Following the completion of the Listowel Derby Trial Stake for 2019 whelps, won by Off To Chicago (see photo) we have now reached the half way point (i.e 32) in the qualification process for the Derby 20 21. Sadly one greyhound which won’t be participating is the Newcastlewest qualifier from last season, Hes No Trouble. His place will be offered to the runner-up Ashmore Lotto.
The following is the allocation of trial stakes for 2019 whelps amongst Clubs. Clubs were invited in early August to indicate if they would be interested in running one or more trial stakes for 2019 whelps and this list was compiled from those submissions. Balbriggan are the latest club to receive an Oaks TS for 2019 whelps.
