Bettor Dot Com backed off the boards at Hove
Bettor Dot Com continues his development tonight as he lines up in the third heat of the Coral Puppy Trophy at Hove (21.41).
His supporters were left with their fingers burnt following his unlucky exit from the Sussex Cup last week, where after breaking adequately, he ran a decent time of 30.16 seconds and only finished three lengths off the eventual winner Head Iton Ellis but it wasn’t enough to qualify in what is a high-class competition this year.
His admirable performance in that race, added to his impressive showings in his trial races before, has landed him with odds-on favouritism for tonight’s race which is a major step down in class.
With the prospect of appearing on the under-card on Sussex Cup finals night, which is covered live on Skysports, trainer Tony Lucas will be hoping for a solid run and a top-two finish so he can take his place in next week’s final.
It seems as though the talented pup has attracted the attention of plenty of punters so far today, with his odds shortening from 2.30 into a solid 1.40 shot, he is without doubt the best-backed greyhound on Hove’s entire card this evening.
