Westmead Lord Derby Champion

"Lord" convincingly won the Blue Square English Derby for 2007 at Wimbledon on Saturday night past. All the papers have been written and read since but congratulations to all involved, particularly Nick Savva and his exceptional brood Mega Delight. The dog is young enough to have a fair chance of emulating his half brother by defending his crown next year.

The focus will move onto Shelbourne and the Paddy Power Irish Derby with the various trial stakes commencing around the country. Liffords 12 dog qualifier heats took place on Sunday with Farloe Black catching the eye. He was unlucky to be knocked out of the English equivalent and since he came under Fraser Blacks care he has regained his old form. He may go well at a fancy price.
