The 2021 Star Sports Greyhound Derby took place during June and July 2021, with the final held on 10 July 2021 at Towcester Greyhound Stadium.[1][2]
It was the third time that the event was held at Towcester after previously being run there in 2017 and 2018. The event was sponsored by Star Sports and TRC Events and the winners prize has been increased dramatically from £50,000 at Nottingham the previous year to £175,000. The dates of the competition were as follows - first round 4 & 5 June, second round 11 & 12 June, third round 19 June, quarter finals 26 June, semi finals 3 July.[3]
In the very early March ante post betting three greyhounds were quoted at 20–1. Irish pair Knockaboul Syd (the Easter Cup champion), Native Maestro and 2020 UK newcomer of the year Tenpin.[4] On the closing date of 26 May there were 188 entries, with the 2020 Derby favourite Newinn Session heading the betting again at 14–1. The Irish entry (looking for a third successive victory) was extremely strong. Other major names to look out for were defending champion Deerjet Sydney, 2019 Irish Derby champion Lenson Bocko and Kilara Lion.
Thorn Falcon won the Derby for Belgian born Patrick Janssens, thwarting an Irish attempt at a third consecutive success.[5] The greyhound was owned by The Dragons and A Lion Syndicate and bred by Joe Devlin.
