Scottish Derby cancelled - no sponsorThis is in todays Racing Post.What a shame. Sam Poots BOAs trainer says it is a "disaster" for the sport. I cannot help but agree.

Is it back on now? I read today on the RP site that BOA was going to withdraw from the Arc on account of prepping for the Scottish and English Derby?

Youre winding me up jessica  The Scottish Derby falls on April the first.... A Tuesday... i just hope it isnt on Sky or i will make a fool of myself twice in one day. 
No news about a sponsor on the NGRC site, im guessing one of the big bookies will step in, or even Betfair. Talking of whom, have you seen the Betfair dog section ? http://betting.betfair.com/greyho...-derby-betting-piecei-211207.html |

I hadn't seen that Alan so many thanks 
I think I saw a headline about the Scottish Derby a week or so ago saying that there might be a sponsor but not deffo so I didn't read it at all  Actually, I am a bit out of touch with everything at the mo (d'ya think it showed last time out  )!

I've trawled the Internet and it would seem it is ON
with a mystery sponsor! Good. |

Good guess FF! I think we should run a poll - any other ideas?! |

I've just missed one question on "How Yorkshire are you?" on Facebook. I couldn't tell a whippit from a greyhound!  I should probably keep away from this section - no more guesses from me!

Whippet/Schmippet!
Don't go FF, we need all the friends we can get around here... I've been trying to think up some other mystery sponsors I can only come up with Blue Square because if BOA does win the Scottish and then go on to their Wimbledon sponsored comp it would create a lot of interest (maybe)
