Eden Star is withdrawn from Greyhound Derby

 

EDEN STAR, as short as 9-1 fourth-favourite for the williamhill.com Derby, tore a shoulder muscle during his first-round heat victory on Saturday, and has been withdrawn from the competition.
Trainer Barrie Draper said: "I've just come back from the vet's, and the advice is to leave him off for four to six weeks.I don't take chances with my dogs. It's just one of those things. I'm gutted."
Eden Star, winner of the Racing Post Juvenile Championship in
February, had been set to lock horns with defending champion Taylors Sky in round two on Friday.

WILLIAM HILL GREYHOUND DERBY BETTING – SECOND ROUND HEATS PLUS REVISED ANTE-POST

**With the much-anticipated clash between Eden Star and Taylors Sky now unfortunately not taking place, the sponsorsrevised the williamhill.com Greyhound Derby second round fourth-heat betting, where the defending champion is 3-10 favourite to score on Friday night.

An extended revised ante-post list is shown below, where Razldazl Jayfkay is now 5-1 market leader. Dolores Ruth’s charge will star on Saturday evening and is hot 1-2 favourite to land his respective heat.

Charlie Lister’s Boher Paddy tops a competitive heat 15 on Saturday at 11-10, and will face-off against kennelmate Silverview Perky (5-2) and the Mark Wallis-trained Blonde Snapper (10-3).

Saturday night will be crowned off when Bubbly Phoenix, who posted the fastest first-round time, takes on fellow round one winners Mill Bling Bling and Jaytee Pedro in the finale - and is 10-11 market leader to close the evening off with another victory for the Champagne Syndicate.

 William Hill's Lucy Rhodes said “It’s a real shame that Eden Star won’t take his williamhill.com Greyhound Derby bid further, but the show must go on and there’s still some stellar challengers in the mix queuing up in an attempt to de-throne Taylors Sky”

The first three from each heat will qualify to the next round on 12^th May – which will be shown LIVE on Sky Sports.

As a gesture of goodwill, Eden Star will now be included in the first round free bet promotion, where all Hills customers who placed bets on the non-runner after the entry stage on Thursday will receive a refund.*
