Holland big guns put in short for Friday Derby tests by sponsor
THE Graham Holland-trained BOYLE Sports Irish Derby powerhouses of defending champion Bockos Diamond, Bombay Pat and Cheap Sandwiches are all odds-on with the sponsor for their first round engagements at Shelbourne Park on Friday.
The sponsor has been quick up with heat betting and there might be some surprise in UK greyhound circles that multiple Category One winner Proper Heiress is second favourite for his heat seven assignment against Shelbourne Champion 550 winner Ballinabola Joe.
