2017 BoyleSports Irish Greyhound Derby Final
If ever a dog was well named it was Good News and he lived up to his title in truly majestic style as he captured the 2017 BoyleSports Irish Derby at Shelbourne Park on Saturday night.
This was a special performance on a very special night with Good News proving to be one of the greatest winners of our premier classic and it was secured virtually at traprise.
The Pat Guilfoyle trained son of Definate Opinion and Pippy absolutely flew from trap two while, crucially for him, the inside runner Hey Bound was slowly into stride. It meant that Good News had a solo run to the bend and he was pursued up by Black Farren with Buckos Dream, Jaytee Jet and Sonic disputing third.
Jaytee Jet was crowded entering the b end and he lost his position. Sonic was then forced wide on the bend but Good News raced into the back with a lead of two lengths over Black Farren and Sonic was soon back in third – but already facing a mountain to climb.
Black Farren, to his credit, ran an absolute stormer for his syndicate owners and challenged all the way to the line.
That mountain proved to be too much of a climb for Sonic on the night and Good News ran on to take the prize for owners Sandra Guilfoyle and Mary Kennedy by 2 lengths from Black Farren in 29.37 and it was another two lengths to Sonic in third.
Jaytee Jet came home four lengths fourth, followed in by Buckos Dream and Hey Bound.
As we said earlier this was a really special performance and proving it was the fact that this was the fastest Derby final winning time since the Derby moved to 550 yards back in 1986.

Greyhound Racing Dublin. During the European Radio-Days 2014 we spent a night @ Shelbourne Park Greyhound Stadium in Dublin. Nice.
Protestors attacked outside Shelbourne Park stadium
Three animal rights campaigners were attacked by greyhound racing supporters tonight at Shelbourne Park Stadium in Dublin” - Sickening video footage filmed by the National Animal Rights Association shows one protestor being pushed out onto the road while another can be heard screaming as she is grabbed by a man who pulls a megaphone from her.
NARA said in a statement that “Gardai were called and the victims will be pressing charges.
They say that the protestors, calling for a ban on cruel greyhound racing, were also subjected to non-stop racist and homophobic comments during the protest.
Please support your local protests,” NARA adds in its statement. “This industry needs to be shut down!
Shelbourne Park stadium is one of the worst in Ireland for dog injuries and deaths. At least 146 greyhounds suffered injuries and 36 were killed by a track vet there over the past four years alone, Irish Greyhound Board statistics show. This includes 41 injuries and 12 deaths last year.
As revealed by the recent RTE Investigates programme, 6,000 greyhounds are also shamefully killed nationwide every year because they are too slow to win races.
URGENT ACTION ALERT
Say NO to the cruel greyhound industry - don't attend greyhound races or fundraisers/hen parties/office parties held at greyhound tracks
STOP THE STATE FUNDING FOR GREYHOUND RACING
Since 2001, the Irish Government has paid out around a quarter of a billion euros of taxpayers' money to greyhound racing, including €16.8 million for 2019. Following the shocking RTE Investigates revelations about cruelty and killing, it is time for these grants to be finally ended. Not a single cent more of public funds should end up in this shameful industry. Contact Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe now.
