Johnson said: “I did a couple of marathons in the 1990s and until a few years ago I played a bit of football too. This is going be very, very tough but if people are going to donate their hard-earned I can’t have it easy!”

According to reports, Johnson will try to raise as huge as £100,000 for charity. Both the Retired Greyhound Trust and Help For Heroes will benefit if ever. It was said that he will try to run the John O’Groats to Lands End route for less than a month. He will be actually running more than 850 miles. He must be able to run about 30 miles a day to succeed.

Johnson said in addition: “I want to raise £100,000 which is a huge ask, but if all the dog people that I know are out there up and down the country just give a bit back we can make a real difference for both charities. We’ve always looked after our dogs when they stop racing and we want to promote and support the RGT. Last year a guy that used to work for me was injured badly in Afghanistan. Rob [Long] lost both his eyes and was standing next to his best friend who was killed in the blast. You hear it all the time on the news but when it happens to someone you know it really hammers home just what it means to a young life, and that was that. The run was on.”

Barefoot Bullet beaten fellow Tranquil Time at Wimbledon by almost four lengths. He recorded brilliant time of 28.51s. And he just really pleased the Irish-based trainer.

In a certain interview after delivering an upbeat bulletin on the performances of the two at Wimbledon the trainer actually said that, “They arrived back home at 7.30 this morning, and have taken their trip well. Barefoot Bullet is a very fast dog. He was impressive in a trial at Shawfield before the Scottish Derby, but then things went wrong next time and we had to bring him back. The Wimbledon trial was his first run since.”

Hills then decided to cut Barefoot Bullet’s Derby odds from 66 to 40-1. However, the trainer also expressed his faith on Tranquil Time, on what the Derby contender is indeed capable of doing at Wimbledon.

The Irish-based trainer actually said during the interview that, “Tranquil Time will trial again on Wednesday. He’s a nice dog, and should improve for last night’s spin.”

The trainer seemed to be confident about the potential of both his Derby contenders. For him, both have good chances on a great track win. But he must have felt as well that there is actually need to still work on the two, Barefoot Bullet and Tranquil Time. There are still some things that must be improved as far as the two are concerned and Hennessy must have felt this. The two could just become better Derby contenders with the attention of the Irish-based trainer. They could just have better chances on great track win of course.

Kinda Ready had a winter break with breeders Ian and Brenda Seymour. For some weeks, he rested and stayed away from the racetracks. He went on vacation right before Christmas but after the season went back to his trainer Mark Wallis, who then worked him out to be back in form.

However, Wallis didn’t find it easy to work on Kinda Ready because of the bad weather after Christmas. And now, though not really shaken by the pressure of competition, the famous trainer acknowledges that the event is not that far away and that his greyhound still needs to become undoubtedly fit.

“The Trainers’ Championship isn’t that far away and the dog needs six to eight weeks toget fit”, Wallis said.

But then Wallis realizes that Kinda Ready likes Monmore and running there will be good for him.

“He obviously likes Monmore, and it’s such a great track for a dog to run on. At this stage a sprint there is ideal for him”, Wallis said.

Yes, the event is not that far away and because of the bad weather after Christmas, Kinda Ready still needs to work out for weeks in order to get fit. But then the Derby winner will be good for sure. He will be fit with the guidance of Wallis. He will give everyone a good performance at the Trainers’ Championship.

But of course, there is no need to feel complacent. Though Wallis is a really good trainer and Kinda Ready is a champion greyhound, a rigid work out is still badly needed for the big event. The two will still have to go through a sort of a battle.

Oaks, is considered as the last Classic of the year. It has been a much awaited event. However, right now, it’s facing a great trouble because of being well oversubscribed. For the record, almost double the 48 entries were received by Wimbledon. Entire format of the event is now being looked at in the next year.

Just like the Derby, Oaks could be open to all entries or limited to 72 bitches. At this stage, the prize money is being re-evaluated in relation to the plan of turning the old competition to Irish Oaks.

One of the 48 bitches on record who will be running for the gold this week is Scottish-based Lochbo Meg.

Another which has been hitting the headlines is the battle of re-claim for Walthamstow Stadium. Possible bid for the land of a housing association is now unclear however other possible developers may be interested in the site.

Last August, the site was sold by the Chandler family. Then on, schemes of re-claim were set involving the land.

What he has shown at the Eclipse was not expected at all by many enthusiasts. Yet Wise Thought still remains at this very moment at any Derby portfolio.

What happened to Wise Thought? At Wimbledon he has shown potential. He has already run impressively. But why now, after all of a sudden Wise Thought has changed?

* * *

Other Bets

After change in performance by Wise Thought, many now believe that it’s time to consider other bets, other winners.

Others as Ballylea Honcho, Bubbly Totti, and Flying Winner are worth considering. Ballylea Honcho, who was mentioned here last week after a commendable Newcastle run, can justify all the promise and some with a game win in the six bend race. While Bubbly Totti, after showing great improvements has certainly more to show. And finally, Flying Winner, who won in a canter has a lot more to put on records.
