The Group 1 English Derby was run and won on June 25. Read about the pedigrees of the finalists.

Lots of interesting pedigrees to look at from recent racing around the country and in New Zealand. Scofflaw (Mepunga Blazer-Mepunga Molly by Fernando Bale) took notice when he ran 29.39 at Sandown.

The son of Keybow-Let's Win Meisha by El Grand Senor equalled the track record for 350m set in the previous race by Orson Laurie and they now progress to the semi-finals of the $75,000 to the winner series next weekend.

Raw Ability was successful at Group 1 level in the Paws Of Thunder and Adelaide Cup and placed in the Warrnambool Cup. He also made the final of the Topgun, Melbourne Cup, Temlee, Australian Cup and Healesville Cup.

In greyhound breeding, like life, coincidences can be amazing. Take for instance recent race results around the country, like Zipping Maserati's win over Spring Patriot in the G3 The Brother Fox at Dubbo on Saturday night.

Keybow was a superstar on the racetrack winning a Perth Cup and Brisbane Cup at Group 1 level, but being placed in the Australian Cup, Melbourne Cup and Winter Cup also at Group 1.
