BoyleSports Irish Greyhound Derby – Quarter final betting and outright update

Proper Heiress and Cheap Sandwiches produced one of the races of recent times in the third round of the BoyleSports Irish Greyhound Derby, you can read all about that – here.

Derek Frehill, Director of Racing for Greyhound Racing Ireland said this to the Leinster Express when talking about heat seven which saw Cheque For Cash beat De Lahdedah by two lengths: “Cheque For Cash is as genuine and consistent as they come. He always gives everything, and to deliver a performance like that in such a high-class heat is a real credit to him,”

The night as a whole was described as being "full of top-class performances" by a spokesperson for Greyhound Racing Ireland.

"Rising stars Unanimous Leo, Singalong Curly, and Ballymac Stud impressed, while UK challenger Proper Heiress produced a memorable victory in Heat 3, edging out Cheap Sandwiches in what many described as the race of the Derby so far.''

Following on from a thrilling night's action in the third-round, let’s take a look at the betting markets for outright honours and the individual quarter-finals that take place on Saturday, September 13.
