Fancave set to host an event at Towcester for the final three rounds of the Star Sports and TRC English Greyhound Derby.

Fancave are part of the Betcave concept, a group that were created 'by sports fans for sports fans.' They provide tipsters and influencers a sports betting platform that offers a community feel. The aim is to make betting more fun.

To this point they have been primarily a horse racing company, trying to provide the ultimate racing experience for customers and punters alike with insight from people within the sport and are dipping their toes into greyhound racing for the very first time starting this Saturday with the Derby quarter-finals.

Izzy Phillips (The Racing Moment) will host the show on Ladies Night at the Northamptonshire venue where she will be interviewing tipsters, trainers, owners and syndicate members from 5pm onwards then throughout the evening where she will be reacting to the action with people at the track.

Entertainment will be provided throughout the evening with a music DJ in-between Izzy interacting with the Towcester crowd and connections of the greyhounds.

Former Cheltenham Festival and Hennessy Gold Cup winning Jockey Mattie Batchelor will be hosting on semi-final night Saturday, June 7 with ex Premier league and England international Tony Cottee providing the entertainment on Derby Final Night a week later on Saturday, June 14.

Tom Mackerel (founder and CEO of Fancave) is looking forward to bringing his business to the greyhound industry. “We’re excited to bring our proven approach from horse racing to the world of greyhound racing. Our team has developed a successful framework that punters love, offering valuable insights and enhancing the experience throughout the day. It’s a fantastic opportunity for us to be part of the Greyhound Derby and to witness the world’s top greyhounds compete on such a prestigious stage”
