Cool Performance won the Derby 18 yrs ago. If I ever call a race as well as this I'll hang up my hat.
Sleep well, Dad. On this day, more than any, I will miss you.

Ireland will tonight claim win number 19 in the English Greyhound Derby…
Want to hear the story of the 18 that came before? I took the time to look back at them.

For the final time ahead of Saturday's decider, we spoke about those remaining in the English Greyhound Derby. My thanks to @plgbm. He's the foil to my ramblings. Less than 29 seconds remain and we saw the race differently. Enjoy! @TeamMatchbook
