Lonergan expecting the autumn timing of Irish Derby to play role

DAMIEN LONERGAN is the man tasked with keeping Irish Greyhound Derby sponsor BoyleSports on the right side when it comes to pricing up the €125,000 event and thinks the later timing of this year's event could have an impact on the outcome.

After trapping fast to get prices out not just outright but for all 26 first round heats - which can be seen live on sisracing.tv on Friday and Saturday - he took time out to speak to Jonathan Kay, including weekend and competition fancies.
