Best of luck to connections, but a big race 1-2 of two 4-y-o Peterborough graders? A supporting card without Lister, Jones, Clemenson, Mullins... Politics dictated Nottingham's Puppy Classic and Monmore's Gold Cup were not screened but, thankfully, more tempting offerings are upcoming. ——————————————————————————————————1/5—— Floyd Amphlett edits the Greyhound Star COLIN BROWN NEW TELETEXT TIPSTER 2 BETS SAT 1 FLAT 1 NH! p686/9 Results Tracktalk Comp Bookies

It costs £2 to take part and is a bit of fun in aid of retired greyhounds. The first prize is a trip for two to the 2004 William Hill Derby Final. Anybody fancying swotting up on form prior to the trials can find it at: www.wimbledonstadium.co.uk/auction. ——————————————————————————————————2/5—— Floyd Amphlett edits the Greyhound Star COLIN BROWN NEW TELETEXT TIPSTER 2 BETS SAT 1 FLAT 1 NH! p686/9 Results Tracktalk Comp Bookies

She had been retired after producing her final three pups 14 months ago. They were a Top Honcho repeat mating and the first litter also included Top Award and Top Delivery. Greaves said: "She was a house pet and it was a minor operation to extend her life. I'm absolutely choked." ——————————————————————————————————3/5—— Floyd Amphlett edits the Greyhound Star COLIN BROWN NEW TELETEXT TIPSTER 2 BETS SAT 1 FLAT 1 NH! p686/9 Results Tracktalk Comp Bookies

But racing percentages are down they say - to 1.6% per runner on horse racing (for BAGS, it's nearer 5%). However, if greyhound racing accounts for 24 per cent of turnover, doesn't that equate to £614m in the bank? So surely they can spare a measly few million for greyhound welfare! ——————————————————————————————————4/5—— Floyd Amphlett edits the Greyhound Star COLIN BROWN NEW TELETEXT TIPSTER 2 BETS SAT 1 FLAT 1 NH! p686/9 Results Tracktalk Comp Bookies

A precocious 18-month-old with four races on his card can find himself competing against a 23-month-old with 40 lines of form. Nottingham's Nathan Corden has now introduced some age amended races. The first two will be held on the 15th and 29th of September - restricted to 2002 whelps. Trainers, here is your chance to show a gap in the market. ——————————————————————————————————5/5—— Floyd Amphlett edits the Greyhound Star COLIN BROWN NEW TELETEXT TIPSTER 2 BETS SAT 1 FLAT 1 NH! p686/9 Results Tracktalk Comp Bookies
