Pocero looks the one to beat in Derby Trial Stake

AFTER the opening round of both sixty four runner Derby and Oaks Trial Stakes on the opening day of Knockgraffon yesterday, it was very much a case of all to play.

Both stakes are extremely competitive with no greyhound standing out in either. However there were a few promising performances.

In the Derby Trial Stake Catuna Donie, Leigh Legend and Paco El Pocero caught the eye at the top of the card. Catuna Donie saw off Coshair Anton by a wide margin in his buckle while Leigh Legend looked good when getting the better of Clonaslee Boy by eight lengths. But perhaps the one to note most is Paco El Pocero, who impressed the clockmen when he had a big advantage over Golden Lad at the escape.
