Race report

It took five rounds of action to narrow down the field to the final six greyhounds. Kinda Ready was the eventual winner, after picking up Fear Zafonic near the line. The rest of the field encountered crowding leaving the front two to battle it out. An April 2007 whelp, Kinda Ready was the youngest in the final, and was also the biggest price winner in the history of the Derby at Wimbledon. And biggest since 1975 at White City the previous home of the derby. This year also saw no Irish trained greyhounds in the final with last year's Irish Greyhound Derby winner Shelbourne Aston bowing out in the quarter-finals.
