Greyhound Derby 2022 Heats 11 - 21

Night two of the Derby and it's the turn of Pat Buckley to post 4 winners, emulating Patrick Janssens 24 hours earlier. Certainly a night for the Irish as they took 7 of the 11 heats contested tonight making it 12-9 in the English v Irish challenge.

The first two heats of the night were on a slightly quicker track rated +10, reverting to normal for heat 13 onwards.

Buckley gave an indication of what was to come when getting off to a great start in heat 11 courtesy of the William Murphy-owned Bobsleigh Dream.
