In the third round Lassa Java won in a fast 28.64 and I'm His recorded 28.72. The quarter-finals set up a repeat meeting between Ringa Hustle and Lassa Java and this time Ringa Hustle came out the winner but Greenane Squire set the fastest time of the competition so far in another quarter when beating Pall Mall Stakes champion Sullane Castle by over six lengths in 28.50 sec. The semi-finals drew both Tony Meek greyhounds against each other yet again but this time Ringa Hustle won comfortably in 28.67. In the second semi Greenane Squire recorded 28.82 from Sullane Castle and Ceader Mountain; favourite I'm His went out. By virtue of his latest two wins Greenane Squire was to be sent off 15-8 favourite in the final but it was the first time that he was to meet Ringa Hustle during the competition. Ringa Hustle broke well from trap three and led all of the way. Greenane Squire was impeded slightly at the first bend with Sullane Castle and could not get on terms with Ringa Hustle. Sullane Castle ran on strongly to take the runners up spot.National Greyhound Racing Club Calendar, July 1993 edition National Greyhound Racing Clubhttp://www.greyhoundderby.com/1993-greyhound_derby.htm 1993 Greyhound Derby Greyhound Derby.com Final result At Wimbledon (over 480 metres):http://www.greyhound-data.com/d?r=55 1993 Greyhound Data PositionName of GreyhoundBreedingTrapSPTimeTrainer1stRinga HustleMidnight Hustle - Ring U Back35-228.62 Tony Meek (Oxford) 2ndSullane CastleTapwatcher - Airhill Foam17-128.80Nigel Saunders (Belle Vue)3rdHypnotic StagGreenpark Fox - Sister Moonshine47-228.96John Coleman (Walthamstow)4thGreenane SquireManorville Major - Endless Game 215-8f28.99 Ernie Gaskin Sr. (Walthamstow)5thLassa JavaLassana Champ - Fawn Java57-229.02 Tony Meek (Oxford) 6thCeader MountainGreenpark Fox - Kelanig Kwik 650-129.08Ken Shearman (Private) Distances 2¼, 2, neck, neck, ¾ (lengths) The distances between the greyhounds are in finishing order and shown in lengths.
