English Derby dates finalised

THE dates have been finalised for the English Derby at Nottingham, with the first round heats on Friday and Saturday, May 24 and 25, and the final on Saturday, June 22. This year, there will be a break of a week before the semi-finals and final, which makes good sense.

THE national coursing meeting concluded at Powerstown Park on Tuesday afternoon and one can only laud again the brilliant website provided by Browne Bookmakers (www.betbrowne.ie). You miss nothing with these guys!
