BALLYMAC BAILEY – proven open class performer who will arrive in the UK fit and ready to get straight into work with the form well and truly in the book. This lad has a touch of everything great early pace , middle and stays the trip well as highlighted when winning over 575 yards late in December in 3104. Ideal for a variety of trips but looks one that could possibly excel over the likes of Romford’s 575m course where he will have plenty of options over the coming year. Sure to attract plenty of attention from those looking to add a versatile open class performer to their kennel.
BALLYMAC BAR – lightly raced April 2021 son of Ballymac Bolger and Motorbar Abilgail who showed toughness to go alongside his natural ability early in December around Shelbourne Park to overcome a non unsubstantial first bend bump to eventually come through late and pulling away to win in a more than decent 2883. Has since recorded 2853 around the same venue which is a run only pups of the highest class manage to clock. Mother Motorbar Abilgail has already produced the likes of Antigua Princess the 2020 English Oaks and 2021 Juvenile Champion. This lad looks sure to prove a solid and versatile competition greyhound for his new connections.
BALLYMAC FETA – lovely looking November 2021 bitch pup who won’t be seen anywhere near her best for a long time to come yet but still managed to record 2978 in the only trial on her card to date around Tralee. Given her age that has to go down as an extremely promising effort from this daughter of Ballymac Runner and Ballymac Breeze who of course has already well proven herself as a producer of the very highest class of greyhound with the likes of superstar Ballymac Wild amongst her famed offspring. This young lady looks destined to have a top class track career but there would already be an eye on her undoubted brood potential in the years to come.
BALLYMAC YAX – where this pup will end up is absolutely anybody’s guess but his potential is clear to see. Only pups of immense promise manage to do what this November 2021 son of Ballymac Cashout and Ballymac Minton did when recording a sensational 2936 on his first and so far only trial on the card around Tralee. A stunning blue pup many greyhounds hailing from the Ballymac set up have started life off much slower than this lad and have gone on to have open and competition class careers of the very highest standard. Reared and schooled to perfection there will be many eyes on securing a pup of this quality especially with the superb puppy calendar in the UK throughout 2023 where he will be eligible for events throughout the year.
BOXING BUDDIES – strapping 84lb son of Droopys Sydney and Playmistyforme who got his career up and running with a game come from behind victory at Cork recently when landing a competitive A5 race in 2932.

Mother is a full sister to the fabulous Roxholme Hat and has already proven herself as a producer of some decent winners in previous litters.
BAYONET CHARGE – stunning white and black son of Ballymac Bolger and Sing Dixie who won for the second time in his short career to date at Shelbourne Park recently in a highly promising 2914. Mother Dixie is a well proven producer of open class and this lad is very much heading in that direction.

Bill has recorded 2925 and 2914 in his last 2 trials around Shelbourne Park and looks a really promising sort who should start life off in the high grades with an open class career very much a possibility with many months of natural improvement still to come.
GLENVALE TIM – another unraced member of the September 2021 litter of Premier Fantasy and Mays Priceless and though he is behind his litter brother ‘Sven’ on the clock at this stage it would be no surprise to see him taking huge leaps forward on his most recent Shelbourne Park trial clock of 2962. Superbly reared and looks sure to be winning plenty here in the UK in the weeks and months to come.
GLENGAR GLOBAL – an unraced July 2021 bitch pup with huge potential. Weighing in for just the second trial of her life at a mammoth 74lb this young lady will have no trouble at all holding her own against larger dogs and showed she has the pace to match her size with an eye-catching 2932 effort in that aforementioned trial at Tralee. One that falls very firmly into the ‘could be anything’ category this daughter of Droopys Sydney and Bobsleigh Dream will attract plenty of attention.
JACKTAVERN BLACK – Unraced June 2021 son of Newinn Taylor and Skywalker Pearl weighed in at 79lb for his last trial at Cork and put in a stunning performance to record 2901 marking him out as an above average greyhound who should prove a very welcome addition to any kennel in the land.

Very talented pup with his whole career yet to come.

After taking up the running rounding the final turn she pulled further and further clear with the winning distance of 4 ½ lengths doubled by the time she reached the pick up. Looks all set to develop into an open race staying performer and no doubt at all looks one for the breeding paddocks in the future.

Looks destined for a highly successful track career before a brood career looks a distinct possibility.

Showcasing a huge amount of early pace in each of his victories this powerhouse son of Laughil Blake and Zaconey Belle put up a personal best performance of 2876 last time out at Newbridge and never looking in any danger after an explosive start from the traps.
