Sam Craigie just lost a re-spot in a decider like this!
🤢🤢🤢🤢
Zhao Xintong stays alive in Nanjing. Just.
Job done. Great dog for Andy and Tim.
Sure Exile is very interesting stepping up
to 575 yards @shelbournepark tonight. He flew into the escape in the Laurels final.
All eyes on the 1XBet Irish St Leger @LimkGreyhound tonight it looks like an outstanding event this year.

Here’s the moment Fallon Sherrock beat Luke Littler, denying him his target of 20 wins in a row. 🎯
Fallon wins £501,000 for beating Luke. 💷
Littler managed to win 14 legs in a row before finally getting beat by Sherrock.
It does feel a bit unfair though, Netflix heavily advertised this as an amateur event for everyday players, yet a recognised professional like Sherrock gets let in and ends up winning the money.
Shame we didn’t get to see 15-year-old number one seed Mitchell Lawrie get his shot at Luke.

Fallon Sherrock has BEATEN Luke Littler to take home an astonishing £501k!
The Queen of the Palace makes more history!

Do the people working in the betting shops purposely turn down the volume so you can’t hear the racing?

A massive thank you to the Lynch family for bringing a wonderful piece of our sporting history along to the @BAR1Betting Irish Laurels Final on Saturday night.
The 1951 Laurels trophy won by Knockrour Favourite in the old Western Road.
Andy Lynch chatted to Barry @Drakesport about a massive win for his dad Jack and the honour of being part of the Laurels history, and also recalls his brother's great success with Knockrour Girl and Knockrour Slave from 1978 - 1980.
The Lynchs were back in the Laurels Final on Saturday night and while it wasn't to be on the night, well done to all involved on their achievements.
