is the best stayer in the country at present and can cement her position this weekend. 

3/10 Droopys Flare

7/2 Zenith Pasha

25/1 Malcolm Bosh, Radical Story, Venetian Mick

40/1 Lets Go Girl

Arena Racing Company Birmingham Cup

There was a surprise reverse for Woltemade in the semis of the Birmingham Cup when missing out by a short head to Signet Nayla. A slightly slower getaway didn't help his cause, but we all know what he is capable of when he times his exit to perfection. Betgoodwin Eddy was the fastest of the semi winners so it will be interesting to see if he can build on that effort at a bigger price.

1/1 Woltemade

4/1 Signet Nayla

9/2 Headford Cian

11/2 Betgoodwin Eddy

16/1 Droopys Alldeway

20/1 Tomahawk

BGBF Produce Stakes

Already a Cat One winner of a British Bred competition at Dunstall Park, Harton Whirlwind bids to double both his and Rose Draper's tally at Towcester on Sunday afternoon. He won that competition with some strong running displays but he seems to enjoy this traps at Towcester, pinging out in his semi to give his main market rival Keefill Teak a beating. Romeo Astron was runner-up to him at Dunstall, so he looks a worthy favourite for the final.  

11/10 Harton Whirlwind

10/3 Keefill Teak

9/2 Romeo Astron

10/1 Untold Dinero

12/1 Romeo Aran

16/1 Countess Penny

Elite Southern Supplies Northamptonshire Sprint

There are some smart sprinters in the country at present, with Magical Jason adding himself to the mix with a couple of smart wins so far in the Northamptonshire Sprint. There are very few miles on the clock and there should be better to come from him as he matures, having already got a 15.43 on his card which is the fourth fastest of the year to this point. 

4/6 Magical Jason

7/2 Newinn Souly

7/1 Ballinakill Liam, Toddys Wolf

22/1 Longacres Miss, Longacres Trixie
