Garryvoe Joe has caught the eye over the last few weeks for trainer Graham Holland. This son of Dorotas Wildcat – Jalingo has just six career starts on his card so the future is looking bright.

He won the opening heat by a short head to the speedy Bobsleigh Dream in 29.68. Garryvoe 6/1 from 14/1 and Bobsleigh is 8/1 from 10/1 in the betting.

WHEN AND WHERE IS THE 2022 BOYLESPORTS IRISH GREYHOUND DERBY FINAL?

Ballymac Joey was the winner in heat three in 29.62 for trainer Liam Dowling beating his kennelmate Ballymac Ben by two and a half lengths. This son of Ballymac Bolger is now 12/1 from 33/1 with Ben 14/1 from 20/1.

Emilys Jet was in impressive winner of heat two for trainer Peter Cronin in 29.74 and is 14/1 from 33/1 to win the title.

Sarah Kinsella, spokesperson for BoyleSports, said: “We are down the semi-final stage of the Michael Fortune Memorial Derby Plate with Kildare our new favourite.

“We cut him into 11/4 from 5/1 after his quarterfinal victory and looks to be coming into his top form at the right time.

“Garryvoe Joe looks an exciting prospect for Graham Holland with his chances cut into 6/1 from 14/1.”
