Palmerston Greyhounds 20th Jan A first for Greyhound racing?



The race was abandoned after a significant earthquake occurred just as the race was started and as a result the lure travelled a long distance ahead of the field and the track was moving significantly while the race was on and both matters would have affected the dogs performance.

Kennel news

Good to see Charlie win at Ascot Park Southland on New years eve. Now moved up to C4 so going the right way.

Pup news

All the pups had their first look at the drag lure today. Roughly about 150 metres up the straight. Happy to say they all chased obviously some a little harder than others. But for the first time they have ever seen a drag lure I am really pleased with them. Even the ones I feel are a little immature still chased all the way and then ran off with Tigger the soft toy with the squeaker in it!
They will be now put away for a couple of months or so and might hopefully get chance of a hunt when the hay paddock is cut next week!
