Three fourths of the 2011 Orange Park Derby is in the books and Really Xtreme, Akeem, and La's Lucy share the top spot with 40 points each.
Advantage Xtreme as Lucy and Akeem have to run against each other in the Semi-Finals, which take place in the 9th and 11th race on the card for tonight.
The rest of the points are spread out a bit and if a longshot takes home the top spot in either round, he/she might still have a shot to make it into the elite eight for Saturday Evening at the Orange Park Kennel Club.
Tune in as 11 of the 16 contestants left in the stakes have won at least one round so far. These two races are going to be some knock down drag out affairs.

Orange Park Derby Round 2
The B & J Kennel has taken the track by storm in the Orange Park Derby. They are the only ones left with an undefeated greyhound, and they have two.
Paddy Wacker, whacked another field with his shillelagh and was 12 lenghts better than the competition. Ethel's Pick took her second straight one box and made the most of it as she posted up the quickest trip on the card in 37.34 seconds.
Other winners, 2 from DQ, La's Lucy and Akeem, both from off the pace, and two Afleet Alex pups from different litters. Really Gonnarock and Gs Tee Up both to the lead and both by about 6 lengths.
Action continues on Friday evening with 3 races in the quarterfinals.

Orange Park Derby Round 1
This weekend we had some great stakes racing action and the big names showed up too.
Paddy Whacker saved his best run over the distance for the 1st round of the stakes. His first 660 wins came in the quickest trip of the night. Watch out for him in the next couple of rounds. This stakes winner, has the skills and might have just found the desire again.
Really Xtreme looked sharp too after some rough trips over the 660 yard course. His big difference was his break. Once in front he stole a ton on the lead and survived at the wire for the win. Tough to say if he is looking short over the route, or if it was just a great run byu veteran La's Lucy in the stretch. Time will tell.
Kiowa Deli Dee still looks like the one to beat. She has not missed a beat since coming back to action and currently she has won 10 of her last 11 starts over 660, including that run of 8 straight. She is a machine on the lead and keeps breaking on top. She is going to be tough to beat in this stakes.
Other notes, naughty Lorna's Cannon too much playing around got her escorted out of the stakes rounds, and Dutch Buckeye fell in round 1, look for a him to seek revenge in this effort.
Round two tonight, tune in and watch.

This weekend is big for upcoming Derby.
There are 660 yards races o plenty this weekend at the OPKC and it looks like we will have a very deep field for the upcoming Derby.
Friday evening we have just one 660 but it's a doozy. Kiowa Deli Dee is back and she wants to start out a new streak after her 8 in a row was stopped. Super pup Really Xtreme needs to rebound after a couple of rough trips, this could be a classic.
Saturday night even more action. 2010 winner, Eds Budby is back, but in a sprint in the 7th, that won't last for long, races 9 and 11 are both 660's.
In 9 Kiowa Trent Tam looks to get back winning and should be challenged by recent additions Lorna's Cannon and Gs Tee Up.
Race 11 gets interesting as Kiowa Trent Tovi won by a mile last time out and looks to take it again over the tough new comer Dutch Buckeye and Really Gonnarock.
All of these and more will be happening this weekend, so tune in and see the fireworks at the Orange Park Kennel Club.
