2011 WORLD SLASHER CUP-2 8-COCK DERBY
It’s record-breaking time again as the much-awaited 2011 World Slasher Cup 8-Cock Invitational Derby
Hosted by the Pintakasi of Champions and presented by Bmeg Derby Ace with Thunderbird Enertone as major sponsor, this mid-year event is expected to be a toss-up among the solo champions of the last four World Slasher Cup stagings. These are January 2011 champ Patrick Antonio; June 2010 winner Atty. Art de Castro & Eddie Aparri; January 2010 victor Engr. Sonnie Magtibay who bagged the title just 52 days after he won the 2009 Bakbakan 10-Stag National Derby and May 2009 top bet Marcel Julao.
Locking horns today starting at ten in the morning are some 100 competitors belonging to the first batch of entries for their 2-cock eliminations with each other fighting to gain early important points before the semis. The second set of participants tries to outclass each other tomorrow June 7 for their 2-cock preliminaries. The 2-cock semis for Group A is on June 8, while Group B meet on June 9. The 4-cock finals for Group A is on June 11 and the ultimate event is on June 12 for the Group B finalists.
During the last five years, the World Slashers Cup’s number of entries has constantly increased, boosted by the active participation of foreign-based Pinoys and OFW-cockers who, despite their being abroad, have been operating and maintaining their respective gamefowl breeding farms in the Philppines. The January 2009 Slashers edition was actually ruled by three foreign-based Pinoys… Rolly Gabon and his Chicago “gang” (MJRG); Rodel Costalles (Spoiled sa Amo) and Jorge Torres of California
