RAPIDO GRACE – not a mark on this July 2021 bitch pups card a daughter of Sparta Maestro and Muchas Gracias a proven dam of top grade and open class types and of course produced the 2022 Grand National Champion Bobbing Knavatar. A pacey lady who has been showing all the right signs during the rearing and schooling process and is fully expected to turn into a nice type with experience under her belt.
RAPIDO MUSKATEER – stunning brindle pup who can only improve for experience. Weighed in at a strapping 77lb for his sole trial at Waterford where he recorded 1702. Lots to come from this August 2021 son of Rising Brandy and from the maiden litter of Groupie Diva who was unraced but from a family synonymous with open and competition class performers.
MAYBE LATER – not a mark on this September 2021 dog pups card he’s a son of the mighty Pestana and from the strong running performer Stuckeybawn who has already proven herself a producer of open class greyhounds having been responsible for the likes of Railteen Dara a multiple open race winner in Ireland and of course a finalist in the Sean Byrne Paint And Decorating Bitch Stake of 2022 which was won by one of the leading ladies of her generation Singalong Sally. This youngster is a real nice prospect.
YOUNG SHELDON – full brother to Maybe Later and very similar comments apply.
DROOPYS POACHER – not a mark on the card of this September 2021 son of Malachi and Droopys Meteor who was a strong running open class performer on the track and has every chance of passing on her talent to her offspring. Has really taken the eye during the rearing stages and looks one that will demand plenty of on the day attention in the sales ring.
DROOPYS TROOPER – August 2021 son of Dorotas Wildcat and Droopys Zero who competed in open class in Ireland and is now a well established brood responsible for the likes of 2021 Champion Bitch Stake Champion Skywalker Cilla amongst many other high class sorts. This lad is very well thought of and is another from the famous Droopys establishment who will attract plenty of envious eyes. May not come cheap but class never does.
LUMINOUS DELIGHT – unraced July 2021 daughter of Pestana and Ballymac Tam who has shown promise in 3 trials on Irish soil including a more than decent 2976 Kilkenny. The first 2 pups from the litter to have raced have got off to a brilliant start with Ballymac Tensel having completed a hattrick in mid grade at Swindon recently and looks to be heading right to the top of the tree whilst Eze is 2 from 2 in open class company at the same venue. A very promising litter and this lady looks one for both now on the track and for the breeding paddocks in the future.
HIGH BEAM HICKEY (RESERVE D) – unraced August 2021 bitch pup who recorded 3043 in a 7 length trial victory at Clonmel recently.
SPARTA HARRY – this July 2021 son of the strong running open class performer Sparta Rocky and Nannygracedog recorded 1739 Waterford in the sole trial on his card to date. Can only improve and given his bloodlines he will want much further in trip as he matures.
GLITZY ROXY – August 2021 daughter of Droopys Jet and from the maiden litter of the unraced Stocks The Diva who hails from the fabulous Blonde Returns dam line and is a daughter of the superstar Ballymac Tas who of course ran up in the 2019 English Greyhound Derby Final. Recorded a decent 3008 in her very first and so far only trial on her card around Shelbourne Park and has much more to come over the coming year.
GENEVA ECO – lightly raced August 2021 lady by Sparta Maestro out of Go Willow Go who showed promise when beaten just a length in 2985 Waterford recently. Has won a qualifying trial in 3042 by 3 lengths late in November and this pup looks like proving a useful addition to any graded kennel here in the UK.
GENEVA ALICIA – full sister to Alicia with just 2 races under her belt. Qualifying trial winner in 2997 around Waterford and again will prove a welcome addition to any graded kennel and will more than pay her way.
DRUMCROW SPIKE – unraced April 2021 bitch who posted 2956 Dundalk in her first trial over 4 bends. That’s a more than decent starting point for this daughter of Droopys Sydney and Drumcrow Blossom who always throws a high class of dog and bitch who usually end up competing in the higher grades and into open class. Promising lady who looks likely to attract a fair amount of on the day attention.
DRUMCROW ZAC – unraced April 2021 son of Malachi and Drumcrow Holly who recorded 1718 around Derry in the only trial so far on his card. Holly was a top grade winner at Dundalk and hails from the Blonde Returns dam line. Excellently reared and schooled and ready to progress quickly through the grades here in England.
RAPIDO BRANDY – not a single mark on the card of this August 2021 dog pups card. A member of the Rising Brandy x Groupie Diva litter he’s well thought of and is expected to win many races here in England for his new owners. On the day trial will be of interest.
RAPIDO KILLER – not a mark on this August 2021 pups card. A son of Sparta Maestro and Ela Chloe who is well proven as a producer of top grade and open class offspring. Has been showing all the right signs during his rearing and schooling and looks a nice type who will be well suited by any four bend trip here in England.
DROOPYS CHEESY – another from the famed Droopys establishment there isn’t a mark on this August 2021 lady’s card. A daughter of Dorotas Wildcat and Droopys Zero she’s fully expected to make into a really nice sort and looks sure to be worth a chance in the breeding paddocks in the years ahead.
DROOPYS SWEETIE – stunning black and white August 2021 bitch pup by Pestana out of Droopys Ant who had a stunning open race career on the track with 15 wins coming from just 21 races including a magnificent victory in the final of the FFK Sires Southern Oaks Final at Youghal in 2018. Ant has been throwing high class and open / competition class greyhounds in her litters to date with arguably the pick so far being Bubbly Bollinger winner of the RPGTV Derby Plate Final in 2021 and runner up in the Coral Romford Puppy Cup Final of 2020. Sweetie is one for now on the track and undoubtedly will be worth a chance in the breeding paddocks in the future.
EASY ZONE – unraced September 2021 dog pup without a mark on his card. By the superstar sire Droopys Sydney and out of Easy On a multiple UK open race winner and runner up in the Three Steps To Victory Final of 2020 at Sheffield. Since retiring from the track Easy On has had a litter to Pat C Sabbath and that litter are winning races for fun in the high grades and are still improving. This second litter to Sydney are rated much higher and are expected to produce open race winners. Zone is highly rated and a good on the day run is expected.
EASYPASODOBLE – once again not a mark on this lady’s card a August 2021 whelp from the Kinloch Brae Pasodoble litter. Not much to go off so the on the day trial will be of extreme interest.
LONG DIRECTION – April 2021 dog pup by Belles Direction and out of the maiden litter of Fiesta a high grade winner on the track at Kilkenny and from the Lemon Rita dam line. Just the 3 trials on the card and won the last of those by 7 lengths in 2960 at Kilkenny. Looks a strong running type who should be well suited by the tougher four bend tracks and might even stay further with age.
LOUGH BIDDY (ex – Fahee Bid) – stunning white and blue bitch with just 3 races on the card. Has been railing tightly and running on strong. This December 2020 daughter of Fahee Storm and Drumalee Premier should prove a valuable addition to any graded kennel with plenty of improvement yet to come.
BRICKS STORM (ex – Coolavanny City) – unraced July 2021 dog pup by Broadstrand Bono out of Coolavanny Royce a well proven producer of open and competition class greyhounds including the likes of Coolavanny Pet and Skywalker Rafa to name just two. Breeding doesn’t get much better than this and Storm has hit the ground running with a couple of promising trials including 2984 last time out at Clonmel. Weighing in at 81lb for that trial and this youngster will not be seen at his best for many months to come. Great chance for new connections to invest in a really well bred promising youngster who could yet be anything.
CAHIR TO WIN – October 2021 dog pup with real promise. Sired by Malachi and out of Cahir Rocket a top grade performer on the track in Ireland and closely related to many open class performers. Cahir To Win has just the 1 trial on the card and crossed the line in 1703 at Clonmel when beating off his sole rival by 2 lengths.
MADE YOU LOOK – this unraced brindle dog pup is just an October 2021 whelp and doesn’t have a mark on his card. That said the jungle drums have well and truly been beating about this Pestana x Lear Avajo litter for many months now. Avajo was an open class winner on the track in England and has produced some stunning open class pups already including Easy Warrior an 11 time open race winner here in England over both four and six bends. There will be plenty of suitors aiming envious eyes at this one who looks very likely to be burning up the UK circuits in the weeks and months to come.
SUPERIOR LIGHT – not one single mark on this September 2021 bitch pups card. Light is a daughter of the superstar stud dog Pestana and out of Sidarian Pearl and absolute superstar on the track with wins the big Night Of Stars Puppy race in 2015 followed by many other high class performances most notably when reaching the Irish Derby Final of 2016 and victory in the Gain Christmas Oaks later that year. Away from the track Pearl has been producing open and competition class greyhounds with regularity including the stunning Agent Stanley the multiple open race winner on Irish soil and of course a finalist in the Con and Annie Kirby Memorial Final of 2021. Superior Light is a must for those looking at purchasing a young bitch pup who has been reared and schooled to perfection at the famed Sean Conway School Of Excellence in the North Of Ireland. A top class track career beckons but there will immediately be one eye on the future where breeding will without doubt be on the agenda.
NEWINN QUEEN – unraced October 2021 bitch pup who is bred to be special. Sired by Out Of Range and out of Newinn Lisa an open class performer on the track in Ireland and closely related to a whole host of category one performers including full brother Chelms Tornado and the likes of Newinn Jacko , Liz and the superstar English Greyhound Derby Finalist of 2021 Newinn Session. Queen was faultless in the only trial on her card when beating off her sole rival by 2 ½ lengths in 1695 Clonmel and looks another for both the track in the shorter term and the breeding paddocks in the future.
STRICTLY BEN – Lovely looking September 2021 fawn bitch by Good News and out of Ballymac Hermina a daughter of the super brood Ballymac Scala. Ben has trialled moderately enough so far but will grade on nicely and has plenty of time to move through the grades.
DRUMCROW SOTO – another young pup with a totally blank canvass ready for new connections to get to work with. Sired by Drumcrow Obama and out of Drumcrow Pepper a full sister to one of the most consistent UK based open race greyhounds in training Drumcrow Brent (2021 Sussex Cup Champion). Soto is a stunning looking black and white greyhound whelped in May 2021 and has been reared and schooled with no expense spared which can only serve him well throughout his career.
DRUMCROW MAVERIK – full brother to Drumcrow Soto and very similar comments apply.
RAPIDO TEEJAY – A member of the August 2021 litter of Sparta Maestro and Ela Chloe has been showing great promise on the gallops at home and has transferred that to the schooling track. Excellent opportunity to become involved in a young greyhound without a mark on his card who should progress through the graded system here in England with ease.
RAPIDO MIKE – August 2021 son of Rising Brandy and Groupie Diva who looks all set to be winning plenty here in England. He’s not got an official mark on the card but has impressed connections with his attitude from the word go and. Schooling trials have backed up what had been seen in the previous months during rearing.
BURROW SPENCER – lightly raced March 2021 whelp with just 5 races under his belt. Has been showing rapid early pace but just struggling to get home at this stage of his career and being picked off late. Looks ideal for the tracks with a shorter four bend distance here in the UK with anything up to the Henlow trip of 460m looking perfect but would be well at home also around the likes of Romford , Crayford , Harlow etc. Will win plenty and arrives fit and ready to get the job done for new connections early.
BURROW OREO – December 2020 bitch who showed promise with a 2980 winning trial at Newbridge early in qualifying and the sole race on her card when well beaten behind a good 2896 winner can be written off as she lost all chance after first bend trouble.
DROOPYS MOOSE (RESERVE F) – September 2021 dog pup without a mark on his card by Flying Penske and out of the open and competition class producing dam Droopys Cuckoo. Cuckoo is the mother of the likes of Droopys Nextone amongst many other star performers. Rare opportunity to purchase a young greyhound with this breeding that has been reared and schooled by one of the leading teams around.
DROOPYS MCKENZIE (RESERVE E) – again not a mark on this November 2021 bitch’s card. By Broadstrand Bono and out of Droopys Saga the 2018 Munster Oaks Champion and with a 2808 on the card at Shelbourne Park. Saga is producing open class on the track and this is another superb opportunity to buy into a line that has high class track prospects before moving into the breeding paddocks further down the line.
ANGELA – November 2021 bitch pup who is a daughter of Jaytee Taylor and out of the top grade Shelbourne Park performer and extremely well related Me Penny. Bred for early pace this young bitch will be well suited to the sharper four bend circuits.
STERLING MAN – August 2021 son of Out Of Range and Ninja Penny an open class winner on the track both here in England and in Ireland and has been producing greyhounds of a high class in previous litters including Ninja Kerry an open class winner on both sides of the Irish sea and of course the winner of the category one Sussex Cup Final of 2022. A rare chance to buy into this type of breeding with all the hard work already complete.
POLLY CAME ALONG – lightly raced January 2021 bitch who has been catching the eye with some strong running performances from the back of the pack. Just a matter of time before she gets her head in front and is definitely one for the tough four bend circuits and maybe even further.
TARNAWA – early paced performer who pulled off an early back to back double last year at Waterford the second of which came when beating off her nearest rival by fully 5 lengths in a time of 2931. Nice type who will arrive with her new connections fit , ready and able to get the job done immediately.
MAYBE SPECIAL – promising sort he’s a unraced June 2021 son of Droopys Sydney and Millbank Jade who was a top grade performer on the track herself and a half sister to the fantastic Newinn Lester multiple top class open race winner and finalist in the 2019 running of the Irish Laurels. Special won the first trial of his life by fully 10 lengths in a promising 1812 Thurles very much marking him out as an above average type.
DERRIN STAR – not a mark on the card of this July 2021 daughter of Laughil Blake and Coolavanny Twist who counts the likes of Skywalker Rafa and Coolavanny Pet amongst her relations. Exceptionally well bred and full sister Ellabbie won at the first time of asking recently in 2906 Cork. Star is rated every bit as fast as her sister and looks set to be involved in keen on the day bidding.
SHES FAMISHED – lightly raced April 2021 full sister to Hes Ordinary detailed below and already a race winner in 2926 Waterford. Looks set to become a very valuable addition to any graded set up here in England.
HES ORDINARY – April 2021 son of Pestana and Shes Ordinary a top grade winner on the track and a half sister to Thorn Falcon the English Greyhound Derby Champion of 2021. Hes Ordinary is a wide running greyhound with 2 wins on the card the second of which came in 2907 at Enniscorthy. Real nice sort who should be competing in the high grades here in England where he should 9 times out of 10 receive his preferred trap 6 draw.
COLOURFUL DREAM – lightly raced early paced performer with a 2928 win on the card at Newbridge. Fit and ready to get straight into work here in England where she will win at high grade at just about any track.
