Ballymac Brogan became the first greyhound to complete the Juvenile/Arc double when running away with the 2016 Calne Racing Arc final at Swindon.
The Seamus Cahill trained black trapped well from white, led up the red jacketed favourite Embers Fury and produced a magnificent display to pull away for a near seven length win over Queen Asia in 28.49.

The highlight of the undercard was another ‘consolation’ win for Domino Storm. Last year, she went out of the Arc in the semis but went faster than the final in a supporting open (28.34). This time around, she equalled the time recorded by the feature winner when beating Crossfield Molly by nearly five lengths.
