MONDAY THE 11TH OF NOVEMBER
We are doing Mondays journal all the way to Thursdays journal on Thursday evening
I day tripped England on Monday for more supplies all ready for the Christmas it was a long day and the traffic was good. At the kennels the whole day was took up with preparing hounds for schooling. On this weeks greyhound star British performance of the week we have one hound on the list Swift Depot , I have copied the article about Swift Depot from the greyhound star and put it below
Was last Monday’s win by Swift Depot the greatest graded win ever at Yarmouth? Only two dogs have gone faster than Depot’s 27.20, the joint track record holders, Fear Zafonic and King Elvis. The only other runner to equal it, was the former McNair star Leamaneigh Turbo. But the form was stamped by the runner-up Chelms Bob, a dog with recent 27.93 and 27.66 A1 wins, being beaten a head bob short of nine lengths. It was 364 days since Depot’s Towcester debut for Team Mullins. In his second race, he was beaten in A5 at Yarmouth.
