First of all decide on the type of bet you want to make (see below options) and then pick the dog number(s) that you are going to bet on.
Pick one dog to win. If your greyhound wins, you win! Ask for Stake –WIN –TRAP NUMBER, e.g €1.00 – WIN – TRAP 3
MINIMUM BET - €1
Pick one dog to finish in either first or second place. You collect on the bet if the dog finishes in either first or second place. Ask for Stake – PLACE – TRAP NUMBER, e.g €1.00 – PLACE – TRAP 6
MINIMUM BET - €1
This is a win bet plus a place bet on one greyhound. Your selected dog must come either first or second to claim any winnings on this bet. If your dog wins you will collect on the win bet plus the place bet. If the dog comes second you will receive the place dividend only.
Ask for Stake – EACH WAY – TRAP NUMBER, e.g €1.00 – EACH WAY – TRAP 2
MINIMUM BET - €2
Pick two dogs to finish first and second and the dogs must finish in the correct order that you choose.
T1 A0 AA0 Pacey tracker. Hampered to the turn last week. far better drawn in this contest 12-1
T2 A0 AA0 Easter Cup champion. Likely to go up fast and a possible pace-setter. Claims 3-1 T3 AA0 AA0 Powerful galloper. Will attempt to get on the rail early. Overdue a little luck 8-1
T4 AA0 AA0 Capable tracker. Moves well throughout but needs to be at his sharpest here 20-1
T5 AA0 AA0 Top class individual. Overcame bad traffic to qualify Sept 13. The one to beat 4-5
T6 AA0 AA0 Speedy sort. Certain to have room to race in the early stages. One to consider 7-2 Win/Place:5 Selections Reverse Forecast: 5-6 Trio Always: 5-6-2

T1 AA0
Total Prizefund €17,590
Fast starter. Running well at present but facing a tough task. Needs a little luck
AA0 A rare prospect with stunning pace. If trapping on terms he can emerge on top 4-6
A0 AA0 Speedy type. Noted edging right at the start in recent outings. Needs to dictate 20-1
AA0 AA0 Powerful tracker. Found his trapping boots lately but must avoid T3 to the turn 11-4 T5 A0 AA0 Leger third. Likely to finish well but can he turn close enough to threaten here? 12-1
T6
Top performer with a big engine. Emerged an easy winner Sept 13. One to note 9-2
