Competition Report

The 2009 Irish Greyhound Derby champion College Causeway missed the competition after his owner decided to keep him at stud. [3] The 2010 Derby started with four leading contenders being eliminated in the first round. They included three 2009 finalists Faypoint Man, Shaneboy Lee and Belvedere Champ in addition to plus English Oaks winner Shaws Dilemma. [4]

Kinda Ready (the 2009 English Greyhound Derby champion) won for the second time in the competition during round three but the star of the round was Tyrur Big Mike setting a time of 29.42. Barefoot Bullet was successful in 29.68 but there was a shock as Champion Stakes winner Makeshift failed to make the quarter-finals. [4]

Tyrur Big Mike won again in the quarter-finals, recording 29.54, and litter brother Tyrur McGuigan continued to improve when winning again. The other heat winners were Ballymac Under and Tullymurry Act, but Kinda Ready was knocked out. [4]

The PJ Fahy-owned pair starred in the semifinals, with Tyrur Big Mike winning in a very fast 29.28 victory from Tullymurry Act and Easter Cup champion Thurlesbeg Joker, Mesedo Blue went out. The remaining semi went to Tyrur McGuigan in 29.63 from Barefoot Bullet and Krug Ninety Five with former Juvenile winner Ballymac Under failing to make the final. [4]

Tyrur Big Mike was a very short even-money favourite for the final and had only suffered one defeat so far, likewise his brother Tyrur McGuigan had only one loss. Tyrur McGuigan broke well out of the traps followed by his brother. Tyrur McGuigan continued to hold off Tyrur Big Mike and lost a couple of lengths attempting to pass. Tyrur McGuigan went on to win the race that the pair had dominated from start to finish although Krug Ninety Five ran on well. Tullymurry Act, who finished last, returned a positive drugs sample and forfeited any prize money. [4] [5]
