my late Father raised and trained greyhounds . when i was a small boy back in the sixties , Dad had been away for a week and i was told to go and meet him with the dog,s , crossed the first field OK , into the second field and the dogs seen Dad before i did , whoosh ........ result was a small boy got dragged accross the field at speed , poor Dad had to carry his case and me (in a bit of a mess) home to my Mother

Westmead Hawk won two Derbys ! Brett Lee the Aussie dog broke 7 different track records i think, there are many good greyhounds but few great ones. There is a dog in Ireland at the moment that is unbeaten called Milldean Panther...they reckon he is the nexxt superstar, i hope so the sport needs it at the moment.

I love to see top animals that are exceptions in their game.

Thanks for putting that one up John.

was brought up with Greyhounds my Father always had one during my School days, was my job to go to the track with him and bring the dog home etc,

[celtic]

I used to go to most of the tracks up here, Powderhall, wallyford, mount vernon, armidale, you used to always get a great crack at the dogs.

Hail Hail

[just ask me]

great thread lads some real great dogs and celtic you are right this Milldean Panther is a brut of a dog he looks unbeatable at the moment and breaking track records the best that has been in Ireland for a while :emoticon-0137-clapping:

The sport needs a shot in the arm and Panther could be it

I had a good *expletive removed* a few years ago. Merry Tale, bought her on dockside in Larne, caught the same ferry back. She came up through the grades at Poderhall winning more than her share. We also ran her at Shawfield but unfotunately she split a web and had to retire. The "DUGS" are great fun

 

"Expletive removed" translates to "Female dog"
