Sittingbourne GM Keith Hougham was delighted by the greyhound sale held at the stadium on Wednesday.
He said: “We probably gained 15 or 16 dogs for our local graded strength which is always welcome. Apart from the top lots there were quite a few dogs in the £500-£600 region who could be anything.”
Top lot was Droopys Urban who went to Frank Gray after winning his trial in 29.56; he made 4,700gns.
Droopys Arma was sold for 3,200gns and joined Tony Collett while Local Kid clocked the fastest time of the day and went for 2,200gns.
Sales promoter Brian Harrison said: “The crowd was poor but we turned over around £27K which wasn’t too bad. 23 of the 40 dogs sold. Overall, it was probably the best value sale I have ever had at a sale.
“Local Kid won in 29.16 at Kilkenny on Friday, did a great run first time around the track and was only just over two grand.”
