Double Diamond

BOCKOS DIAMOND (9.15) can become just the second greyhound in the almost 100-year history of the sport to win both the Irish and English Greyhound Derbys by winning the Star Sports/TRC-sponsored £175,000-to-the-winner Classic at Towcester tonight, live on SIS and Gone To the Dogs - Live!

Only Toms The Best for the legendary Nick Savva at Shelbourne Park in 1997 and Wimbledon Stadium in 1998 has completed the famous double but Graham Holland's Irish superstar stands on the verge of joining that exclusive roll of honour in front of a packed Northamptonshire venue tonight.

Gates open at 10am for a family fun day and live music - Bjorn Again are the headline act - before the first race at 5.44pm with a star-studded card building up to the world’s greatest greyhound race.
